Tango, the latest Wallycento superyacht, unveiled in Monaco
Turin, September 26, 2017 - Tango, the fourth unit of the highly competitive Wallycento fleet, is premiered today at the Yacht Club de Monaco, showing off all her splendour. Launched at Persico Marine facility in the Ligurian west coast, at the beginning of August, and delivered to her passionate owner two weeks ago, the superyacht is getting ready for the racing debut in the Wally Class at the Les Voiles de Saint Tropez, 30 September-8 October.
Overview
“Tango truly reflects the Wally cruiser-racer DNA: beautiful and super-fast!” declares Luca Bassani, Wally President. “She is a further step forward in the evolution of the high performance superyachts, benefitting from the previous Wallycento units experience, Open Season in 2012, Magic Carpet 3 in 2013 and Galateia in 2015, and she will raise the bar in the racing circuit increasing the technological and performance levels of these incredible racer-cruisers.”
Tango interiors by Pininfarina
The interiors of Tango carry the signature of Pininfarina, as the spaces carry the unmistakable sign made of sportiness and elegance. A hallmark built during more than 85 years creating icons of Beauty.
The nautical division worked as a unique team with Wally, Mark Mills and Persico Marine to reach the same goal: a perfect balance between performance and comfort and a highinside-outside consistency. The challenge was to develop outstanding ultra-light interiors that would match the superyacht DNA.
THE CONCEPT
Horizontal surfaces - like the sea waves - shape the space creating functionalelements with a strong aesthetic appeal. Structural and visual lightness.
THE AREAS
The Saloon
It’s the most iconic space, characterized by the suspendedstairs, having both a functional and an aestheticvalue. The steps in fact, like waves, continueon the walls giving life to shelvesresulting in a dynamic environment as the sea surface. The comfort is offered by large and comfortable sofas characherized by elegant lines and a sporty flavour coming from the red steam as in the car seats. The master cabin and the master head.
The design concept is applied to all the other areas. In the master cabin the horizontal surfaces give life to the bed; in the master head to the sink and the shower. The result is an elegant and essential environment characterized by seamless surfaces.
THE MATERIALS
The materials play a fundamental role. The use of carbonfiber allows to keep the yacht light and, at the same time, conveys a sporty appeal. The wood and the leather, in contrast, offer elegance and warmth to the enviroment. The technical materials used for the floor increase the grip enahncing the performing character of the interiors. Effect conveyed also by the contrast between dark and light colors.
"Tango was a challenge: to be innovative in a dream team of innovators. Starting with Wally, an icon in designing the future of yachting” affirmed Paolo Pininfarina, Chairman of the Group. “Thanks to the selection of the materials and the innovative solutions of the interior decoration delivering both function and aesthetics, we generated a ultra-light and super performing yacht, perfectly suitable for cruising as well as for racing. A real sea Fuoriserie, a new jewel, setting a new standard in the yachting sector.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The sea-trials are still underway and the first impressions are convincing: “I sailed Tango in six-seven knots of wind and she proved to be lively and reactive even in the light air” reports Luca Bassani “The feeling at the helm is that of a much smaller boat, very balanced and quick. Excellent visibility from the steering position. The manoeuvring is comfortable thanks to the new flush-deck style. The deck hardware is powerful and fast: it takes only 6 seconds to hoist the jib! What else? She is a true Wally!”
The professional crew is getting accustomed to Tango and will be ready at the end of the week for the Les Voiles de Saint Tropez, where the new superyacht faces the direct competitions of the other three Wallycentos. The new golden age of yachting will be on stage!
