I enjoy reading posts by people for whom English is not the first language. It's fun!

You would think the same of my efforts in your language too I would suspect.

And I will never correct your English unless it's a matter of grammar or errors in spelling.

I am a HUGE fan of Wally, their work is futuristic and individualistic.
Here's what i want them to do. Design me a sailing catamaran, 50-60' in Wally's true design manner and colours with all their great idea's.
Anyone out there bold enough/talented enough to try and sketch one and post it?

Thanks

Hi, I am a little surprised they haven´t done a multihull already. But I would think their concept of easy handling points to a trimaran, rather than a cat.

I made a fast concept à la Wally, with a winged mast and wave-piercing sponsons and hope they don´t mind...

AMG, i knew that you may have a solution for me...show me more please.
I want details etc if you have please. I am thinking interiors a-la Azimut 86s and Wally put together etc. Thansk again

AMG · 05-05-2005, 04:34 AM

I have no details, as I made it right now, but probably a length of 60-120 feet and I could also think of a splitted boom with a double main-sail, butterfly style for downwind sailing.

Interior as you say, clean geometrical shapes in an open plan.

Well my design is not exactly Wally material, but it does have some (forward) thinking ideas. I imagine it could be Wally-ized.

I don't know what everyone sees in these Wally things?

The salon looks like a corporate boardroom. The aft deck looks like the
staging area for paratroopers on a C-5 Galaxy. The deck looks like it
would have more wetted surface than Florida after a hurricane. The
intake nacelles looks like somebody forgot to stow the fenders. And with
a $24 million price tag, this Italian attempt at stealth should prove
successful... because I doubt you'll ever see one!

Stick a mast on that thing!

Well, personally i love it, but it's a taste thing, no more, no less, but i fully understand your view, which is part of its appael; it's a "you love it or you hate it" thing.
What i absolutely dislike about it is the absurd amount of fuel it uses...

Personally, i would be VERY happy with one of their tenders

As >tantetruus< has written, its your choice to love or hate this thing, cause it looks not similar to other designs.
But it is possible now, to build a rc-model of the 118. Powered by two big jets (40mm) and E-motors: www.schiffsrumpf.de
So you can drive your jetmodel with "similar to Wallydesign" for small money, sitting on the deck of a usual yacht...

tantetruus · 07-12-2005, 01:49 PM

uh, love it!

Guys, I merged the thread from "Jet Yachts" into the "Latest Wally Designs". Sorry for any confusion, but it's important that we keep theads on the right subject and under the appropriate title.

You'll appreciate this in the future when you perform a "search" for specific information. It makes a BIG difference.

Thanks for understanding.

Great googly moogly! I want one!!

I can't read a lick of German (despite the family name) so could anyone translate the basic details please?
