The Young 88 is a quintessential New Zealand design that has achieved legendary status in the Southern Hemisphere as one of the most successful cruiserracers ever produced. Designed by the prolific Jim Young in the late 1970s and first launched in 1981, the vessel was intended to be a "fast family cruiser" that could perform double duty as a competitive club racer. The design struck a chord, leading to a production run of over 150 hulls, predominantly built by Roger Land Boats. Its enduring popularity is largely attributed to its balance of a modern (for its era) hull shape, a powerful fractional rig, and a surprisingly functional interior that allows for coastal cruising with a full crew.
