Wally has a busy 2011 calendar attending a total of 8 Superyacht Regattas and Boat Shows during the 2011 yachting season. The regattas include Palmavela, The Nespresso Cup, The Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, The Giraglia Rolex Cup, The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, Les Voiles de Saint Tropez and the two boat shows include the Cannes Boat Show, and the Monaco Yacht Show.
The calendar opens with the Wally Class first appointment of the racing season: Palmavela, a four-day competition that runs from April 21-24, organised by the Real Club Nautico of Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
The Wally racing fleet will then gather in Portofino, Italy, from 6 to 8 May for the Nespresso Cup, the only regatta exclusively for the Wally Class.
The Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta is held in June 7-11 in Porto Cervo, Italy, and organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda.
The Giraglia Rolex Cup is the classic offshore race of the Med season. The start is in St Tropez on Wednesday June 15, and finishes in Genoa after sailing 245 miles and the round of the Giraglia rock, north of Corsica.
After the summer cruise, the Wally Class will return to Porto Cervo for the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup that runs from September 4-10, one of the most spectacular super yacht regatta in the world.
Wally will exhibit at the Cannes Boat Show, September 7-12, with several boats of the Wallypower range that will be available for sea trial.
A large display of yachts is scheduled also at the Monsco Yacht Show (September 21-24), the most important event in the World for large yachts.
Les Voiles de Saint Tropez (September 25-October 2) ends the Wally Class racing season with its unique gathering of classic and modern yachts in the old harbour of the glamorous French town.
