New Model: Wally Why100

For the end of 2023 Wally ended it's fantastic year by launching the first unit of the Why100 in the beautiful Venice setting. The one hundred, an acronym for its gross tonnage volume rather then size is the small of the Why series, which debuted in 2021 with the Why200, and today features three models which start from twenty and go up to 29 meters in length.  For the WallyWhy100 Luca Bassani presented something different, a bridge to the Power series in design and target usage, offering a less volume focused product then the two other larger Why models.  A hard-top sport yacht with spacious accommodation and a re-invented and un-edited main deck layout, the Why100 is unique in this segment for the very forward helm station which extends the use of the main deck pushing the pilot house for over two-thirds of the length, and presents an exterior sun-lovers aft deck which offers the same spaces of similar sized yachts.  The design of main deck is also un-edited with a central circle dinette. Below the lower deck of the WallyWhy100 offers three double cabins with an owners full beam stateroom at midships, a VIP suite to port side, and twin berth guest cabin to starboard.  A galley with twin bunk berth crew cabin is located forward with a separate excess to port of the central helm station on the main deck.  The WallyWhy100 is powered by twin Volvo 900hp or optional 1000hp engines with IPS pod drives propulsion for top speeds up to 27 knots from the large power option.

Project: WallyPower50

Wally present the project for a new Power50, a new entry level for its Power range which currently offers the slightly larger 58 model which debuted in 2022 and the still in project Power165 behemouth.  Blending the best of the Wallypower and the iconic Wallytender ranges, the new 50 is redefining the genre with its flexibility and lengthy features list. Every inch the little sister of the successful WallyPower58, is to be present in this upcoming Power50 which exhibits the same pure Luca Bassani inspired lines. Planar surfaces, flush decks and the incomparable glass-and-carbon dome over the cockpit are the signatures of WallyPower. Drop down wings enlarge the aft deck by six square metres to offer extended entertaining space, while the aft platform brings the water closer than ever.  The Wallytender DNA betrays itself in the extraordinary flexibility the Power50 offers, suitable for almost any operational profile. The WallyPower50 offers two aft separate sunbeds which maximise deck space, while a modular seating in the cockpit can provide dining for eight, with the possibility of four more on forward-facing bench seats. Tender, weekender or chase boat the Wwallypower50 can do it all.  The WallyPower 50 will feature an elegant interior, dominated by a supremely comfortable double cabin with Wally’s famous Magic Portholes, an impeccable bathroom, and a flexible open area that can be turned to many uses.  The WallyPower50 is to be powered by twin Volvo 480hp with IPS650 pod drives for top out 36 knots speeds, and easy cruising at 30 knots.

Wally New Web Site

One of the most innovative boat builders and brands Wally presents its new website. Wally was officially founded in 1994, but the roots of the company started to take shape in 1991 when the founder and owner Luca Bassani was looking for a particular sailing yacht which he could single handle, and this ended up in creating an innovative custom project for himself. In 2003 Wally challenged itself again by launching the first Power model, the much talked about 118, designed by Lazzarini and Pickering and able to reach sixty knots. The revolutionary Power118 was launched in only one hull, and was soon followed by smaller Power models upwards of 45 feet. Since January 2019 Wally became part of the Ferretti Group, with the brand still managed by the creative mind of Luca Bassani.  Wally currently offers eleven fuel engine models, including of which are two fifty meters concepts.  The current range starts from the Tender43 and go up to the Why200 which debuted in 2021, with the latest model being the Why150 launched in Spring 2023. As for the sailing yachts which is where Wally made its name onward from 1994, the Monte Carlo residing Italian brand has launched over 45 custom builds from 37 feet up to 50 meters, with the current range offering four models from the eleven meters of the Nano37 to the Wind150 project. Wally new web site is available in English, Italian, Chinese, Spanish, French, and German languages and takes you around with the following buttons; Menu, Fleet, Being Wally, Wally Brokerage, News and Events, and Contacts.  Wally is also on social media with page bottom links, taking you to its Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Vimeo pages.

New Model: Wally Why150

During the Venice 2023 boat show, Wally debuted its Why150 model.  Just five centimetres over 24 meters in length, the WallyWhy150 is the second model in a range which follows the provocative three meters larger fifty GT more volume Why200 launched in 2021.  With the same team of designers of Bassani for exterior lines and concept, Vallicelli for the interiors, and Ferretti Group for engineering as the larger Why200 sister, the principle of the Why150 is the same, that to put as much usable volume in size possible.  To do this WallyWhy150 is again a full wide body design with its main selling point being again the owners stateroom on the forward part of the main deck which gives three quarters circle uninterrupted views.  A unique master stateroom not found in larger sized super yachts.  The WallyWhy150 though again strikes a unique balance of offering uninterrupted inside and outside spaces, especially on the main deck which offers open spaces which can be fitted as desired by its owner during build, and can be designed to carry a tender up to four meters in length.  The WallyWhy150 is powered by standard triple Volvo 900hp engines with IPS pod drives for speeds up to 21 knots and or optional 1000hp and 23 knots of max speed.  Though provocative and futuristic as Wally can be, the Why series is gaining fans with five units of the Why200 sold thus far, and two more units of Why150 ordered on plan.

Project: Wally Why100

The forward-thinking Wally has revealed the first details of the new model why100, a bold and unique product that successfully integrates into the WallyWhy range. The exterior design and naval architecture of the WallyWhy100 was created by the experienced Wally-Ferretti Group Engineering team, with Studio A. Vallicelli responsible for the interior design. As a crossover product, the yacht fulfils the need for a more voluminous cruiser in the sub 21 meter range, combining all of the qualities of a sport yacht coupé boat with the benefits of the WallyWhy volume. Much like the larger WallyWhy150 and Why200 models, the WallyWhy100 establishes a strong connection between the outside and inside. In contrast to many vessels of this size that divide the layout into different levels to create the illusion of more space, the Wally team doubled down on a one-level, stern-to-bow approach. This results in a hybrid area on the main deck level which can either be enjoyed closed or fully open to enable relaxed al-fresco dining. Other standout features on board include the enormous 14sqm beach area, which is home to a large hydraulic platform for launching and retrieving tenders and toys up to 3.6m in length. A hydraulic passarelle/swim ladder ensures easy access both to and from the dock as well as from the water. Naturally, the Wally beach area is completed by its enormous folding wings that not only increase the space by almost 50% but also deliver unobstructed 180-degree views. The full-beam master cabin is located at midships. The cabin’s ensuite is made from electrically regulated glass, meaning it can be either fully transparent to enlarge the room or opaque when in use, a first for a sub- 21 meter  yacht. In addition, the wide array of closet and storage also make this cabin unique in its class, with the side windows offering uninterrupted views of the outside. The theme continues throughout the other two guest cabins, with a total of six people accommodated on board. A VIP stateroom on the port side and a twin on the starboard side both have dedicated en-suites and large windows, enabling the rooms to be flooded by natural light. The crew are also well looked after on board the WallyWhy100. As a feature seldom seen in this size range, dedicated crew access is provided both from the main deck and from the lower deck, without having to cross into guest spaces. Notably too, taking its cue from the WallyPower world, the forward deck of the Why100 features a dedicated, multi-use lounge that can be transformed into an aperitivo area with an elevated table in the middle or into a sunlounge by lowering the table to seating height. This transformable area creates all-purpose living space for guests both at anchor and on the move. In terms of propulsion, Wally has opted for  twin Volvo 1000hp with IPS forward looking pod propulsion with cruising speeds of 24 knots and top speeds up to 27 knots in the upgraded IPS1350 specs.

Project: Wally Why150

Emerging hot on the heels of Wally’s first full-wide-body yacht, the game-changing Why200 which took the industry by storm in September 2021, the latest yacht in the WallyWhy range has been revealed by the visionary Monaco-based brand: the WallyWhy150. The Why150 was created by Wally-Ferretti Group Engineering, while Studio A. Vallicelli and C penned her interior design. Great emphasis has been given to all of her exterior areas, where the masterful use of the outdoor space allows her to offer in the sundeck a complete dining option and a bar/kitchen with grill, fridges and all the open-air living amenities at sea. Another important feature of the wallywhy150 can be found on the main deck aft, where the full-beam interior saloon is on the same level as the cockpit down to sea level, creating a close sense of connection with the water. Many of the standout design features introduced on the WallyWhy200 have also been applied to this new model. These include her full wrap-around glass on the main deck, with the high bow presenting a 270-degree view from the unique forward master cabin. First premiered to the world on board the wallywhy200, Why150 will be the first 24 meter yacht in its size range to exhibit this feature. In addition, the WallyWhy150 offers unparalleled levels of headroom in the saloon. Sporting a curved ceiling, the living area has the highest headroom in her class, reaching heights up to 2.5 metres. A versatile yacht ideal for families, couples or charter guests, onboard accommodation is for eight guests across four generous staterooms, with four crew members also housed in two large cabins. With her optional three Volvo 1000hp and IPS propulsion, the Why150 can reach a maximum speed of 23 knots, or 21 knots with the standard power of three Volvo 900hp. Set to make her world debut in Spring 2023, the first unit of the WallyWhy150 will be launched in February.

New Model: WallyPower 58

Making its first appearance during the Monaco Grand Prix, and then presented to the public during the Venice boat show at the end of May 2022, enters the WallyPower 58, an innovative evocative sport yacht from the inventor of the minimal wedged shape motor boat in 2003 with the ground breaking and daring 118 model. A natural progression and evolution of the outgoing 52 model, the WallyPower 58 as is the Wally trademark is an innovative sport yacht from aft to bow, and top to bottom. Unlike the 52 the WallyPower 58 takes design cues from the larger Wally models of the past particularly the 118 model, see air intakes in the hull sides.  The main innovation in the WallyPower 58 is the clean hull sides, with everyone going with large hull windows, Wally decides to change course and keep the lines clean with no windows, fitting in the hull two 4k cameras which show the view outside to the guests on the two; port and starboard screens mounted inside.  Other features of the WallyPower 58 are the drop down side bulwarks which double the extended aft open deck space to 25 sqm aft.  Another innovative feature is the bimini on the aft sun-pad, which comes out from a structural bottom part of the structure to sun cover guests in comfort.  Inside the WallyPower 58 is available in three versions; Guest with two cabins two heads with small saloon, Crew offering one cabin and a crew cabin to port side, and Double Saloon with one cabin with a double and two opposite saloons.  In all versions there is no galley in the lower deck, with this located to port side of the main deck opposite the starboard located helm station.  The WallyPower 58 is powered with triple Volvo IPS pod propulsion set up with three by 550hp engines as standard, and 600hp available as optional.

New Model: Wally Why200

Wally has been re-inventing the wheel since it appeared in the scene in 1994, and the new Why200 continues this formula.  Measuring and named for its 200 gross tons of volume size the Why200 can be registered under 24 meters load line length but conveys the comfort and space of a much larger displacement yacht alongside the speed advantages of a semi-displacement yacht. With naval architecture from Laurent Giles and interior design provided by Vallicelli Design Studio, the Why200 provides the space and volume benefits of a much larger super yacht thanks to its innovative full-wide-body design generating more than 200 sqm of indoor living space as well as 144 sqm of exterior decks. The breakthrough wrap-around main deck in glass provides the sensational and unprecedented owner’s suite at the bow, which takes the on board experience to a whole new level. The fold-out wings expand the beach club area with access to the sea on three sides. The two concealed garages provide unprecedented storage capacity for the yacht’s size category. Optimized for both full and semi-displacement cruising, the Why200 sits perfectly between the voluminous but slower full displacement yachts and the restricted but rapid planning yachts. The stable, beamy hull complemented by both fin and gyroscopic stabilizers, guarantees full comfort at anchor. After exhaustive testing at the Solent University’s towing tank in Southampton, UK, the hull has been optimized to deliver a comfortable experience at a wide range of speeds.

Project: Wally 27-meter Why200

 

What happens when you take the living space and lifestyle advantages of a 33-meter superyacht and fit them into a vessel that is 27 meters? The outcome is Wally’s exciting new Why200, the latest compact super yacht to come from the visionary team headed by chief designer Luca Bassani at the renowned Monegasque brand alongside Ferretti Group’s Engineering department, with naval architecture from Laurent Giles and interior design provided by A. Vallicelli & C Studio. After more than 25 years of creating some of the world’s most revolutionary yachts, Wally has turned its attention to the compact superyacht market in creating the Why200, which measures 200 gross tons and can be registered under 24 meters load line length but conveys the comfort and space of a much larger displacement yacht alongside the speed advantages of a semi-displacement yacht. By absorbing prized space conventionally used for exterior walkways into a unique, full-beam salon, the WHY200’s 61-square-meter open-plan contemporary living area is increased significantly. Being 50% larger than most salons found in the yacht’s category, the expansive space benefits from a structural central carbon fibre staircase, linking the accommodation on the lower deck to the upper deck’s stunning glass-encased sky lounge. Additionally, an informal show kitchen can be fitted as an optional layout. The numbers speak for themselves in showing why this yacht is so remarkable. The WHY200 provides more than 200 square meters of indoor living space, including a 22-square-meter upper deck interior and a 100-square-meter main deck interior. The lower deck has a typical footprint for the yacht’s length, given over to three or four double guest cabins, but the crew and service quarters have the largest capacity for the class, with the galley and three cabins for up to five crew members spread over 32 square meters. Recognizing a shift in owner preferences to reduce exposure to the elements while enjoying the outdoor environment, Wally has provided ample protection from the sun, wind and rain across its 144 square meters of exterior decks. An extended pillarless overhang above the main deck aft and flanking glass panels provide shelter to the alfresco dining and lounging area, which has unobstructed views on three sides and seamlessly flows into the main salon past sliding full-height doors. This extended overhang translates to a larger upper deck aft, too, offering space to recline on sun-loungers or sit at the shaded dining table. Through a large sliding door, guests make their way into Wally’s first enclosed bridge, encompassing the wheelhouse and sky lounge, which are stylishly encased in glass with a carbon superstructure that echoes the clean, angular aesthetic of the brand’s legendary Wallypower motor yachts. Access to the foredeck is provided through side doors in the wheelhouse. Of course, fun in and on the water is a key attraction to the yachting lifestyle, and the Why200 brings this in abundance. Fold-out wings expand the beach club area to the kind of magnitude seen on a superyacht, spanning 32 square meters with access to the sea on three sides, creating a whole new level of enjoyment at the waterline. With not one but two concealed garages, there is unprecedented storage capacity for the yacht’s size category, ingeniously stowing a four-meter tender and numerous water-toys. Beyond the lure of the enhanced living space on board, the Why200’s adaptive performance capabilities are compelling. The Why200 is the first Wally Hybrid Yacht: optimized for both full- and semi-displacement cruising, it sits perfectly between the voluminous but slower full displacement yachts and the restricted but rapid planning yachts. Combining advanced naval architecture and an adaptive multi-propulsion system, the Why200 has been designed to cruise at an impressive 20 knots in hyper displacement mode, providing more time to explore further afield and to reduce duration underway between anchorages or trips into port. And when speed is less important than efficiency, for example during relocations made by the crew, the yacht also performs economically in long-range displacement mode. In terms of naval architecture and engineering, the Why200 meets all the expectations that come with the respected Wally name. Statistically, guests spend more time on yachts when they are at anchor than underway, so a roll-free at-anchor experience is essential for comfort on board; with its stable, beamy hull complemented by both fin and gyroscopic stabilizers, the Why200 is as steady as they come. After exhaustive testing at the Solent University’s towing tank in Southampton, UK, the yacht’s functionally-led hull form has been optimized to deliver a comfortable experience at a wide range of speeds, thanks to the close collaboration between Wally, Ferretti Group Engineering and Laurent Giles naval architecture studio. And as one of the foundations for the Why200’s design concept, its Volvo pod propulsion system is central to delivering an engine room that maximizes living space on the lower deck, while also providing easy and safe manoeuvring from the helm. The Why200 will debut at the Ferretti Group Private Preview in Monaco at the beginning of September 2021.

Project: Wally 43 Wallytender

Ferretti Group has announced the latest addition to its growing offering of fast, fun and stylish luxury tenders from Wally, the 43 Wallytender. On this exciting thirteen meter model, the newly created “center cockpit” design provides all the protection of a cockpit with the practicality and access of a walk-around. Those onboard can enjoy the feeling of being in the open air with the added security and comfort usually experienced on a more enclosed yacht.  Drawing on the highlights of earlier Wallytender models, the 43 Wallytender displays an abundance of design features that make it the ultimate multipurpose performer. The result is a very fast, robust and practical runabout that is designed to be pure, simple and magnificently seaworthy, suiting uses as diverse as family day boat, superyacht tender, resort shuttle and sailing yacht support vessel. The 43 Wallytender has the capacity to carry up to twelve people at speeds in excess of 40 knots.  When creating the new model, Wally’s design team extensively consulted owners of its existing tender fleet to understand how the vessels’ various features have benefited day-to-day use. The new boat consequently fills a niche that will strike a chord with yacht owners the world over, delivering a sheltered passenger and driver experience, excellent handling, high-speed performance, generous bathroom facilities with standing headroom and separate shower compartment, a cabin with bed, and a range of deck configurations. Staying true to Wally’s distinctive style and spirit, the 43 Wallytender simultaneously drives the company’s offering in a new direction while taking inspiration from the design heritage of its best loved models of the past two decades. In particular, the similarities to early generations of Wally tenders including the Wallytender, WallyOne and 47 Wallypower are most evident. The 43 Wallytender also draws on Wally’s sailing heritage through the laminated sail mounted across the T-top’s carbon fiber superstructure. This brand’s signature solves the problem of simultaneously delivering the sensation of open-air living and providing shelter from the sun. Made from laminated sail cloth, the chic, contemporary “Wally” look of the T-top is highly practical, being lighter to reduce displacement of the vessel, and semi-transparent to allow plenty of light shining on those in the shade underneath. Developed by Wally and Ferretti Group’s technical engineering department, the 43 Wallytender is constructed in advanced composite with carbon fiber at Wally’s brand-new facilities in Forlì, Italy. As with all the brand’s tenders, the 43 Wallytender will be available in a range of head-turning colors that cannot be found elsewhere. The first unit, which is currently in production and due for completion in August 2020, has a striking iridescent green hull. The color has been dubbed “Gator Green”, in honor of the company’s first sailing yacht, Wallygator, which was also green; as the landmark yacht that initiated Wally’s illustrious history, with 2021 marking the 30th anniversary of her launch. The jewel in the 43 Wallytender’s crown is its unique “center cockpit” layout, which provides the driver and passengers with supreme protection from the elements, especially at top speeds. The wraparound glass windshield cocoons those onboard from three sides while the T-top offers shelter from above. Remarkably, the cockpit windshield’s front section has an angular bend of the single pane of glass, achieved without use of a central strut. This enhances visibility from the wheel station, with the added benefit of advancing the aesthetic of the tender reflecting the brand’s DNA to be twenty years ahead.  Alongside the protective benefits of the sheltered cockpit, thanks to the flanking walkways, passengers can enjoy convenient and safe access to the bow as well as the large sunpad on the foredeck.  Today’s yacht owners are more demanding than ever before, expecting vessels to perform a range of tasks and uses, adapting from season to season or even more frequently. The ability of the 43 Wallytender to change deck configurations as its owner’s needs vary will surely be one of its strongest appeals.  The flush, open deck space behind the cockpit coupled with the standard wings provides the ideal platform to accommodate many guests or to transport sails for a racing superyacht during a busy regatta season. The addition of a fold-out dining table, seating and raised sunbed converts the tender into a perfect family day boat, resort shuttle or yacht tender. Further storage in an optional aft sunbed creates the ultimate platform for watersports activities, with space to stow SeaBobs, wake boards, scuba diving tanks and other small water-toys. Instead of committing to a single configuration and purpose for the tender at the time of purchase, as is traditionally expected, owners of the 43 Wallytender have a full armory of accessories and features at their disposal which can be stored when not in use and then swapped in at a shipyard between seasons in just a day or two. As would be expected on a Wally yacht, the 43 Wallytender comes with a wide range of premium equipment as standard, including the carbon T-top, LED deck lighting, concealed hydraulic push-button anchor system, side-opening bulwark wings to extend the deck space, teak decking and the classic Wally wraparound fender system. Twin Volvo diesel 380hp stern drive engines with joystick control are an advantage for storage on a lift at a waterside home and give the added benefit of a shallower draft for exploration in remote areas. There is an option to upgrade to twin 440hp engines for predicted top speeds of over 40 knots.  Naturally, a number of elements on the 43 Wallytender can be customized to the owner’s needs. For instance, the carbon T-top comes as standard to offer protection from the elements but it can be eliminated should the vessel need to be stowed in a tender garage without sufficient clearance. The cockpit features bench-style seating to promote a more social environment. The yacht features a fridge and an insulated ice box locker as standard, as well as a carbon fiber swimming ladder. A second, larger fridge and ice maker are available as optional, as well as a diesel generator, air conditioning both inside and outside in the cockpit area, SeaKeeper stabilizer system and automated retractable swimming ladder/passerelle.  The all-new 43 Wallytender will be unveiled at the Cannes 2020 boat show in September.

Project: Wally 165 Wallypower

Ferretti Group and Wally are pleased to unveil the brand’s latest showstopping concept, the 165 Wallypower, which is the result of a unique collaboration between two creative geniuses whose reputations are truly stellar. For the first time, Espen Øino and Luca Bassani have creatively come together to design a fast open super sport yacht that will change the way the world sees Mediterranean cruiser yachts forever.  The 165 Wallypower is unmistakably a thoroughbred from the Wally stable, displaying performance and efficiency, an affinity with the sea and a piercing bow to effortlessly cut through waves. Inspired by the radical look of the 118 Wallypower, one of Wally’s first breakaway power boat creations, Øino took the essence of Bassani’s vision and transmuted it into this completely new category for the brand. The result is a Mediterranean cruiser that is fast, effortlessly cool and contemporary.  The 165 Wallypower is the first power super sport yacht concept to be released by Wally since it became a part of Ferretti Group this year, and its innovative nature is testament to why the two major yachting brands are so well aligned. The essence of any Wally is its innovation and power to surprise. As a category that has seen a lack of modernization over the decades, the fast open yacht market was ripe for an overhaul. Owners wanting a modern, medium-range Mediterranean cruising yacht to take them quickly and comfortably between glamorous destinations need look no further.  Øino’s 165 Wallypower concept incorporates features that are distinctively “Wally”, and previously unseen on Mediterranean yachts: uncluttered lines and open decks with a sharp, angular look; a large interior volume made possible through smart naval architecture and design; a sprawling outdoor space with natural flow to the interior for an “indoor-outdoor” lifestyle; and a sense of always being close to the water. The 50-metre superyacht has a tonnage of 499 GT, yet offers a superior feeling of space and many elements typically expected on a larger vessel. The 165 Wallypower’s standout features are plentiful, in particular the owner’s stateroom location on the main deck, providing privacy and space not usually afforded to owners of yachts this length. A further four ensuite guest cabins are found on the lower deck, alongside the crew and service area towards the bow.  Amidships on the main deck is a large saloon and dining area with double fold-down balconies, leading seamlessly to an outdoor dining space and swimming pool flanked by large sunpads. Port and starboard staircases take guests to the water’s edge with a beach club featuring U-shaped seating and large, fold-down bulwarks to extend the deck beyond the sides of the hull.  Typical of Wally’s signature look, railings and deck equipment are kept to a minimum, giving a sense of space and serenity. Glass replaces solid exterior bulwarks where possible, to maximize the feeling of closeness to the water, and tenders are stored in a concealed garage beneath the foredeck, which is uncluttered and vast.  The sundeck extends a full fifteen meters, unheard of on a yacht of this size and type. At the top of the staircase from the glass-encased bridge, a large raised settee offers an excellent vantage point for owners and guests while underway, and a central U-shaped bar is fully protected from the elements by a large hardtop and high glass bulwarks. A wide sunpad to the aft of the sundeck commands near-panoramic views of the water for the perfect relaxation spot. The 165 Wallypower delivers the assured seakeeping that one would expect of a Wally yacht. Slamming is the bane of many an owner’s life when it comes to fast open yachts but, thanks to the exceptional naval architecture expertise put to use in the superior hull form of the 165 Wallypower, it pierces the water effortlessly without a bump or roll.  With diesel engines and waterjet propulsion, the planing 165 Wallypower is expected to be capable of reaching 30 knots, making it the perfect way hop between Monaco and St Tropez or tour the coast of Sardinia, for example.

Project: WallyAce 500

Announced as the WallyAce D-47 during the Monaco yacht show 2018 this new project of the 500 continues to push the boundaries of yachting design.  Nothing new from Wally many will say.  The WallyAce 500 project is a three deck super yacht which puts a new meaning to open spaces, and glazed surfaces.  The way the exterior areas and the glassed surfaces are used being more akin to a modern villa then a super yacht. Technical wise little is known of this project but expect similar performances to the WallyAce 26 which featured a full displacement hull with cruising speeds of nine knots.

New Model: Wally 26M Ace

A much awaited Wally concept, the 26M Ace finally takes it to the water.  Starting as builder of fast sailing yachts in the nineties, Wally quickly got high attention with the one off 2002 launched 118 Power in the motor yachting World, which was followed with smaller sized units, and a lot of copies from other builders which are still born to this day. Will the 26 M Ace have the same affects on the market.  The number for it to surprise are surely there thanks to its efficient hull design, high level sandwich construction with double thickness to Class requirements, an extra ten per cent of beam to similar sized yachts giveing one third of more volume, and an innovative hull design featuring the new Wallybow bulb shape.  Other surprises are also the layout of the interior which takes an unusual shape thanks to the centre forward location of the engine room, which moves all the guest accommodation from midships to aft.  The choice here is for two layouts, a three cabins with large queen sized owners stateroom, or a four cabins version with three near identical sized VIP suites.   The two crew cabins sleeping four in bunk berths, plus galley and lazarette, crew lobby is located in the forward part.  Power is from twin 600hp Cat engines which give a max speed of 12 knots, and a cruise of 9 knots which give an estimated 5000 nautical miles range.
