The Wally 50m sailing yacht is a blue-water sloop that combines all the comforts and amenities of a megayacht with the renowned Wally performance and ease of handling. In order to increase the yachts performance she will feature a lifting keel that increases the draft from 4.2 metres to six metres when sailing, PBO rigging, and water tanks that will double as water ballasts.
As a result, the 50m Wally superyacht features a light displacement of only 230 tons – 485,017 lbs combined with the modern comforts and amenities of a luxury megayacht.
The 50m Wally yacht features a deckhouse with 360° of transparent glass providing guests with amazing panoramic views and a feeling of space when they are in the salon.

It is estimated that in winds of eight knots the Wally 50m yacht will achieve 11 knots upwind and 14 knots reaching. In 20 knots of true wind she will increase performance to 14 upwind and 20 reaching.
The Wally 50m is propelled by a self-tacking jib for easy handling and a diesel-electric system used to improve energy management while providing a more efficient layout and reducing consumption, noise and vibration. Power for propulsion and services comes from three diesel generators. Other features of the Wally 50m are the two separate engine rooms for safety and the Wally anchor-system.
The construction of the MCA classified Wally 50m sail yacht uses the latest advanced composite technology with pre-preg carbon. The superyacht is being built at the Wally Europe facility in Fano, Italy, and the delivery is scheduled for 2011.
