THE NEW WALLYWIND110 MAKES HER WORLD DEBUT AT MONACO YACHT SHOW 2024

The first sailing yacht in Wally’s new wallywind collection, Galma, debuted at Monaco Yacht Show 2024 (25-28 September). The jaw-dropping wallywind110 is the largest to have been delivered since the Ferretti Group took the helm at Wally, and she is evidence of the company’s commitment to sailing with a second hull already in build.

Naturally, the wallywind110 is built in carbon fibre composite, a material which Wally introduced to the sailing world and in which it still excels. High modulus carbon spars and rigging combine with her minutely optimised judel/vrolijk & co hull to produce exhilarating cruising capabilities and trophy-winning race potential – all with a minimal crew. The metallic blue hull shimmers a different colour depending on the sunlight.

Delivering the outdoor life
The cockpit area alone sets her above much larger yachts. More than 80 square metres of astonishingly comfortable sofas, sunbeds and informal dining can be configured in different ways according to the owner’s needs. The space is completely unencumbered by the sailing controls, which are all concentrated aft. Even under way, guests can sit back and enjoy the sail without lifting a finger. And unlike many large sailing boats, the cockpit itself has no steps – it is a single, vast expanse of flush decking all the way aft to the sunbeds.

What’s more, this guest cockpit is incredibly well equipped. On Galma, there are fridges cleverly hidden here, so it is no longer necessary to call down to the galley below for refreshment – just take what you want!

Another Wally trademark is the sleek, low profile that the boat presents from the side. She gives the impression of a totally flush deck with almost no coach roof to interrupt the lines. “The cockpit is deep, but you don’t see this from outside the boat,” explained Wally Founder and Chief Designer Luca Bassani. “It helps to conceal the coachroof, giving the impression of a flush-decked yacht. In reality, the wallywind110 has all the benefits of a raised saloon without any of the aesthetic drawbacks.”

There is a foredeck lounge area, but the pick of the outdoor relaxing space is Wally’s famous terrace-on-the-sea at the stern. This is one of the stand-out features that have made the brand famous, and on the wallywind110, it delivers a stunning social centre right on the water. Lounge, chat or watch a water sports session unfold.

Thrilling performance
Like all Wally yachts, the wallywind110 has been designed and engineered to perform at the very top of her potential. She is no stripped-down racer, bereft of the comforts of the yachting life, but rather an eye-wateringly capable hybrid that combines speed with ease of handling and relaxed living.

Twin rudders and a carefully designed hull make for ample responsiveness on the helm. The standard 4.50m keel (lifting option 4.50m – 6.80m) is set against a 635 square meter upwind sail plan for tremendous power, carefully controlled (as an option, the square top mainsail can be chosen, which increases the sail area by approximately 30 square metres). And the boat can deploy an astonishing spread of 1,296 square meters downwind for scintillating racing or fast passage times.
