"The 118 WallyPower is a high performance superyacht integrating technology with design, resulting with unique and marked characteristics like the vertical bow, the air inlets, and the deck superstructure.
The technical solutions contribute to the yacht appeal, like the shape of the bow that allows for a 50 per cent reduction of the vertical acceleration, and the superstructure design that features flat surfaces in order to be transparent.
The yacht features all the spacious comforts of a mega yacht together with the nautical characteristics of coast-guard boat: while remaining comfortable on board, guests are capable of cruising at 60 knots not only in flat seas but also in rough waters.
The pure lines of the 118 WallyPower are enhanced by the absence of visible cleats, mooring winches, radar antenna, TV dome, anchor system: everything is perfectly and neatly concealed and hidden without sacrificing functionality. An innovative interceptor system controls the boat’s trim to improve even further performance and comfort in any sea conditions.
The deck is flush and features from bow to stern: the tender garage, the social cockpit, the glass superstructure, and the aft cockpit. Large open areas are designed to comfortably and safely move around the deck when at anchor.
The propulsion system consists of three gas turbines generating 16,800 HP, driving water jets - two steerable outboard and a non-steering on centreline. For manoeuvring and long deliveries, the steerable water jets are powered by two diesel engines of 370 HP each. ( BM -
this thing uses three times the power in my whole car engine just to TURN!! not to move forward!! 16'800 horsepower??!! foooookiinngg heelll!!! ) The exhaust system is made of titanium that saves weight while being very resistent to the high temperatures generated by the gas turbines.
The yacht displaces only 95 tons thanks to the sophisticated building technology that used a hybrid structure to save weight while reacting in a very sound manner, without transmitting shockwaves therefore making comfortable the rigidity of the composite hull.
The bottom of the hull is built in solid fibreglass. Topsides from the waterline are hybrid fibreglass/carbon composite with balsa core. On deck this becomes a Nomex/full carbon composite. The deck superstructure is made of laminated glass with carbon frames. The interior bulkheads and cabin soles carry no structural loads: they are constructed entirely of thin wood and laminate veneer skins with cores.
At speed, the 118 WallyPower is comfortable and stable as a result of the V hull shape combined with the construction technology and the perfect isolation of the machinery noise and vibration. The hull form is a deep V of 22 degrees at the stern, with a straight stem bow designed to perform as a wave piercing ( BM -in other words- the front end is knife edged to cut through water)
The chameleon-like paint finish is metallic dark green and changes reflections and colour depending on the light and landscape. (BM- LOL! rage flip paint on a luxuary yaucht!!
)
At anchor, the sections of the bulwarks alongside the superstructure drop-down hydraulically to increase the light and the view from the salon. When open, they serve as diving platforms as well. (BM -now thats just takin the p***!!)
The deck, cockpit, navigation, dining and saloon areas have been conceived as one continuous element. Inside the superstructure, the atmosphere if that of a New York style loft. The open space incorporates three areas, from stern to bow: the saloon, the dining/seating area, and the navigation cockpit.The saloon is designed with the same relaxed life of the cockpit; the drop-down bulwarks increase the view from inside. The teak planes are covered with cushions to serve as sofas, while the spaces between the teak planes contain various functions such as additional seating, tables, storage and technology. The teak soles are a continuation of the deck teak enhancing the inside-outside living concept of the yacht.
Transparency is a main feature of the yacht interiors. When dining, guests can enjoy the 360-degree view. Underneath the table, the skylight gives light to the lower corridor.
A panel in the forward deck opens hydraulically and vertically to reveal the spacious lazzarette housing the tender and water toys, that are launched with a crane.
The owner’s stateroom is forward, featuring a king size bed. Plenty of storage is provided by the side cabinets. A 20â€
