The hull of the Yx7 Explorer 74 will be built in strong and relatively lightweight epoxy while owners can choose the colour. The wide stern and square-topped mainsail arrangement further ensure speed.

In contrast to catamarans and powerboats, the majority of the deck is set aside as living space. The deck saloon has lots of seating and the option to open up the aft and side windows and roof to create the ultimate inside-out location. On the same level is an eight- seat cockpit with integrated bimini and a sliding side window option. The foredeck has ample amount of seating and sunbathing space.

More leisure options are available aft, where the key feature is the twin steering positions.

All lines are brought back to the helmsman to facilitate short-handed sailing. In a similar vein, the yacht’s displacement is relatively low so owners can enjoy easy sailing by themselves.

The interior style of the Yx7 Explorer 74 can be fully customised by the owners together with the experts from Design Unlimited, including a range of woods. Highlights include:

• Large deck saloon with inside steering position, chart table with navigation seat, electronics and engine controls. Dining area can be created using lightweight table with folding leaves, served by the bar.
• Full-beam owner’s suite aft with large bathroom, lots of locker space, vanity table and desk. Dedicated companionway from cabin to cockpit via bespoke hatch.
• Wide range of layout options for guest accommodations. These include a cabin with a double bed and a cabin with bunks forward, adding a twin guest cabin further aft, using the forepeak for a VIP or dedicating this space to crew.
• Dinette with six-seat table and dedicated TV space. Connection with deck saloon maintained by keeping area above table open to port.
• Galley, large utility room for additional storage, freezers and sailing clothes.
• Six large glass hull windows to port and starboard allow a considerable amount of natural light to flood the below deck spaces.
