"A new milestone in sailing innovation while maintaining Wally’s unmistakable style and performance imprint."

wallyrocket71 new

The wallyrocket71 project sets out to create a cutting-edge maxi yacht that redefines the limits of performance and innovation on the race circuit.

The new wallyrocket71 has twin rudders and a high-performance bulb keel, as well as 2.7t of water ballast. And yet, being marginally smaller than the Maxi 72s, it has also managed to shed two tonnes of overall weight. Being lighter, the keel can also be smaller, and the rig marginally shorter, creating a virtuous circle tending towards a boat that is just as nimble as its competitors, but quicker in light airs and in response to a gust.

Only the water ballast is heavier than its competitors, by around 35 per cent. Systems are such that the full 2.7t of water can be pumped from one side to the other in around six seconds, meaning that the boat can tack short and fast. In sail trials, it is hitting its expected upwind speeds of 10.5-11.00 knots with ease and managing to match or even exceed wind speed going down.

The yacht was designed to offer uncompromising versatility. For Wally, optimizing solely for upwind or downwind sailing means limiting possibilities and being at the mercy of conditions. The new wallyrocket71 is engineered to perform at its best on any course and in any scenario.

This groundbreaking project is the result of a close collaboration between the Wally team, studio Botin Partners for the naval architecture and King Marine as builder.
