Completed and released from its female hull at Green Marine is the first 30.48m (100ft) Wally Cento superyacht. Following this, the striking Judel & Vrolijk designed black hull was turned upside down and moved into one of the four 38m build ovens commissioned not long ago by Green Marine’s new facility in Hythe, UK. The sailing yacht Wally Cento was constructed to a very high specification using materials and processes that are normally applied for Grand Prix racing yachts.

The Wally Cento yacht owner’s representative James Stagg and Green Marine’s project manager Simon Smith were very pleased with the way this important project milestone was achieved.
Simon Smith: “We are working on a very tight schedule to complete this Cento on time and launch it in July 2012. Every single task is planned and monitored on a daily basis. Our experienced team of boat builders have delivered another top quality product on time.” James Stagg added: “The team here have had their work cut out with an aggressive structural fit out schedule. They have managed to meet the key milestone of fitting the deck and rolling over on time – this was no mean feet and we are very happy with the workmanship.”
The superyacht Wally Cento will now be faired outside while the boat builders carry on installing secondary structures inside the hull. Marcel Müller, Managing Director of Green Marine, said: “All our build ovens have the extraction system and air filtration of a spray booth. This way we can provide the optimal and safe work environment for both teams working on the boat. The fact that we can cure the paint system and laminates at any time during this process will save us precious time.”
The system and interior fit out will start before Christmas. This Green Marine high performance racer-cruiser is built under the WALLY Cento class rules. As the first boat of its class hitting the water it will be the pace setter for this new generation of exiting and extremely power full race yachts.
