Cruising sailing super-yacht YAM 2

3-cabinwith open transomcarbon

Originally conceived as P2, S/Y Yam 2 was designed to fulfil the owner’s desire for a smaller and faster sailing yacht, combining performance with structural robustness beyond the constraints of carbon-fibre construction. Delivered as a 38-metre sloop by Perini Navi, she represents the first expression of a new, more performance-oriented generation within the Perini Navi fleet. Controlled Authority Designed by Philippe Briand, Yam 2 was conceived to deliver power and responsiveness across a wide range of conditions, with particular sensitivity in light airs and controlled authority in stronger winds. Her tapered hull is built in Sealium, a high-strength aluminium alloy that allows for an optimised lightweight structure, keeping displacement below 130 tonnes. Innovative Highlights Her technical configuration includes a lifting keel with bulb, variable from 5.5 to 3.5 metres, complemented by a 7-tonne water ballast system. The sail plan features a 50-metre high-modulus carbon-fibre mast, PBO standing rigging and a Park Avenue boom, supporting an upwind sail area of approximately 734 square metres. The result is a sailing yacht engineered for sportsmanlike performance while maintaining comfort, safety and the core principles of Perini Navi design philosophy.
