Wally Supercar Concept for the Superyacht Set

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing, Luxury Cars & Autos

Monaco-based boatbuilder Wally, known for its avant-garde yacht designs, is responsible for some of the most eye-catching craft plying the waters. As we reported last year they also make some of the world's coolest high-performance skis. Now Matthew Hockham, an automotive design graduate of the UK's Coventry University, has come up with a Wally supercar concept inspired by both of the company's passions. Hockham's brief was to take Wally's distinctive design language and apply it to a suitably high-end and high-tech automotive concept. "The aim is to bring the essence of Wally onto the land and offer an exclusive user experience," he tells Car Body Design. Hockham's design uses Wally's trademark futuristic form language with sharp edges, black glass surfaces and hi-tech gray tones. The side profile was inspired by the lines of the stunning 118 WallyPower yacht. The interior makes extensive use of carbon fiber and teak, two materials used widely by Wally, and the elongated chassis is especially designed to transport a pair of Wally carbon fiber skis.

Among the contenders will be Southern Ocean Marine's 105-ft. Liara; Wally's 100-ft. Y3K.; the Ed Dubois-designed, Fitzroy built 148-ft. Salperton IV; Perini Navi's 125-ft. P2; and more yachts measuring 80 feet and up. Apres-sailing there will be an owner's dinner at the yacht club and a beach party at the opulent Hotel Romazzino, part of the Luxury Collection.

Pastrovich Yacht Design, Transformers Of Luxury Yachts

by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

Pastrovich Studio is the designer for the WallyPower range, including the still-otherworldly tri-turbine WallyPower 118. Turns out it also does a fair bit of contract work for individuals, and one of its latest projects is a concept to refit a ship that began life as an ocean-going tug boat, turning it into a luxury yacht.

Conversions of working vessels into motor yachts are nothing new, and heavy lifters like tugs and icebreakers are among those chosen most often for the switch. The 77.4-meter (253.9-foot) hauler dating from 1975, the subject of this retrofit, was designed and built by Germany's Schichau-Unterwesser in Bremerhaven.

Previously used as a support vessel for a luxury yacht in the Middle East, the Pastrovich transformation envisions keeping the 'historical' features intact: the forward superstructure, funnel and two masts. The aft superstructure is reworked to blend into the comprehensive line of the boat, and when it's finished the tug will officially take its place tied at #79 on Superyachts.com's list of largest motor yachts of 2010, right behind it is its sister ship, the tug Lone Ranger – already a luxury yacht that is, also being refitted by Pastrovich.

Monaco-based boatbuilder Wally, known for its avant-garde yacht designs, has expanded its range of high-tech, high-performance skis made using carbon fiber technology borrowed from seagoing craft. The collection now includes six different models engineered for a range of expert skiing styles and conditions. Wally's skis are 30% lighter than conventional ones and combine exceptional grip on ice with high performance on powder. The carbon fiber is accompanied by cores of ash and birch wood, titanium accents and steel edging. The models in the range are the Original, Tradition, Magic, Freewally, Minipowder and Wallypowder. At 176 cm long, the new Wallypowder is one of the widest skis ever produced and the only full carbon ski specifically developed for off-piste runs.

Wally and Hermes Partner On Greenish Yacht Concept

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing, Green

The last few years brought a flurry of yacht and luxury brand partnerships. Now we are starting to see the output from these collaborations. Hermes and Wally are showing off a model of a 38-meter-wide yacht the WHY 58x38 (it is 58 meters long by 38 meters wide), which was presented in Ancona, Italy. Obviously this is no ordinary sleek vessel but we'd expect nothing less than mad innovation from Wally.

The yacht has 25-meter interior swimming pool, three decks and a 36-meter "beach" along the back. The large solar panels covering the roof and sides of the vessel could save at least 200 tons of diesel fuel a year. The design of the hull means that the yacht uses less power at cruising speed than another boat of equal size. It has a diesel-electric propulsion system and the solar panels power most of the boat's auxiliary system needs. In a press release, Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Artistic Director of Hermès said: "The WHY 58X38 yacht looks very unfamiliar but it remains on a human scale. Space is the greatest luxury on the sea, but I believe the new luxury will be the time to enjoy it."

It's always interesting when companies collaborate, and it's no different in the case of Italian motorcycle maker MV Agusta joining forces with both the clothing manufacturer Hydrogen and the luxury boat company Wally. The resulting limited edition bikes are spin-offs of MV Agusta's Brutale 910 and are appropriately called the Hydrogen Brutale 910 R and the Wally Brutale 910 R. Each of the bike designs are unique while still maintaining the lines and beauty that make the Brutale the bike that it is. Only 100 of each model will be produced.

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

The latest yacht from Wally is the 64-foot WallyPower 64. The yacht sits at the smaller end of the company's yacht range. The WallyPower 64 offers wider decks than most boats of a similar size. It can be ordered with engines that can do 43 knots or ones that can hit 50 knots. You won't get too far though, the range is just 300 nautical miles.

It is available with several options for the interior with tow or three-cabin layouts. Each cabin has an ensuite shower room. There is a large social area with a dining table than can seat eight and a lounge with a coffee table and an expansive sunbathing area. Wally plans to build six of these new boats each year with the first two scheduled to be delivered by the end of June.

Interview: Barton and Gray Fractional Mariners Club

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

The idea of fractionalizing ownership of expensive things is nothing new; timeshares have been around forever, and companies like Netjets and Flight Options let you own shares in a private jet. And while you can own a share of the 280 Alysia for about $11,000,000, that doesn't seem too practical for casual use. Enter Barton and Gray. They aim to take the hassle out of yacht ownership. Barton and Gray commodore Lyman Perry puts it best, "It has been said that the finest way to boat is to have friends with a yacht, Barton & Gray Mariners Club are your friends with yachts." More on my interview with Douglas Palmer Gray after the jump.
