Monaco, 29 September 2022 – Progress on Wally’s new super sailing range has reached a milestone with the release of the first detailed renderings of the bigger yachts. While building continues on the wallywind110, the in-house design team headed by #lucabassani has been working hand-in-glove with renowned naval architect firm judel+vrolijk & co and design studio #santamariamagnolfi to develop the breathtaking new #wallywind130 and #wallywind150.
Pure #wally DNA
Even a cursory glance confirms that these boats pay true homage to the values held dear by #wally. They have huge speed potential, being entirely built in carbon fibre composite, possess achingly handsome lines and an interior that skilfully blends extreme comfort with contemporary aesthetics.
From the exterior, there is no mistaking the exceptional pedigree of these huge sailing yachts. Running aft from the plumb bow towards the open “Terrace-on-the-sea” transom, the sheerline only dips at the last moment. The foredeck is totally free of obstacles or features that could challenge the eye (or the toes) and the glass-set coachroof is so low profile that it barely troubles the lines of the yachts.
“Wally is re-affirming its sailing roots with the launch of these designs,” says Wally Managing Director Stefano de Vivo. “Alongside the wallywind110, the #wallywind130 and #wallywind150 represent the pinnacle of carbon composite construction for blissful cruising and exhilarating racing. We liken the boats to the Grand Turismo cars, which is to say powerful and supremely comfortable. I believe these are the best round-the world sailing machines ever created.”
Wally Founder and Chief Designer Luca Bassani explains: “The #wallywind150 is the natural evolution of the Wally144 Kauris IV launched in 2020. It includes some #wally iconic features, such as the cockpit protected by the high bulwarks, the Terrace-on-the-sea and the raised saloon. On the other hand, it also introduces a few more revolutionary features such as the forward guest area which doubles as a tender garage when not in use, a truly private owner’s terrace aft as well as a new interior layout to enhance flexibility for the owner.”
By contrast, the design of the bulwarks is such that the coachroof hides a huge and convivial raised salon that flows smoothly into the cockpit without a single change in levels. No fewer than three social zones occupy more than a third of the boat’s length to create an entertaining space that is unparalleled on yachts of this size. Among them is the famous ‘Terrace-on the sea” that #wally pioneered in 1998 with Tiketitan.
Twin helm stations are discretely positioned just inside the raised bulwarks, allowing guests to be as involved in the sailing as they wish. Sail controls and navigation displays are set amidships, but there is barely a rope to be seen. Wally’s original Magic Trim system, now much imitated, means that the main and self-tacking jib are set and adjusted at the push of a button using hidden hydraulic rams. Just the gigantic, custom-made spinnaker sheet winches on the quarter give the game away.
Beneath the foredeck is hidden a tender well for storing a generously sized tender (4.50m – 14’ 9’’ - on the #wallywind130; 5.00+m – 16’ 4’’ – in the wallywind150) completely out of sight. On the larger #superyacht, this well doubles as a forward guest cockpit that can be converted into a cushion-lined dining area or lounge. In the transom, the hydraulic passerelle stows flush and can be angled up to the quayside or down for elegant access to the water.
