The convincing premiere of sailing yacht Hamilton as well as luxury yacht Magic Carpet3, duelling on the race course, persuaded an American passionate Owner to join the club of the innovative box-ruled super yachts: the third WallyCento yacht has been recently signed and is currently under construction.

“The Wally Class and the wallycento Class successful competitiveness attracted the new Owner” explains Luca Bassani, Wally and Wally Class President “who is a keen sailor and racer, determined to participate in all our regattas, as well as to cruise in the Mediterranean.”
Developed by Reichel Pugh naval architects with the exterior styling and interiors by Wally, the third wallycento superyacht differs from Magic Carpet3 yacht, designed by the same architect duo, in many aspects both technical and stylistic.
She features different hull lines with a rig that has been balanced accordingly. She has one rudder versus the two of Magic Carpet3. The shaft line is mechanical, whilst remaining retractable. On deck, the new design has been applied to the deckhouse and the coaming that is completely covered by teak to be integrated into the rest of the deck, resulting even slimmer.

Inside, the layout and the styling are very similar to those of superyacht Magic Carpet3, but the galley has been moved to the port side and the crew cabin to the starboard side to avoid any interference of the access to the engine room with the meal preparation. Furthermore, the new wallycento is the first to feature the bow thruster, enhancing the cruising capability of this class of super yachts.
“The sale of the wallycento third unit confirms the success of the formula” says Bassani “We are confident to further expand the fleet of these super yachts, that share similar high performance to increase the closeness of the racing and the competitive level while remaining very comfortable and fully equipped cruising yachts.”
“Cruising in comfort at the speed of the fastest maxi racer and racing at the highest level of competition is the dream of every passionate yachtsman –continues Bassani– wallycento is the first and only super yacht making this dream come true. By keeping the boats very similar in size and concept, the wallycento Class offers closer racing within a narrow rating range.”
The construction of wallycento #3 yacht has already started at Green Marine, UK with the delivery of the male plug, while the lamination of the female mould on the male plug is scheduled in January, and the lamination of the hull around mid February. The launching is set for June 2015.
The sale of the wallycento #3 yacht marks a great ending of the year for Wally, that is currently building an array of motor boats recently signed, including the 26m wallyace, 73 wallypower, 55 wallypower, 47 wallypower, Wallyone.
