Y8, PEREGRIN

Broker's Comments

The Y8 PEREGRIN, designed by Luca Brenta and built for Michael Schmidt by his own company in 2015, is a high-performance sailing yacht that seamlessly combines speed, luxury, and ease of use. Crafted as a fast passage cruiser, the Y8 features a lightweight carbon fibre hull with sleek, modern lines, ensuring minimal water resistance and impressive speeds, even in light winds. The yacht’s design emphasizes performance, efficiency, and simplicity, making it ideal for solo sailing or operation by a minimal crew.

PEREGRIN’s rigging setup further enhances her performance, incorporating carbon Axxon spars, a fully battened mainsail, and a Park Avenue boom for efficient sail adjustments. A self-tacking jib minimizes manual effort, while powered winches enable effortless control from the helm, ensuring a smooth and responsive sailing experience in varying conditions.

Inside, the yacht features a minimalist yet functional layout with modern, open-plan spaces that prioritize comfort and usability. The owner’s private aft cabin includes a centreline double bed, a desk area, a settee, and a walk-in wardrobe, with direct access to the aft deck. The saloon is bright and inviting, offering comfortable seating, a dining area, and a thoughtfully designed galley. This layout fosters a social atmosphere while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

The chart area is conveniently positioned near the saloon, with the crew accommodation for two located aft of the chart table, offering easy access to the engine room.

Guest cabins are situated forward, each equipped with a double berth, generous storage, and en-suite bathrooms, providing a luxurious and private retreat. The layout ensures guest privacy and tranquility, separated from the main living areas for a serene onboard experience.

PEREGRIN’s performance is a standout feature, with a lightweight hull and optimized rig enabling fast, efficient sailing across a variety of conditions. The yacht’s systems and equipment are meticulously designed for simplicity, reliability, and ease of maintenance, allowing the owner to focus on sailing rather than upkeep. This emphasis on user-friendly technology elevates the overall experience, whether cruising for extended journeys or enjoying shorter excursions.

The Y8 PEREGRIN strikes an exceptional balance between performance and luxury. Its sleek, aerodynamic exterior is engineered for speed and efficiency, while the interior offers a comfortable, minimalist design tailored to enhance long voyages. For owners seeking the exhilaration of fast sailing combined with the comforts of a luxury yacht, PEREGRIN provides a seamless and unforgettable experience.
