Giuliano Luzzatto checks out the new wallywind110 Galma for Seahorse, while watching the 37th America’s Cup match
ometimes you are lucky enough to have unique experiences, like on 14 October 2024 in Barcelona when I had the opportunity to watch the
America's Cup Race 4 between ENTZ and Ineos Britannia from aboard the wallywind110 Galma together with the founder and chief designer of Wally, Luca Bassani. After the race – the fourth point for the Kiwis before the British interrupted their winning streak - we sailed for two hours in 11-13kt breeze and enjoyed this yacht that combines comfort and ease of handling with the excitement of a racer. The wallywind110 – 33.42 metres plus

With the wallywind110 we've managed to introduce something that's different: the boats are completely customisable, staying true to Wally's
tradition, but with the Ferretti Group's industrial approach, so no two will ever look the same’. ‘This first marvellous sailing model
since Wally became part of the Ferretti Group in 2019 is a very significant yacht for us,’ Galassi continues. ‘Not only is she making her world debut in the brand's 30th anniversary year, but she also reaffirms how relevant the sailing superyacht sector is for Ferretti Group. Our goal is to stay ahead of market trends by designing yachts that set new standards in both yachting and design’. Wallywind is a story that began in
2022, with the concept of a range of high-performance sailing yachts from 110-150ft LOA. In this first model all of the brand's famous sailing DNA is on display, combining Wally's always innovative style and clean lines with
