Young 8.4 design info


Recommended Posts

Hi to all

I recently purchased a Young 8.4 and I’m trying to find the specs for the yacht.  Found plenty about Y88’s but not Y8.4’s

does anyone know where I may find them, as internet search’s so far have drawn a blank

many thanks 

Alex

Googling for young rocket 8.4 rather than just young 8.4 will find you a bunch more info. I think I remember a thread on here, and a similar one on sailing anarchy with various history on these and the other young rockets. You may find some of the specs by trawling through those?

Was built by Phizzle (Phil from UK Sail Makers in Whangarei) He has some good stories for that boat too! Give him a call and have a yarn with him while he is locked down!

Thanks everyone for helping me find out more about my Yacht.It is the Young Galaxy 8.4 and we believe ( so far ) that it’s the only one that’s been Built.  this one was built by Phil and Bill, and I have had contact from Phil and hopefully will get more info from him soon.   I’m glad to say I’ve had the rig out and running & standing rigging has been replaced, it’s now back in and awaiting L2 so I can put her back in the water while awaiting quotes for new racing sails.

Hi

I worked with the guy who purchased  it in about 1989/90.  He had it out of the water for quite a while and had a boatbuilder (don't know who) install the current interior and do some strengtheing work as he was more cruising oriented than racing but wanted something roomy and quick.  He didn't sail it much.  His marriage split up and he passed away maybe 20 plus years ago at a pretty young age.  Not sure whether he sold it or the executor of his estate.
