After the launch of the 64 the past Summer, Wally continues to upgrade its Power range with projects for a 125, and a 55 designed to stand between the 64 and 47. Wally Power range has so far launched 6 models in the range including the deceased 70 replaced in 2007 by the 73, and has 8 other model in project stages including the WallyIsland 99 metre Super Yacht. The 125 Power, look similar outside to the 118 first model of this successful range, but offers much then sees the eye differences with a more comfortable 4 cabin interior, a sport bridge above the hardtop, and a more economic performance. Power is from twin MTU 16v4000 M93L 4615hp which will give a 42 knots max, 35 knots cruising, and an economic cruise of 30 knots giving a range of 600 nautical miles.
The new WallyPower 55 completes the power range filling the gap between the 47 and the recently launched 64. The 55 model introduces the full-open concept: the boat is super sporty and aggressive featuring a huge windscreen that replaces the hard top, and surrounds the entire cockpit area. The innovative propulsion system is made of four engines Volvo D6 of 435hp each, coupled with the IPS600 to offer great manoeuvrability, and 30% increased performance together with 20% increased range. The predicted max speed is over 40 knots. The cockpit features two comfortable and symmetrical seating and relaxing areas, one on each side, completely sheltered by the windscreen, which if desired can can be covered by a bimini or by a hard top as an optional, sheltering the open areas from the sun. The vast aft “beach” of approx 10 squared metres offers a Terrace-on-the-sea feeling. Another innovation is the immense hydraulic retractable aft passerelle, that serves as boarding platform and swimming ladder depending on the position, like the one of the 118. This also serves also to handle and lift onboard a jet ski from the water. The interior layout features a salon, two or three cabins with en-suites depending the choice, a galley, and a crew cabin with en-suite. The WallyPower 55 is built in the new yard specialised in the production, located in Forlì, Italy and the first unit will be launched in the summer of this year.

New Model: Magnum 70 Lazzarini Pickering
Magnum launched its new 70, hull number 011, at the end of February. The boat, designed by the famous architects Lazzarini Pickering, is a big departure and turn around from the standard Magnum 70. She has no portholes but, instead, is outfitted with large skylights made of a special glass to bring enormous amounts of light into the cabin. These skylights automatically tint according to the amount of sun hitting them at any one time. This was designed in order to keep the interiors cool regardless of the sun’s position or strength, and to keep a comfortable temperature inside without the use of air-conditioning, thereby saving energy, something Magnum is committed to. This technology has been available for quite some time in the eyeglass market but it is the first time it has been used on a yacht. Other news is the central radar arch which extends a sun protection awning when desired, and the lines of the windshield have also been softened up versus the previous Pininfarina design. The boat, which has two cabins and a large master suite, was built for a private client who will enjoy her in the Mediterranean this summer. Equipped with the 2000 series MTU engines, each producing 2400hp, the new Magnum 70 runs approximately 61 knots in many sea states which normally keeps other boats in harbour, let alone touch high speeds. The owner bought her for the seaworthy Magnum trademark so that he could cross the Med in security far from land with absolutely no fear for his safety or that of his family.

Project: Morgan 33 Dinghy
Morgan presents its new entry level boat project, the 33 Dinghy which will be launched during the coming Summer. It is an open, almost 10 meters in length, inaugurating a new range of traditional boats called Dinghies, present alongside the Lobster and the Fast Commuters. The 33 Dinghy is a support vessel for both sailing and motor Super Yachts addressing the need of the owner and guests to move quick with a roomy agile boat, but it also proposes itself also as an elegant and dynamic day cruiser. The Aicon Group Morgan Style Center is responsible for the design of the Dinghy 33, whereas the hull was designed by Alfredo Magazzù. In keeping with the Morgan philosophy, the new model succeeds to maintain the founding characteristics of the models of the range unchanged, combining classic taste, seafaring technology, and high performance. On the one hand, the use of the best essences of wood and the most precious fabrics render it unique; on the other, the design of the hull, planned to guarantee maximum stability and smooth sailing even in moderate sea. The helm console, positioned at the center of the boat, is equipped with sophisticated instruments and a hi-fi stereo system including an iPod player. It is covered by an elegant roll bar with canopy, under which, behind the double seater command post, a small galley with stove, sink and bar with fridge can be found. Immediately behind it, in the center of the stern sundeck, there is a five person c-shaped settee with a folding dining table. From the sundeck, it is easy to get into the water thanks to the stern staircase that access to the bathing platform that becomes a real terrace on sea. The surface of the sundeck continues on towards bow and it is protected by a wooden handrail that allows for safe cruising even at high speeds. In this area, below deck, there is a cabin with V-positioned twin beds which can be converted at need into a queen-size bed, equipped with two wardrobes. The bathroom, is located under the center console, with access from the ample hatch at bow of the same console. The 33 Dinghy is equipped with two 190hp stern drive engines, which allow it to reach a cruising speed of 32 knots and a maximum of 38 knots. For those who want more speeds, a twin Yamaha 250hp outboard option is available pushing the small Morgan to a maximum speed of 45 knots. The Dinghy 33 is available with the entire new Morgan 2009 ten color range and a Sport Fishing Kit is also available transforming it into a sport fisherman, without losing any of the unmistakable elegance of the small Morgan traditional cruiser.
