Monaco – In a significant development for the high-performance sailing yacht sector, Wally has announced the launch of the second wallywind110. The 33.5-meter sloop, a sistership to the celebrated Galma, was completed and launched from the Monegasque builder’s facilities on July 15, 2025, and is scheduled to make her global debut in Costa Smeralda in late August.
This launch reinforces Wally’s position at the forefront of carbon composite construction and sophisticated naval architecture. Building on the success of the first hull, this new vessel combines a proven, high-performance platform with a series of customized interior and exterior details, reflecting a close collaboration between the owner and the design team.
A Proven Platform Reimagined
At its core, the second wallywind110 shares the same advanced naval architecture from the renowned German firm judel/vrolijk & co. The hull design is engineered for exceptional performance across a wide range of wind conditions, balancing powerful sailing characteristics with stability and control. The yacht’s advanced composite construction, utilizing pre-preg carbon fiber, ensures a stiff, lightweight structure that is fundamental to its performance credentials.
The yacht’s powerful sail plan, developed by North Sails, is managed by a state-of-the-art carbon fiber rig from Hall Spars. This combination, paired with twin rudders for precise handling and a versatile telescopic keel that adjusts from 4.50 to 6.95 meters, allows the yacht to transition seamlessly between performance racing and shallow-water cruising.
“The second wallywind110 is a clear expression of Wally’s technical expertise and the exceptional skill of its team,” a representative from Wally stated. “Building on the experience gained with hull number one, the yard was able to streamline the production process, delivering what is considered one of its finest creations to date.”
Bespoke Design by Studio Santa Maria Magnolfi
While the hull is a sistership to Galma, the new yacht establishes its own distinct identity through refined aesthetics curated by Studio Santa Maria Magnolfi, which handled both the exterior and interior design. The exterior is finished in a timeless sand-grey, a subtle yet sophisticated departure from the first unit that accentuates the yacht’s clean, elegant lines.
The exterior layout remains true to the wallywind philosophy, which prioritizes uncluttered spaces and a seamless connection to the marine environment. Key features include:
-
An expansive, single-level guest cockpit and social area free of visible sail controls.
-
A dedicated helm and maneuvering zone positioned aft for efficient sail management.
-
An integrated beach platform at the transom, offering direct access to the water.
This intentional separation of guest and crew areas ensures that owners and their guests can enjoy a relaxed and elegant on-the-water lifestyle without compromising the yacht's operational efficiency.
A Lighter, More Versatile Interior
Internally, the owner of the second wallywind110 opted for a series of bespoke modifications that distinguish it from its predecessor. The most notable change is a significantly lighter interior palette, creating a bright and airy ambiance throughout the lower deck. This aesthetic choice enhances the sense of space and reflects a modern, understated elegance.
Further customizations focus on enhancing versatility and owner comfort. In a clever use of space, the VIP cabin features a sliding bed that can be configured as a double or twin, offering flexibility for guests. Additionally, the bar area in the lower salon has been replaced with a multi-purpose workspace, a nod to the evolving ways owners live and work on their yachts.
These thoughtful modifications, executed with the precision and quality craftsmanship that define the Wally brand, showcase the builder’s ability to accommodate highly personalized owner requests within a semi-custom series.
Market Position and Future Outlook
The launch of the second wallywind110 solidifies the success of the series in a competitive market segment. As a division of the Ferretti Group, Wally continues to leverage its extensive resources and technical prowess to push the boundaries of sailing yacht design. Founded in 1994, the brand has consistently been recognized for its innovation, earning the prestigious ADI Compasso d’Oro award twice for its groundbreaking contributions to design and quality.
The yacht's upcoming world premiere in Costa Smeralda—a premier destination for international sailing—will provide a fitting stage to showcase its capabilities to a discerning audience of owners, industry professionals, and yachting enthusiasts. This event will undoubtedly generate significant interest ahead of the autumn boat show season.
As the industry continues to evolve, the wallywind110 series stands as a benchmark for yachts that refuse to compromise, offering a masterful blend of cutting-edge performance, timeless design, and unparalleled comfort.
