Wally rocket51

wallyrocket51

Born from our determination to create the world's fastest race boat on corrected time. This is a long story of innovation and minute attention to detail, backed by the America's Cup expertise of Botin Partners.

The team settled on a 51-foot hull length, earning rating credit that could be spent elsewhere. High performance water ballast, lightweight carbon foam sandwich lay-up and refined handling reduces the crew requirement to 11 people – significantly less that any other boat. High modulus carbon spars, AeroSix carbon rigging and high-performance deck hardware also contribute to keeping displacement to just 6.3 tonnes.

Simulations suggest that the wallyrocket51 can outperform any competition under IRC and ORC ratings. Whether in classic Med regattas, ocean racing or shorthanded round the cans, the wallyrocket51 has the potential to win.

At the helm of the technical project are: Botin Partners as Naval Architects; Pure as Structural Engineering; Vasco Vascotto and Guillermo Parada as Project Developers.

The design and styling of the wallyrocket51 is the result of a concerted effort by Luca Bassani, the Wally Design Team and Studio Santa Maria Magnolfi.

The technical partners and suppliers are: APM: Keel Manufacturer; Cariboni: Hydraulic System Supplier; Southern Spars: Rig Manufacturer; Future Fibre: Standing Rigging Manufacturer; Harken: Deck Hardware Supplier; Gurit: Composite Materials Supplier.

“A new milestone in sailing innovation while maintaining Wally's unmistakable style and performance imprint.”

World's. Fastest. Boat.

From shorthanded to fully crewed.
