NEW WALLYROCKET51 LAUNCHED: DESIGNED FOR EXCELLENCE

The new wallyrocket51, the first pure racing sailing model signed by Wally, has been launched. She represents a new milestone in sailing innovation while maintaining the brand’s unmistakable style and performance imprint.

Conceived to be the fastest owner-driver monotype in the world, she is also designed to excel in IRC and ORC competitions, thanks to a design optimized in every detail.

Wally’s sailing yachts have always been icons of style and innovation, setting benchmarks for performance and turning traditional thinking on its head. Now, knowledge, flair, precision and passion has been channeled into a new design which represents a new direction for the brand.

With a length of 15.5 metres, the wallyrocket51 features an ultra-light displacement of 6.3 tonnes and a highly refined hull. This innovative design was realized in collaboration with Botin Partners, known for their America’s Cup experience and success in the 50‘and 100’ classes. The boat’s design allows for a rating bonus due to her length and innovative features such as the trim tab, which improves upwind lift while reducing drag.

The wallyrocket51 is not only fast, but also versatile and easy to maneuver, even with a reduced crew of 11. The water ballast at the stern further enhances the stability and strength of the hull, while the ergonomics of the deck are designed to ensure maneuverability with a few people. Her sail plan, with 167 square metres of surface area when sailing upwind and 363 square metres when sailing downwind, together with advanced materials such as pre-preg carbon, Nomex and Corecell, contribute to making the boat extremely competitive and technologically

advanced.

In brief, the wallyrocket51 is a boat that combines fun, style and performance at the highest level with a revolutionary design that marks a new chapter in the world of racing.
