The luxury yacht manufacturer is due to launch a new boat in 2023, the new Wally 101 inspired by the well-respected Wallycento design ruleWally has sold its first new sailing yacht since the buy-out by Ferretti in 2019 \u2013 a 101-footer inspired by the Wallycento box-rule design, called the Wally 101.
\nThe fully custom carbon racer displaces just 56.4 tonnes, much of which lies in the keel. It will bristle with technology, including double low- and high-pressure hydraulic systems for faster sail handling, a lifting keel and retractable prop. This last is estimated to reduce drag by 5%, giving a 10-second edge for each mile sailed.
\nFor all that, the Wally 101 is also described as a family-friendly boat, which retains Wally\u2019s original ethos. A Magic Trim system allows the boat to be sailed with a minimal crew, and she offers comfortable dining in the cockpit, or sunbathing aft.
\nFounder Luca Bassani describes the yacht as \u201cflying the flag for the planet\u201d. The claim rests on the Judel\/Vrolijk-designed hull being very easily driven, making 18-20 knots in cruising mode, but exceeding wind speed even in light airs. Delivery is scheduled for spring 2023.
