Projects: WallyPower 85 M, WallyPower 85 M Tradition

Two new Super Yachts projects came out from the drawing board of Wally, the department dedicated to the design and styling based on proven concepts of the renowned status symbol Italian firm. The new 85M projects will offer two different versions, both of which reflecting features which are unique and marked characteristics of the yachts developed by Wally like the vertical bow increasing performance with comfort in all sea conditions, higher hulls offering more protection, and increased interior volumes which combined with the lower superstructures provide for a sleeker profile. The new proportion hull deckhouse, results in a sheer line that is an unquestionable mark of style and elegance. The barycentre has been moved lower, increasing stability. The unique shape of the hull provides for wider decks than those usually found in the yachts of similar size, whilst keeping the same beam at the water line and therefore the same performance. Once again, design works alongside function. Transparency and view are the key points of the superstructure design with large glass windows that flood the interiors with natural light, and generate plays of light and perspective angles to fully enjoy the outside view while seated, standing up or laying down. Wally’s R&D includes the hiding of the antennas, SatComs and all the other devices of radio-communications that are aesthetically unpleasing. One cabin is dedicated to these systems facilitating the maintenance and limiting the possibility of damage during navigation. The 118 Wally Power has fully demonstrated how aesthetics and style benefit from this solution. The 85m WallyPower comes in two different versions: standard 85M, and the 85M Tradition for those who like a more conservative design and styling.
