The yard describes its new creation as “a new milestone in sailing innovation maintaining the brand’s unmistakable style and performance imprint”

 According to Wally, this is going to be one of world’s fastest monotypes, designed for races and optimized in every detail. 

By the way, the model was designed in collaboration with Botin Partners experts, known for their impressive America's Cup experience.

It is only natural that the wallyrocket51 was designed to excel in IRC and ORC competitions, and her construction features allow the boat to achieve amazing results. Moreover, the wallyrocket51 is not just fast, but also versatile and easy to maneuver even with a smaller crew of 11. The water ballast at the stern enhances the stability and strength of the hull, while the ergonomics of the deck makes it a lot more convenient to move about. 

The sail plan is 167 square metres of surface area upwind, and 363 square metres when sailing downwind.

The shipyard claims they have used such materials as pre-preg carbon, Nomex and Corecell, which makes the boat extremely competitive and technologically advanced. 

As they put it at the yard, "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”.
