The 31.7m sailing yacht YQUEM has returned to the sales market after completing an extensive refit running from May 2025 through August 2026.
The 31.7m sailing yacht YQUEM has returned to the sales market after completing an extensive refit carried out from May 2025 through August 2026. Bernard Gallay Yacht Brokerage, which is marketing the yacht, says the programme refreshed major exterior, sailing and machinery elements while preserving the established character of the Bill Tripp-designed sloop.
The programme included a new teak deck and repainting, together with work to the rig and sail inventory. Machinery was serviced and the interior also received improvements, bringing the 1992-built yacht through a broad package of upgrades before her return to the brokerage market.
The timing makes completion of the work the central news event rather than a routine change of sales status. With the refit running from May 2025 until August 2026, YQUEM is being presented to prospective buyers following a sustained programme of renewal rather than a short seasonal maintenance period.
YQUEM was built in 1992 by Windship-Trident and measures 31.70 metres overall. Bernard Gallay Yacht Brokerage describes her as a Bill Tripp-designed sailing yacht, while the interior was created by Donald Starkey.
The accommodation is arranged for eight guests across four double cabins. That guest configuration remains part of the yacht's current sales specification following completion of the refit, alongside the renewed exterior, sailing equipment and machinery work.
With the refit complete, Bernard Gallay Yacht Brokerage has returned YQUEM to the market and is presenting the completed works as a central part of the yacht's current offering. The announcement brings together her recent refit record with a build and design history extending back to her 1992 delivery.
For YQUEM, the August 2026 milestone closes a programme that began more than a year earlier and establishes a fresh condition benchmark for the yacht. Her renewed market availability now follows completion of the work rather than preceding it, giving buyers a current specification built around the finished refit package.
