Wally, the manufacturer of super-luxury power and sailing yachts has confirmed the full specification of its new icon, Wally//One. Delivering superior performance, technology, comfort and space, the successor to the Wally//Tender was displayed for the first time at the 2011 Festival de la Plaisance in Cannes.

“In Wally//One we wanted to give people a boat that was fun to use as a day boat while still being practical as a tender. We have made smarter use of the deck and cabin spaces and included more luxuries – wonderful details that make it a great place to relax and entertain – at the same time as making it more economical and more manoeuvrable,” explains Wally founder and President, Luca Bassani Antivari.

Wally//One has been designed to give customers more for less, reducing length, consumption and price, while creating a day boat that has flexible seating, increased deck and sunbed space and a host of modern conveniences. Slightly shorter and narrower than its predecessor, the hugely successful Wally//Tender, Wally//One offers greater usability and greater luxury.

Utilising a full composite sandwich construction, Wally’s uncompromising approach to ride quality is manifested in a revolutionary hull design, incorporating unique lines and a deep vertical bow. This design allows the hull to pierce the wave, resulting in an exceptionally smooth ride even in choppy waters. The vertical bow is also engineered to optimize speed, its Yanmar V8 twin turbo engines taking Wally//One to a top design speed of 47 knots.

The view from the helm has a distinctly sporting aesthetic, with cockpit control panels veneered with carbon fibre and accented with satin steel switches. Featuring multi-functional Yanmar instruments and hydraulic steering and trim systems, Wally//One is built for ease of use and manoeuvrability. Optional navigational equipment is also available, including Simrad Chartplotter and Autopilot systems, complemented by Broadband 3G Radar and Depth Sounder sensor.

New helm and deck seating has been designed specifically for Wally//One, incorporating carbon fibre for reduced vibration and rapid-dry mesh coverings. Cushions throughout the deck area are constructed of open cell foam and mesh allowing for instant drainage. The optional Bimini top, constructed of a carbon fibre weave, is supported by carbon fibre struts for increased strength and reduced vibration.

Deck space has been increased, both forward and aft, the new layout allowing guests to walk unimpeded round the deck. Traditional teak has been used, providing comfort under foot and on deck stability is provided by side and cockpit handles finished in satin steel or nubuck leather depending on customer preference. Wally//One also features an aft shower and an electric swimming ladder, affording guests easy access to the water.

Additional optional equipment available to heighten enjoyment of the enlarged deck space includes a removable forward cockpit table with folding seats and forward cushion for eight guests to dine in comfort. There is additional aft passenger seating, fixed or transformable aft sunbeds and a full cushion covering for the aft deck. Awnings with carbon fibre stanchions are also available for both the forward and aft sunbathing areas. With additions such as an integrated sound system with iPod connectivity, Nespresso machine and on-deck refrigerator, Wally//One is the perfect space for relaxation and entertaining.

The interior cabin is the embodiment of contemporary refinement with a generous double berth. The flooring and interior panels are finished in soft and supple nubuck leather, whilst fixtures and fittings are crafted from satin steel, providing design highlights and continuity with the fittings on deck. The carbon fibre above deck is also echoed in the bathroom area of the cabin, where utilities include sink, head, shower and illuminated mirror.

The hull and deck design seamlessly incorporates fundamentals such as life raft storage with details such as deck self-draining systems, wrap-around fender and anti-slip paint on the aft bulwark. A full palette of optional hull finishes is available, including Awlcraft solid and metallic paints and an antifouling finish.
