Inspired by owner-driver one-designs and engineered to win under IRC/ORC, the revolutionary wallyrocket51 is Wally’s first purebred race boat—and it’s already proving its pedigree. At 15.5 metres, the wallyrocket51 blends elite performance, unmistakable style, and owner-focused usability into a single, formidable package.
Sea trials off Valencia revealed her true potential: lightning-fast, razor-sharp upwind, and thrillingly quick downwind, even in light airs. With an ultra-light displacement of just 6,250kg and a state-of-the-art water ballast system (640 litres per side), she’s built to fly. And yet, she remains fully manageable for an owner-driver with an 11-strong crew, offering access to grand prix performance with reduced campaign costs.
Optimised for both one-design class racing and rating rules like IRC and ORC, the wallyrocket51 features a removable battery-powered winch system and optional manual coffee grinders, switching seamlessly between formats without rating penalties. Every detail is intentional—from hull shape and rig to deck layout and electronics—designed in collaboration with Botin Partners and built to the highest standards by Pure Design & Engineering.
Her racing debut at the ORC Central and Southern Tyrrhenian Championship in Sorrento was spectacular: three wins from four races and a commanding overall victory.
Wally’s signature style is ever-present. The inverted sheerline, sculpted stern, and minimalist elegance—refined with Santa Maria Magnolfi—clearly mark her out as a Wally.
Created to challenge the world’s toughest races, including the Admiral’s Cup and Fastnet, the wallyrocket51 offers a future-proof platform that’s both innovative and exhilarating.
As Wally founder Luca Bassani says: “We wanted a boat that’s faster than anything else out there, holds its value, and still fits within a controllable budget. And that’s exactly what we’ve built.”
