Youl took out the senior heavyweight men's singles, pairs, doubles, quads, coxless fours, cox fours and cox eights over 2000 metres.
"I had been told by a few people that it had never been done before," Youl said, "so it's pretty cool to think I am the first to achieve that."
The enormity of the clean sweep had dawned on Youl afterwards when regaling in its tradition and history.
The senior men's eight and cox four are the oldest events dating back over 100 years.
While the single sculls was for the most prized piece of silverware at the state titles named after Australia's first Olympic rower Cecil McVilly.
"So everything just went to plan - it was one of the best regattas I've had," Youl said.
"I put it up there with my under-23 world championship medal in 2016. I definitely hold this in high regard."
The Tamar captain also led a dominant procession from the Launceston club, whose heavyweight men won every race at Lake Barrington.
Clubmate John Mckenzie won five and a group of other Tamar rowers added four.
"I love the club and I joke I bleed navy blue," Youl said.
"It is wicked to do such an achievement like that with some of my best mates."
The 23-year-old went as far as to say that breaking the longstanding previous mark could not be possible without his mates in the boat.
"I spoke about it with my coach that there was a possibility the Tamar club could win every event," Youl said.
"I feel very lucky I was able to do all of them, but I am very lucky to be surrounded by such great oarsman and achieve that with them.
"This is not only for me, but it is an achievement I wanted to set out to do for the club.
"I am just very passionate about the club and very excited to be able to pull it off.
"I do try to lift everyone as I want to make everyone around me a better rower."
The winning eight that made up the final event of the weekend come from all corners of Launceston and were once schoolboy rivals.
Youl attended Launceston Church Grammar, McKenzie went to Scotch while the bulk of the crew came to Tamar from St Patrick's College.
The record-clinching row was a touching swansong for many of the rowers, who are planning to move onto new challenges and may not race together again.
"It's something that has kept me in the sport so long," Youl said. "The camaraderie and the mateship that I have with those blokes - I have been rowing with some of them for five or six years now.
"We have won a lot of championships and created a lot of memories on and off the water together."
Rowing Tasmania officials confirmed multiple rowers have won all seven events in their careers but never at the same regatta.
