Wally has announced the sale of the fourth yacht in its Cento series. At 30.48m, the yard believes this new racer-cruiser is the perfect size to combine absolute comfort, outstanding performance and racing maneuverability. Measuring 30.48 metres, the fourth Wallycento box-ruled superyacht has been developed by Mark Mills of Mills Design, marking the third naval architect to collaborate on the series. He has achieved the most refined high performance solution by optimizing the layout to reduce the weight, improving hull stiffness and centralizing the heavy machinery.
"We suggested Mark to the client because I was impressed by the performance of the Maxi72 Alegre. Since the first meetings, we shared with him the same vision of the innovations that can be applied to this type of yachts like the cutting-edge deck layout that combines our flush-deck with bulwark introduced in 2006 with Esense, with the ramp deck of Alegre, perfectly reflecting the Wally DNA of improved functionality", Wally President and Founder, Luca Bassani, explains.
The yacht accommodates 6 guests as well as a crew up to 4. As for the performance, hull #4 provides a top speed of 11 knots from a 300 hp engine.
The vessel is currently under construction at the Persico Marine yard in Italy, and is due for delivery in June 2017.
