Latest Wally Designs...

Nice- I am currently involved with a live project redesigning the interior of the princess flybridge 67- for the charter industry. Any information on what the needs of the user are- and how i could adapt the layout to incorporate these would be much appreciated.

Im trying hard to find any nice lines in this design, the Wally 118 was innovative and fresh with edgy lines , will for sure be a future classic. But this...looks like they do not exactly now which foot they want to stay on.
The soft or the edgy one?

Agreed. I like what they've done with the 90fter. Even the interior looks a bit more usable (due to a much smaller engine room ).

Back to the 70 for a sec if I can, the "continuous duty" in that last paragraph means Wide Open Thottle then?
If thats the case, is it unusual that they have quoted the vessels cruising speed as 45kts, the same as it top speed?
Impressive range at this speed btw.

Offcorse the 118 do not sell with its crazy high fuel consumtion but
the design was fantastic.
I think they loosing their "edge" and image when softing it.

Ok, after a bit of searching, I've found a way to source a few pictures of the Wally Power yachts that are high enough resolution to be able to make them into decent desktop wallpapers.

I've taken the liberty of uploading them to a Webshots account for easy access if anyone else would like them.

Wally has recently posted news reporting that they have tank tested their 55m Wallypower design. Confirming their calculations.

From Wally....

"The results of the tank testing conducted at SSPA facility in Goteborg, Sweden, confirm that the hull shape of the mega yacht 55m WallyPower developed by WallyDesign© department, is the most efficient design of this size range yachts.
The excellent hydrodynamic characteristics of the 55m WallyPower provide for less fuel consumption, more speed, softer ride, and more comfort."

I've provided a picture of the yacht for referance, because I was wondering if this design could be more efficient than a bubble bow?
Their statement of "the most efficient design of this size range" is pretty bold and doesn't seem to make any exceptions.
If it is more efficient that potentialy means better efficiency/speed than a bubble, with the ride comfort that sharp upwright bow should provide.

In effect, the Holy Grail.

For the full report.....

very nice, it will be very interesting to see this vessel built....it is a nice and daring design.

Does anyone have seen the movie "The Island"? They show a Wally Power 118 on the beginning and on the end of the movie. Very nice

The Island

Yes very interesting this boat features quite strongly in the movie,

One of the main charachters is a yacht/product designer! As with many of the hollywood movies today there was a lot of product placement, but I wonder if they paid Wally or the other way around....

maybe the other way around.
