Wally has announced the signing of the order for a third wallycento.
Work on the new superyacht has already begun at British yard Green
Marine, with delivery scheduled for June 2015.
According to the yard it was the convincing debut of 30.5m WallyCento's Hamilton and Magic Carpet3 duelling on the race course that persuaded a passionate American owner to join the club of the innovative box-ruled super yachts: the wallycento third unit was recently signed and the construction is under way. “The Wally Class and the wallycento class successful competitiveness attracted the new owner who is a keen sailor and racer, determined to participate in all our regattas, as well as to cruise in the Mediterranean," explained Luca Bassani, Wally and Wally Class President.
Developed by Reichel Pugh naval architects with the exterior styling and interiors by Wally, the third wallycento differs from Magic Carpet3, designed by the same design duo, in many aspects both technical and stylistic. She features different hull lines with a rig that has been balanced accordingly. She has one rudder versus the two of Magic Carpet3. The shaft line is mechanical, whilst remaining retractable. On deck, the new design has been applied to the deckhouse and the coaming that is completely covered by teak to be integrated into the rest of the deck, resulting even slimmer. Inside, the layout and the styling are very similar to those of Magic Carpet3, but the galley has been moved to the port side and the crew cabin to the starboard side to avoid any interference of the access to the engine room with the meal preparation. Furthermore, the new wallycento is the first to feature the bow thruster, enhancing the cruising capability of this class of superyachts.
“The sale of the wallycento third unit confirms the success of the formula” said Bassani. “We are confident to further expand the fleet of these superyachts, that share similar high performance to increase the closeness of the racing and the competitive level while remaining very comfortable and fully equipped cruising yachts.”
Work on the new build is well underway and the delivery of the male plug to Green Marine has already taken place. The lamination of the female mould on the male plug is scheduled for January 2014, and the lamination of the hull around mid February 2014.
