Wally, a leader in sailing innovation, is steadily moving forward with two major projects that are ready to debut in the summer.

Wallywind110 is a project that has been years in the making, starting in 2022 and since 2019, Wally, as part of the Ferretti Group, has steadily advanced this ambitious venture. The first ship is now in the final outfitting stage and is characterized by an all-carbon structure formed in the female mold. The hull is painted in a pale metallic blue, with subtle and captivating color changes as the light flows. All fittings and interiors are built to Wally's high standards, showcasing unrivalled quality and craftsmanship.

A key challenge to come is trucking it 40 kilometres out to sea, a process familiar to Wally's team and residents of the city of Forli, but requiring careful planning to overcome obstacles such as overhanging tree branches and road signs. Upon arrival at Marina di Ravenna, wallywind110 will be fitted with a 6.95-metre telescopic keel, one-piece carbon fibre twin rudders and a 48-metre Hall mast platform. After successful testing of technical systems at the shipyard, the sailboat will undergo a series of sea trials. Scheduled for delivery in early June, the wallywind 110 is designed to be both a global cruising yacht and a great performer on the track without compromising on luxury.
