Experience the Thrill of the Wallywind110 Yacht

Sailing enthusiasts who crave the exhilaration of a powerful performer beneath their feet should mark their calendars for late August. The Wallywind110 yacht, recently completed, will be slicing through the stunning waters of Sardinia. This is a unique opportunity to witness her sails trimmed, her crew deftly handling the vessel, and to gain insight into Wally’s innovative approach to cruiser-racers.

A New Addition to the Wallywind Series

The Wallywind110 is hull number two in the Wallywind110 series, following the debut of the yacht Galma last year. Both yachts share the expertise of Judel/Vrolijk & Co. in naval architecture, a hallmark of Wally’s commitment to performance, particularly in regattas. Wally yachts are renowned for their clean, uncluttered decks, and the Wallywind110 is no exception. As Luca Basani, Wally’s founder and chief designer, articulated during the series introduction, “The Wallywind110 is not just a superyacht that promises impressive performance.” Instead, he emphasizes that “Wally has always been synonymous with both performance and design.”

The yacht features a flush-deck profile reminiscent of raceboats, while the expansive 861-square-foot (80-square-meter) cockpit is designed for owners and guests to enjoy the ride or relax at anchor. All sail-handling operations take place at the aft, ensuring that crew members and guests can coexist comfortably without interference.

Design and Performance: Similarities and Differences

At 110 feet (33.4 meters), the Wallywind110 shares several characteristics with its predecessor, Galma, yet also boasts distinct differences. Both yachts are constructed from carbon composite, ensuring durability and performance. The styling and interiors are crafted by the renowned Santa Maria Magnolfi studio, inviting guests to unwind and indulge in the luxurious sailing lifestyle.

One of the standout features of the Wallywind110 is its “sea terrace,” a spacious beach area that allows an owner’s party of eight to bask in the sun between the cockpit and the terrace. However, the design and performance aspects diverge in several ways. The interior of the Wallywind110 reflects a lighter color scheme, enhancing the sense of space and openness. While Galma features a well-stocked bar in the saloon, the Wallywind110 offers a multi-use workspace, catering to the needs of modern sailors. Additionally, the VIP stateroom includes a sliding bed, providing flexibility and comfort. Notably, the Wallywind110 is equipped with a telescopic keel, while Galma has a fixed keel, further differentiating the two vessels.

A Testament to Wally’s Vision

Wally’s commitment to innovation is evident in the construction of the Wallywind110. Remarkably, the second hull was built on spec while Galma was still under construction, showcasing Wally’s confidence in the series and its design philosophy.
