CONCEPT

Monaco – May 15, 2025 - For more than three decades, Wally – a Ferretti Group brand – has been specialising in the unordinary. Consistently several years ahead of its competitors, its striking yachts have always blended unparalleled performance, uncompromising comfort and unsurpassed style, continually redefining the super-sailing segment with every launch.

2023 announced the birth of another untypical project – this time, to create a fast 50-foot race boat, encapsulated in a ratings-busting package that would be competitive as a one-design owner-driver class that would bring the Wally magic and camaraderie to an exciting, exacting yet accessible rocketship, and both in fleet racing under IRC and ORC.

That vision is now a reality, and the wallyrocket51 has already made a name for itself with its speed during the final sea trials, ahead of its debut at the ORC National Championship of Central and Southern Tyrrhenian, held in Sorrento last week. It is now gearing up for the Cowes-Dinard-Saint Malo, the Admiral’s Cup, and the Fastnet Race later this summer. What’s more, the wallyrocket51 has been conceived to offer the ultimate in flexibility, not only being able to switch between manual-powered fleet and electric-powered one-design racing modes but also offering the ability to race with reduced crew of 11.
