The Wally 85M project is certainly a looker. Any fans of the 118 and the 67 would love this concept. I only wish that they would build it for real. She has the same fast and futuristic look that is bred by Wally and is clearly a mixture of the bigger Wally Motoryachts with a few modifications and changes.

For more, there are 3 nice pics on the Wally website. As well as a nice stats write up on the supposed vessel. A length of 85M and a Beam of 14.5M. Maximum speed of 18kts. Hull 'will' be made of steel and the superstructure, Aluminum.

And my doesn't this other one look familiar? http://www.wally.com/jumpCh.asp?idUser=0&idChannel=174&idLang=IT&attivo =4

Speaking on the same Wally 85M project.. There is some interesting writeup now on the Wally website. There is better knowledge to be gained on the project from the writeup.

I am not convinced this is the right way of selling an 85 meter yacht? Perhaps of marketing Wally as a design resource of such big yachts, but 85 m is a yacht the size of Kingdom 5KR where people would like to make their own statements, not buying from the shelf..?

Let´s hope I am wrong, because both designs are worth to be built!

Yes AMG, i was hoping for a ling timt that they would put into production, the Wally 90 but i guess that never happened and she remained as a project all this time.

I hope that the 85M does not go the same route and remain a nice background or screensaver for our desktops.
