Designed by Danish practice Norm Architects in collaboration with acclaimed US-American naval architect Bill Tripp, and built in Greifswald, Germany, by esteemed yacht-builder MS Yachtbau, it would be fair to say that as far as sailing yachts go, “Bella” has everything going for it. Measuring almost 22 metres in length, with a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette and elegant interiors of Scandinavian minimalism, Bella, the first of the Y/Yachts model Y7, marries competitive sailing performance with comfort and style like no other.
Founded by Michael Schmidt in 2014, MS Yachtbau grew out a desire to manufacture the perfect sailing yacht. With an equal emphasis on both technology and aesthetics, the brand’s luxury carbon yachts are not only lightweight and fast, but also sport an interior design sophistication not usually associated with sailing boats.Manufactured in collaboration with an eclectic selection of international designers, each Y/Yachts model uniquely marries design, craftsmanship, function and the latest technology, and Bella is no exception.
