The new Y8 from YYachts: “The good mood boat” (in carbon)

The new Y8 from the YYachts shipyard is the unprecedented evolution of large yachts from Teutonic production. It proves that boats like these, although very large, can include the coveted “simplicity”. Without omitting top luxury and safe navigation. The “good mood” on board also comes from the super performance, optimal for fast cruising and racing with friends.

Comfort and performance

Luxury, large spaces, but above all simplicity and cruising performance. YYachts worked on this Y8 in synergy with Javier Jaudeness of Surge Projects. The result is all there: a big, fast yacht that will amaze anyone. Let’s start by describing the exterior , but without neglecting a curiosity. Donna Rosa is also a film that tells the story of a boatman who falls in love with the daughter of an antiquarian aspiring to nobility. And when you look at the colour palette of this Y8, you can see the same atmosphere of mischief and romance as in Ettore Maria Fizzarotti’s movie. But there’s more. The soft pink colour of Donna Rosa ‘s hull, however, implies carbon with the superior performance that this material can offer.

Yyachts Y8: exciting racing

Lightweight, “ the new Y8 is a lot of fun. I would describe it as a good-mood boat, ” says Javier Jaudeness . How could he not be right? Donna Rosa’s performance promises to be ultra-satisfying, but the brand’s philosophy is one of easy yachting for carefree cruising.

And safety: “ We build fast boats that are both safe and easy to manoeuvre, ” explains Dirk Zademack , CEO of YYachts. We know this and so does Micheal Schmidt: “Sailing with fun is something that can be achieved with a yacht that is simple and kept to a minimum without sacrificing comfort” . Along with this goes a sophisticated design, with a Nordic, uncluttered interior that is relaxed, very Zen-like but warm at the same time.

The design study for this new Y8 includes numerous details that confirm the brand’s quest for “performance”. The large foredeck is completely free of structural obstacles, with its large bowsprit to increase the sail plan. And, most importantly, the engine room is positioned at amidships below the saloon to further lower the yacht’s centre of gravity. This increases the yacht’s speed while also stabilizing it.

Another innovative solution is the transverse garage at the stern. The deckhouse is also entirely panoramic, with a slightly raised roof. It is also perfect for the cold seasons and offers a pleasant ‘ homey ‘ feeling. The separate access to the cockpit for the crew is another feature that should not be underestimated. In terms of accommodation , the owner’s cabin can be arranged forward or aft. In total there’s room for three or four cabins. And the galley is available in both closed and open versions.

The new Y8 from YYachts is set to become an iconic large yacht. But to really appreciate it, you have to totally embrace that famous “ good mood ” concept that only yachts like this can offer.

The specific client tapped David Thulstrup to bring the interiors to life. The renowned architect and designer takes a holistic approach to projects and weaves in various aspects of his Scandinavian heritage. This particular vessel is distinguished by a palette of warm browns and rich wood that together create a cozy ambiance. The decor is quintessentially Scandi chic, with minimalist fixtures and furnishings. The superstructure is fitted with plenty of windows to ensure an abundance of natural light.

In terms of layout, the newcomer is equipped with fewer bulkheads than its predecessors and is configured a little differently. The crew quarters are located in the stern, while two guest staterooms with en suites sit forward. At the center of the living quarters is a main salon that comprises a lounge with plush sofas and a dining area with a table for up to eight guests. The dining area can also be separated by sliding doors and used as an office.

The exterior of the yacht is arguably more impressive than the interior. It was the handiwork of Javier Jaudenenes and Surge Projects. The duo has designed a myriad of fast cruisers and thus has plenty of experience in engineering for maximum speed. Crafted from carbon, the Y8 features a wider stern than previous models, and her mast is also set further back than others. Jaudenes says a lot of R&D from previous projects has been poured into this design and he is confident that the jib will provide a lot of speed.

“It is an essence of our experience and will be fast, but at the same time very safe under any conditions,” adds Jaudenes.

The YYachts success story began with the Y8. After “Cool Breeze”, the first YYacht ever, and further individual Y8 follow-up orders, YYachts now developed a modified 80 feet platform for a Swiss customer. For the new Y8, the YYachts design and development team based in Palma de Mallorca cooperated with Surge Projects.

The Mallorcan design studio around Javier Jaudenes has a “knack” for a timelessly elegant design, but also has great experience in designing fast yachts. Surge designs have won many trophies, and the studio has developed such interesting yachts as “Win Win” or the Café Racer. YYachts CEO Dirk Zademack says: “Javier Jaudenes is an excellent fit for YYachts with his previous projects; he is a great addition to Bill Tripp. We build fast boats that are both safe and easy to handle. That they also display outstanding design is a given.”

In contrast to the previous Y8, the new model has a wider stern, so in combination with the mast set further back, Javier Jaudenes predicts high speed potential for his design: “The Jib will provide a lot of speed. A lot of R&D results from previous projects have gone into the Y8. It is an essence of our experience and will be fast, but at the same time very safe under any conditions. The fact that YYachts builds from carbon naturally suits our philosophy.” Jaudenes: “The new Y8 is a lot of fun. I would describe her as a good-mood yacht.”

Of course, the new Y8 also offers YYachts’ usual innovative standard – such as the transverse garage in the stern, the self-tacking jib, the separate crew access in the cockpit or the flat deckhouse, whose optimally placed windows prevent the yacht from heating up too much.

Incidentally, the interior volume of the yacht is 20 percent larger than that of its predecessor. This results in many different layout options: The owner’s suite including a separate saloon can be located either in the bow or in the stern with direct access to the cockpit, the galley can be installed open or closed, and three or four cabins can be fitted. By moving the engine room below the saloon floor, the yacht gets a lower centre of gravity and thus a better balance, which results in additional speed.

Incidentally, thanks to the slightly raised saloon floor, owners and guests can enjoy an unobstructed view of the sea from the saloon. YYachts founder Michael Schmidt comments: “For me, this new Y8 is a very special design. After all, I founded the shipyard with the first Y8. In between, there are quite a few orders. But yachting is always evolving due to new building materials, different rigs and also the regatta scene. This is what inspires us at YYachts to continually develop new products.”

The first three units of the new Y8 have already been sold.

YYachts was born in the mid-2010s with the launch of the Y8, an 80-foot fast cruising yacht. In 2022, the German shipyard offers a renewed design with an à la carte layout.

A second design for the Y8

German shipyard YYachts builds luxurious, fast and comfortable carbon fiber cruising yachts between 20 and 35 meters. The success of the shipyard founded by Michael Schmidt began with the launch of the Y8 in 2015, an 80-foot sailboat named "Cool Breeze."

six years later, the yard developed a new design, modifying the 80-foot hull of the first model. For this new project for a Swiss client, the Palma de Mallorca-based design and development team collaborated with Surge Projects. The Mallorcan design firm headed by Javier Jaudenes is known for its elegant, timeless and fast-paced designs. It has received several awards including for the Baltic 108.

A revised deck plan for better performance

Unlike the previous model, the new Y8 has a wider stern and is inspired by the IMOCA boats, as the owner wanted. By moving the mast back, Javier Jaudenes predicts a higher speed potential, to carry a larger surface of headsail and improve upwind conditions. The side helms are positioned aft, with the maneuvers hidden in the deck and returning to the winches installed nearby. The transom extends to become a swim platform with ladder. The central cockpit offers two large U-shaped benches with tables, which can be transformed into a sunbathing area.

Timelessness that never changes

On board the yacht, you will find the characteristics of the range, namely, a transverse dinghy garage, a self-tacking jib, a separate access for the crew in the cockpit or a lowered roof whose position of the windows prevents the saloon from overheating.

A modular interior design

The interior volume is 20% larger than that of its predecessor. This results in numerous layout possibilities. The owner's suite, including a private lounge, can be located either forward or aft, with direct access to the cockpit. The galley can be open or closed and three to four cabins can be integrated on board the yacht. By moving the technical area under the salon floor, the center of gravity is lower and the boat is more balanced and therefore faster.

Thanks to the slightly elevated saloon floor, crew members can enjoy a view of the sea.

YYachts Unveils The New Y8 Custom With Customized Interiors

Based on their successful Y8 design the German boatyard YYachts has developed for a customer, a former racing sailor, a more made-to-measure version with a different philosophy. The Y8 is a stunning design created by Javier Jaudenes and his Surge Projects studio, with an all-carbon hull that has been retained for the new Y8 Custom version. However, many changes have been made to the yacht to accommodate the owner’s personal ideas, such as the removal of backstays and the use of a square top main to increase power in lighter air conditions.

To incorporate the owner’s wishes, the interior layout has also been extensively customized by YYachts ‘ design team. The main salon is a sumptuous area that includes a relaxing lounge plus an exclusive dining area. This space can be used as part of the salon or, by closing the doors, can enlarge the master cabin converting into a fully equipped seagoing office. For this reason, here there are lockers dedicated to galley utensils and cutlery on one side and to office materials and equipment on the other side The crew quarters are located aft and are separate from the rest of the boat. The crew has two entrances, one connected to the cockpit and one close to the salon.

Thanks to this special configuration, the Y8 Custom’s coachroof is now longer and very sleek, creating a large cockpit for relaxing and enjoying days at sea or when moored.

YYachts’ founder Michael Schmidt concludes: “ The Y8 is the perfect size for me and it’s no coincidence that I once owned one myself. With the Y8 Custom, we can now serve almost every customer’s taste and requirements in this size category. ”

Every owner can bring in their own preferences – the Y8 Custom interior is very much a blank sheet of paper and the YYachts team is available to offer a more tailored and refined experience.

The delivery of the new Y8 Custom will be in January 2024.

Germany’s YYachts developing new Y8 designed by Spain’s Surge Projects

• December 13, 2021

YYachts by Michael Schmidt Yachtbau is building a new Y8 designed by Palma studio Surge Projects that offers 20 per cent more volume than its predecessor.

The salmon-hulled version of the new Y8

YYachts is developing a new version of its Y8 that develops upon Cool Breeze , the brand’s first yacht. Built for the brand’s owner Michael Schmidt, Cool Breeze was followed by individual Y8 orders, but YYachts has now developed a modified 80ft platform that offers 20 per cent more interior volume.

The German builder produces fast, luxurious carbon-composite sailing yachts at its shipyard in Wieck on the Baltic Sea. Its most popular model is its Bill Tripp-designed Y7 (70ft), with over a dozen sales, while it’s also producing the first units of the flagship Y9, a 90-footer based on the custom-built Tripp 90 launched earlier this year.

The Y8 sits between the Y7 and Y9

The Y8 sits in the middle of the range and the first three units of the new version have already been sold, with the first hull for a Swiss customer.

For the new Y8, the YYachts design and development team based in Palma de Mallorca in Spain cooperated with Surge Projects, founded by Javier Jaudenes in 2012. Surge Projects designs have won many trophies and developed yachts as Win Win or the Café Racer.

The new Y8 is designed by Surge Projects

Dirk Zademack, CEO of YYachts, said: “Javier Jaudenes is an excellent fit for YYachts with his previous projects; he is a great addition to Bill Tripp. We build fast boats that are both safe and easy to handle. That they also display outstanding design is a given.”

In contrast to the previous Y8, the new model has a wider stern and a mast set further back, which Jaudenes predicts will result in high speeds.

YYachts offers luxurious, light interiors

“The jib will provide a lot of speed. A lot of R&D results from previous projects have gone into the Y8,” said Jaudenes, who said the fact that YYachts builds from carbon suits his studio’s philosophy.

“It’s an essence of our experience and will be fast, but at the same time very safe under any conditions. The new Y8 is a lot of fun. I would describe her as a good-mood yacht.”

The new Y8 includes a transverse garage in the stern, self-tacking jib and separate crew access in the cockpit and flat deckhouse, where optimally placed windows prevent the yacht from overheating.

The increased volume allows for many different layout options. The owner’s suite including a separate saloon can be located either in the bow or in the stern with direct access to the cockpit. The galley can be installed open or closed, while three or four cabins can be fitted.

Options include an aft owner’s suite with direct cockpit access

By moving the engine room below the saloon floor, the yacht has a lower centre of gravity and a better balance, also increasing speed. Due to the slightly raised saloon floor, owners and guests can enjoy an unobstructed view of the sea from the saloon.

Schmidt, who founded YYachts in 2016, said: “For me, this new Y8 is a very special design. After all, I founded the shipyard with the first Y8. In between, there were quite a few orders. But yachting is always evolving due to new building materials, different rigs and the regatta scene. This is what inspires us at YYachts to continually develop new products.” www.yyachts.de

Y focus on carbon: Custom Tripp 90 by YYachts Specialising in luxury carbon sailing yachts from 70-100ft, Germany’s YYachts has launched its custom-built Tripp 90, which features an exterior by Bill Tripp and a richly detailed interior by Winch Design – and will be followed by the Y9 model in 2022.

Y8 // Y Yachts

The story of y yachts by michael schmidt yachtbau began with the y8 called " cool breeze ". now, here comes a new version..

Ten different layouts are available for this nearly 24-meter-long yacht, allowing customers and their designers to customize it according to their specific requirements and preferences.

In an impressive move, a seasoned YYachts owner has enlisted renowned architect and designer David Thulstrup to create the interior of his Y8. Thulstrup, an award-winning architect and designer, combines his Scandinavian heritage with a contemporary design language, resulting in a refined and holistic approach to architecture, interiors, and product design. His practice is deeply rooted in enduring Scandinavian values of honesty and humanism, strongly emphasizing materiality. A central principle of his work is considering people’s emotions and well-being. By taking a comprehensive approach to every aspect of a project, David creates spaces that provide comfort and harmony with their surroundings. The interior design of the Y8 will perfectly embody this philosophy and Thulstrup’s distinctive approach. Warm beige, brown, and wood tones will create a cozy ambiance that exudes relaxation and elegance. A plank-like floor will visually connect the exterior and interior, while the narrow, flat windows and surrounding windows of the Y8’s sleek superstructure will fill the space with natural light.

Interior design of the Y8

The Y8, designed by David Thulstrup, has a unique feature compared to the previous Y8 yachts. It has fewer bulkheads, allowing for a different configuration of spaces. The crew area is located at the stern in this layout, while four guests can sleep in two cabins with en suite bathrooms. The centerpiece of the yacht is the salon, which is divided into a lounge area with spacious sofas on both sides and a dining area with a table for six to eight guests. The dining area can be separated using sliding doors, creating a private or office space.

The exterior and technical design of the yacht was done by Javier Jaudenes and the experienced Surge Projects team, which is known for its performance-oriented fast cruisers. This is why Javier Jaudenes refers to the Y8 as a “fun boat.”

Unlike the earlier Y8 models, this new version has a broader stern, and the mast is set further back. Javier Jaudenes believes this design will result in high-speed potential, especially with the help of the jib. The Y8 incorporates the knowledge gained from previous projects and is designed to be fast and safe under any conditions. The use of carbon in the construction by YYachts aligns with their philosophy.

The new Y8 from YYachts: “The good mood boat” (in carbon)

The new Y8 from the YYachts shipyard is the unprecedented evolution of large yachts from Teutonic production. It proves that boats like these, although very large, can include the coveted “simplicity”. Without omitting top luxury and safe navigation. The “good mood” on board also comes from the super performance, optimal for fast cruising and racing with friends.

Her name is Donna Rosa and she is a beautiful eighty-foot carbon fibre yacht built by German yard YYachts for an ambitious Swiss client. The newly sold Y8 constitutes an upgrade in terms of improved performance and 20% increased volumes, compared to the original model that gave birth to the YYachts brand back in 2016 .

Comfort and performance

Luxury, large spaces, but above all simplicity and cruising performance. YYachts worked on this Y8 in synergy with Javier Jaudeness of Surge Projects. The result is all there: a big, fast yacht that will amaze anyone. Let’s start by describing the exterior , but without neglecting a curiosity.

With her construction, the Y8 has good potential for regatta victories. Since the mast has been placed further aft, the new Y8 carries a larger headsail, which provides better height in the wind. In the cockpit, guests enjoy a wonderful sailing atmosphere al fresco. The crew has a separate entrance here. With its soft edges and coachroof, and flooded with natural light, the Y8 has a relaxing atmosphere ! 

Like the hull, the rig of the Y8 is also made of carbon. Here, too, YYachts trusts only proven manufacturers.

ONE SIZE. THREE YACHTS. MANY OPTIONS.

Create your individual superyacht.

Our Y9 is unique and so is every single Y9. Above all, she is as individual as our customers themselves, because her layout and equipment are completely variable. Complementing this, the Y9 offers the volume of a 100-foot yacht in 90 feet. And she is available in three exciting versions – Y9, Y9 Pilot House, Y9 Custom.

The main focus for Y9 owners is spending time with family and friends on board. As a result, the 90-foot carbon sailing yacht is easy to sail even with a small crew. Her interior design fulfills and even extends all owners' wishes for a family yacht with sufficient privacy while they travel the world. Of course, the Y9 can also prove her potential on regatta courses in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean and sail right at the front of the field. She will be a formidable opponent in any regatta.

Like all YYachts, the Y9 follows a clear design philosophy - reducing all unnecessary superstructure and components to create a clean and minimalist deck: Keep it simple. Look good and sail nicely.

BRINGS IMMEASURABLE JOY TO ITS OWNER

The luxury of being able to set out to sea self-sufficiently and with confidence is priceless. Even more enjoyable, is a comfortable, high performance and seaworthy yacht that sails fast and looks cool. Our Y9 delivers that in a way no other yacht can. 

Toby Hodges on the new Y9

Stylish lines and details.

Speed, large interior spaces and a cutting-edge look characterize our Y9

Our brand new Y9 is the logical continuation of our models Y7 and Y8. The development of the Y9 was driven by requests from customers for an easy to sail and fast yacht that requires a small crew and has a fantastic volume. 

Customized to your taste

The interior of the Y9 can be customized according to the individual taste of every customer. Make the Y9 yours only and get inspired by the interior design proposal of the award-winning studio Norm Architects from Copenhagen. Our inhouse design team will coordinate any other wishes you might have in terms of styling, layout and decoration. With the Y9 you are buying a real superyacht.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the all-new features of the luxurious YYachts Y9 with our 360° view

Y9 sailing yacht - space for your ideas, your y9. your layout..

The spaciousness of a 100ft yacht was achievable on the Y9 in 90ft by implementing many years of expertise in design and construction. The owner is provided the highest level of privacy with his own apartment; dependent upon the configuration, up to three additional suites are available for guests. Considerable importance was given to the design of the crew area, after all an unwritten rule in yachting is “happy crew, happy owner”. 

There are various layouts available for the Y9 in addition to numerous interior furnishing options. The YYachts team will work with each owner to personalize their interior. You may also select your own interior designer for the project. 

Y9 STANDARD LAYOUT

Y9 layout 2, y9 layout 3, y9 layout 4, y9 layout 5, the y9 pilot house.

GRACIOUS SPACE FOR FAMILYAND FRIENDS 

The Y9 Pilot House is the second version of the Y9 category and features a striking deckhouse that offers a very bright salon and phenomenal views at the sea. The layout of the Y9 Pilot House is optimized for families and friends to enjoy extensive cruising. Andrew Winch and his experienced team designed a sophisticated atmosphere below deck.

scaled to human dimensions

The Y9 is perfectly scaled to human dimensions and activities by eliminating exaggerated exterior and interior lines and proportions, as well as ineffectual spaces that are difficult to manage and maintain. Ensuring the owner remains connected to the sea and onboard guest with minimal distractions.

Perfect view to the sea

Several guest and crew cabin options are available for the Y9 Pilot House. The distinctive coach roof floods the salon with abundant daylight, which also boasts 360° views of the sea. This coach roof design is not only an aesthetic element, but also helps to reduce overheating below deck by deflecting the rays of the warming sun and minimizing the energy required to keep the interior cool in hot climates. This is just one of the aspects defining the Y9 as a sustainable yacht.

The Y9 custom

Completely individual 90 feet from YYachts

We can also start a 90-foot yacht with a white piece of paper and implement a design that has never existed before – you will receive a yacht which is yours and only yours. 

The latest example of the capabilities of our Custom Division is the YC Tripp 90, a 30-metre carbon sloop with an exterior designed by American Naval Architect Bill Trippand an interior by Winch Design, a renowned leading superyacht designer based in London.  The owner is an experienced yachtsman who wants to alternate bluewater comfortable navigation with performance-oriented experiences. Discover the YC/Tripp90 here and see videos, exterior and interior pictures.

ISA Yachts' custom 80m superyacht seen for the first time

ISA Yachts , a brand of Palumbo Superyachts , has revealed the first in-build images of a custom 80-metre superyacht. The unnamed project is currently undergoing interior outfitting, with delivery scheduled for 2026.

The largest yacht built by ISA Yachts to date, it marks the first collaboration between the Italian shipyard and Espen Øino , who is responsible for the yacht's exterior design.

Giuseppe Palumbo, director of Palumbo Superyachts, has described the superyacht as an "avant-garde" project that "consolidates [the] company’s presence in the international superyacht panorama".

The yacht’s naval engineering is a joint effort between Palumbo Superyachts and Italian studio Hydro Tec .

"We are delighted to be working with ISA on this exciting project. [The] owners are experienced and have a keen eye for aesthetics and a background in naval architecture," said Espen Øino.

The client was introduced by Nicholas Hidiroglou of Parsifal Yachting and joins 12 other yachts under construction at Palumbo, ranging from 24 to 80 metres.

This project is under construction alongside an 80-metre Gran Turismo, designed inside and out by Enrico Gobbi and due for delivery in 2027.

The Italian shipyard recently shared the ISA Unica 40 with BOAT International . The new 40-metre model is characterised by elongated exterior decks and an oversized bow that features a sunbathing area and an "entertainment space".

The UK government finally passes bill to send migrants to Rwanda. What took so long?

LONDON — The British Parliament has finally passed legislation to send some migrants to Rwanda , clearing the runway for flights this summer under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak ’s controversial plan aimed at deterring risky English Channel crossings by people desperate to reach the U.K.

A bill designed to unblock a plan beset by court challenges and legislative battles was approved early Tuesday, delivering what Sunak hopes will be a much-needed political victory and fulfill his pledge to “stop the boats.”

Human rights activists and migrants’ groups have vowed to continue the fight against the policy, which they say is unethical and inhumane.

Here’s a look at the plan and what it took to reach this stage.

WHAT IS THE RWANDA PLAN?

The Rwanda plan is the British government’s response to the growing number of migrants from around the world — reaching a high of 46,000 in 2022 — who cross the English Channel from France to Britain in small boats.

Most people who arrive that way apply for asylum, and in the past many have been granted it. The Conservative government says these migrants should not be treated as genuine refugees because they did not claim asylum in another safe country, such as France, that they reached first.

In an attempt to deter people from making the risky journeys, the U.K. struck a deal with Rwanda in April 2022 to send migrants who arrive in the U.K. as stowaways or in boats to the East African country, where their asylum claims would be processed and, if successful, they would stay.

Human rights groups and other critics of the plan say it is unworkable and unethical to send migrants to a country 4,000 miles (6,400 miles) away that they don’t want to live in. No one has yet been sent to Rwanda, but Sunak has said the first flights will leave in July.

ID IT TAKE SO LONG TO REACH THIS POINT?

The Rwanda plan was immediately met with legal challenges. The first removal flight was grounded at the last moment in June 2022 after a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights,

The case ultimately reached Britain’s Supreme Court, which dealt the government a defeat in November, ruling that the policy is unlawful because Rwanda is not a safe third country where migrants can be sent. Five justices unanimously said that “the removal of the claimants to Rwanda would expose them to a real risk of ill-treatment” because they could be sent back to the home countries they had fled.

The judges said there was evidence Rwanda had a culture that misunderstood its obligations under the Refugee Convention, was dismissive toward asylum-seekers from the Middle East and Afghanistan, and had little experience of the asylum procedures needed to handle the cases of migrants from around the world.

HOW DID THE U.K. GOVERNMENT RESPOND?

Britain and Rwanda signed a treaty in December pledging to strengthen protections for migrants, partly by barring Rwanda from sending any migrants deported from the U.K back to their home countries. Sunak’s government argued the treaty allowed it to pass a law declaring Rwanda a safe destination.

The Safety of Rwanda Bill, which was passed Tuesday, pronounces the country safe , making it harder for migrants to challenge deportation and allows the British government to ignore injunctions from the European Court of Human Rights that seek to block removals.

If that fails to stop legal challenges, Sunak has said he would consider ignoring or leaving international human rights treaties including the European Convention on Human Rights. That move is backed by some members of Sunak’s governing Conservative Party, but would draw strong domestic opposition and international criticism. The only European countries that are not party to the rights convention are Belarus and Russia.

The Rwandan government insists it is “committed to its international obligations” and has been recognized by the U.N. and other international institutions “for our exemplary treatment of refugees.” Rwanda’s government says the country is ready to receive migrants from Britain, and has plans to build more than 1,000 houses, including recreational facilities, for the deportees.

HAVE OTHER COUNTRIES TRIED SIMILAR POLICIES?

Britain is not alone in trying to control irregular migration. Much of Europe and the U.S. is struggling with how best to cope with migrants seeking refuge from war, violence, oppression and a warming planet that has brought devastating drought and floods.

A few countries have tried offshore processing of asylum seekers — notably Australia, which first sent migrants to the Pacific island nation of Nauru in 2001 and has operated an asylum-processing center there since 2012.

From 2013 to 2018, Israel had a deal with Rwanda to deport African migrants, until Israel’s supreme court declared it unlawful.

Denmark has moved away from a deal with Rwanda and wants to find a solution with fellow European Union countries.

“A British or Danish solution will solve a problem for the individual country,” Danish Immigration Minister Kaare Dybvad Bek told Danish broadcaster DR Tuesday. “But we believe a unified European solution will solve more problems, because you will also stop the people smugglers who today make billions from transporting people across the Mediterranean.”

Last year, Italy reached a deal with Albania for the Balkan country to temporarily house and process some of the thousands of migrants who reach Italian shores. There is a crucial difference from the U.K. plan: it’s not a one-way trip. Successful asylum-seekers would get to start new lives in Italy, not Albania.
