On the occasion of the Monaco Yacht Show, the maison Wally officially revealed the Wally Wind 110, its first major sailing yacht since its acquisition by the Ferretti Group in January 2019. Named Galma, this 33.42-metre vessel embodies the ultimate synthesis of aesthetic purity and regatta performance. Designed for a passionate Spanish owner devoted to the brand, this carbon ocean giant marks the revival of a nautical legend that has shaped the history of contemporary yachting.
The indelible mark of Luca Bassani
The vision of Luca Bassani
For Luca Bassani, founder of the iconic brand, this new 110-footer represents the culmination of a powerful personal vision. Although he stepped back from managerial duties to focus exclusively on design direction within the Ferretti Group, his creative philosophy infuses every detail of the vessel. This project is the first iteration of the WallyWind range, which also includes 130 and 150-foot concepts, engineered to reconcile pure speed with absolute comfort during long-distance cruising.
Since the brand was acquired by the Ferretti Group in January 2019, Wally had primarily made its mark developing bold motor yachts. This return to luxury sailing yachts, embedded in the builder’s original DNA, proves that the passion for wind-powered navigation remains a central pillar of the maison’s identity. The vessel’s sleek silhouette, enhanced by dark sails, lends a modern and powerful presence on the water.
The technological genesis of the Wally Wind 110
Built at the Ravenna shipyard in Italy, the first unit of the series boasts an impressive technological pedigree. The hull and mast are constructed entirely from carbon fibre, ensuring structural lightness conducive to the most demanding dynamic performances. The hull design was entrusted to the prestigious German engineering studio Judel/Vrolijk from Bremerhaven, a longstanding partner of the brand renowned for its exceptionally efficient racing hulls.
German engineering firm Judel/Vrolijk designed a hull capable of propelling the vessel beyond 10 knots in a mere breeze. The sail plan boasts an impressive 635 m² upwind surface area, reaching up to 1,296 m² downwind. To counterbalance this sail power, the yacht is equipped with a lifting keel whose weighted bulb can extend to a draft of 6.80 metres at sea, while retracting to 4.50 metres to facilitate access to shallow anchorages.
The invisible innovation of the deck plan
A deck plan defined by extreme minimalism
The deck of the Wally Wind 110 immediately captivates with its extreme minimalism and exquisite craftsmanship. Laid entirely in untreated teak, it adopts a semi-flushdeck profile where every wooden plank is fitted with cabinetmaker precision, particularly around the aft curvature of the coachroof. Movement flows effortlessly thanks to a subtle double step connecting the social cockpit to the foredeck, creating a completely uncluttered living area.
A 4-metre tender is cleverly concealed in a watertight locker beneath the central section of the deck. Spanning nearly 80 m², the cockpit is the centerpiece of the exterior design. Set on a perfectly flat floor and slightly recessed relative to the topsides, it offers optimal protection while remaining invisible from outside the boat to preserve the purity of its lines. In race mode, the majority of the lounge cockpit furniture can be removed to lighten the vessel and clear the deck.
A refined interior defined by carbon
An interior defined by elegance
True to the spirit of the maison, the interior stands out with understated, contemporary elegance that avoids unnecessary ostentation. The main companionway leads to a vast saloon bathed in natural light, thanks to a long overhead glass panel and expansive hull side windows. The interior finishes subtly pair light wood veneer panelling with a high-gloss black carbon fibre floor.
The interior highlights a striking contrast between the high-gloss black carbon fibre flooring and the pale woodwork. The fully customisable layout features an owner’s suite at the forward bow of the vessel, complete with a large central bed and an en-suite bathroom where carbon reigns supreme. The aft section is dedicated to two additional guest cabins and a generous crew quarter, including an independent mess, chart table, and a professional galley with its own companionway leading directly to the cockpit.
A strategic new direction for the brand
This launch illustrates the Ferretti Group’s desire to combine a rigorous industrial approach with the unique character of every unit produced. The sailing yacht offers a level of personalisation worthy of a fully bespoke superyacht, while benefiting from the reliability and build standards of a major naval group. With an estimated price tag of €17,500,000, the maison demonstrates that it still masters the art of creating sailing yachts capable of defining their era.
Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi emphasizes this hybrid approach, combining high-end personalisation with industrial precision. Every Wally must remain a unique work of art while drawing on the exceptional technical expertise of the teams in Ravenna.
