From sail to power, the new yachts by Wally

The project was developed by Wally’s design team headed by Luca Bassani and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, who worked with Laurent Giles NA Ltd for the naval architecture and Studio A. Vallicelli & Co for interior design. Wally’s first full-wide-body model once again pushes design boundaries. With its wide body design, this 200 GT yacht offers far larger volumes compared to traditional motorboats, plus a living space and stability that are definitely the greatest of the market segment. It essentially provides all the advantages of a catamaran but has none of its limitations. The innovative motor yacht combines the comfort and space of a much larger displacement yacht with the speed and performance of a semi-displacement boat. Measuring less than 24m loadline, the yacht is rewriting the rules to make volume the most important gauge of a yacht. In keeping with a design philosophy that aims to combine form and function with new and immersive yachting experiences, the WHY200 features a spectacular 4.7-metre high glazed bow to maximise seaworthiness like working explorer vessels. This houses a stunning 37sqm master suite that commands the sea with an uninterrupted 270-degree view of the horizon. The eye-catching upper deck has a futuristic glass-and-carbon dome and an extended, structural top with no supporting pillars.

 

 

 

This groundbreaking addition to the Wallypower line marks the start of the revamping of the iconic Wally range and will have its world debut at the Boot Düsseldorf show in January 2022. As on the 118wallypower, the 58wallypower features pure lines dominated by the double chines in the hull and the air intakes. The yacht’s interior is bathed in natural light from overhead, meaning there is no need for traditional openings to port or starboard. The superstructure of the 58wallypower displays typical Wally DNA with its pillarless curved glass, broad side decks, and ample guest areas that are open to the surroundings but protected from the sun, wind and water.

 

 

 

Besides three thrilling new performance cruisers in the 100ft-plus category, construction is well under way on the fully custom Wally101, inspired by the Wallycento box-rule design. The outer carbon skin of the Wally101 hull has been completed and cured. Completion of the hull is scheduled for the end of October. At the same time, bulkheads, the keel trunk and other structures are under construction, and the engineering of the auxiliary systems is in progress. The rig engineering is due to be shipped at the end of 2022, with the new yacht on schedule for delivery in May 2023. It is just one of several projects of the Wally world. With a proud track record in carbon fibre technology, Wally is leveraging all its know-how to create a new line of technically superior performance cruisers. Extensive use of pre-preg carbon construction ensures that these boats will be powerful cruisers that can hold more than their own on the racecourse. The first off the drawing board is the Wally110. Displaying all the hallmarks of Wally’s timeless style, the Wally110 is safe and comfortable, yet boasts a high performing pedigree. The raised saloon configuration and Terrace-on-the-sea concept maximise elegant living space, while the seductive lines signed judel/vrolijk & co., will deliver fast, comfortable passages and a turn of speed around the buoys.

The larger Wally130 and Wally150 are being developed to complete the visionary brand’s range of new supersailers. Custom features and a range of keel and equipment choices will be available. But all the boats will share one thing: Wally’s mastery of the most advanced technologies in construction, engineering and systems put to the service of a new generation of supremely capable boats.
