WOY 26

The WOY 26 is a German-built daysailer that challenges every assumption about wooden boats. Crafted from locally sourced European timber using vacuum-infusion techniques, this 8-metre yacht proves that sustainability and speed are not opposing forces. At just 1.12 tonnes, she moves with remarkable agility, recording speeds up to 18.7 knots — figures that earned her the German Innovation Award 2025 and a Special Mention at European Yacht of the Year 2026. Designed for sailors who want pure, uncomplicated time on the water, the WOY 26 balances effortless singlehanded sailing with genuine racing potential. A hydraulic lifting keel adjusts draft from 1.9 to 1.1 metres, opening access to shallow anchorages while maintaining windward performance. The carbon rig, 3Di Raw sails from North Sails, and self-tacking jib keep handling intuitive — whether cruising the Baltic or competing in club racing. Below deck, the construction is fully visible: laminated frames, stringers, and bulkheads finished in clear lacquer reveal the architecture beneath. It is a boat for those who appreciate both the process and the result — modern boatbuilding expressed through honest materials.
