How come that the most avantgarde company in the whole yachting business doesn´t have the most advanced website in the biz? My guess is that they are already beyond that. That they, as little as anyone don´t like to wait for these board-room presentations to load. Today you can not even go in to certain web-sites with a dial-up-modem.

I have to say that I think Wally are at the forefront even here, a nice layout, top quality pictures (that you can download), easy and fast navigation and a content covering just about every question you can have.

Let´s hope this is deliberate and that this "evolution" will continue to others, because frankly, and I am a very calm person, but eventhough I have a very fast connection I just quit many of the flash-sites instead of waiting for those young web-gurus latest inventions to load...

My applauds to Wally!

My applauds to Lars! Well said.

The Wally sailing boats have created a trend and I am sure the power boats will as well. I have used some of their lines on a couple of my designs, as well as I have found some of mine on theirs...

I think I was a little ahead of time with my 118´ from 1994, only that I did not have the means to build it...

That is awesome!! Some of the cleanest lines I've ever seen. Modern but not so "out there" as the Wallys. Great job and I hope you find a builder. I would buy it.

Thanks Catmando! Before you sign on the dotted line, you can have a look inside..

Thanks for the link.

Is there room for a turbine between the diesels? I gotta have more SPEEEEEEEEED!!

More speed? Isn´t 50 knots enough for you, then take a look at this link;

As on that 50 m yacht, my recipe would be two gasturbines on straight waterjets and a centre diesel over a steerable jet. This is weightsaving (compared to the usual 2 diesel and 1 turbine) and you will have a good combination for both fast runs, longer trips at an economic and still decent speed and for harbour use.

The Wally 118 has three gasturbines over waterjets, the central straight and the two outer steerable. They have also a subsystem where two small diesels are working through (?) the outer waterjets for harbour use.

If you have my 118´built, we will see what system will be the best...

But in general, I would not recommend to go more than 50 knots with yachts over 100 feet. The structural stress is immense and the cost of light weight construction is also immense...

I like the Volante's powertrain, but for 15kn that diesel better be big...say a Paxman of 3500hp or so? I didn't know the Wally 118 had those little diesels. What are they, Yanmar 370s or so? Maybe I'll check the site for the info.

catmando · 03-29-2005, 06:17 PM

Hey I was right! Yanmar 370s!!

What do you say about this one? http://www.wally.com/Upload/5/55-m-05_pop.jpg I think it`s looks much more terrible than the other wally yachts.

jonstinton · 04-18-2005, 11:48 AM

I have to say, from a designers point of view... that is an architectural stunner! I have not seen this design before. Beautiful!

Kevin · 04-18-2005, 05:08 PM

Definitely awesomeness! Both that design, and the 70m are two yachts I'd LOVE to see get made one day.

"Much more terrible" ROFL

That yacht screams out "BUILD ME BUILD ME"!!!

catmando · 04-18-2005, 06:02 PM

Lars the more I think about 2 turbines/1 diesel the better I like it for the big boats. A much faster combination if one has to run from weather or, Neptune forbid, PIRATES!

AMG · 04-18-2005, 06:33 PM

Yes, it is called Lateral Thinking....

SAB · 04-18-2005, 09:18 PM

cool stuff indeed! ... a nice high volume displacement design from Wally; I love all the light entering into the hull living spaces. Its mysterious that look... with all the glass supporting the sundecks

I know, it`s the wrong expression, but i don`t know what to say if i don`t say more terrible. Of course it looks good, but the other wally yachts are much more beautiful.
