The new Wallypower 58 is an astonishingly beautiful boat – ariotous carnival of long unbroken lines, radical angles and faceted surfaces. But while it feels like a departure for Wally in some ways, it retains some very distinct design cues from the Wallytender, the Wallypower 52 and the iconic Wallypower 118.
That all-consuming dedication to purity of form certainly has quite a dramatic impact on the way the boat operates. The tapered bow and open aft deck, for instance, are completely unencumbered by guardrails. And where Wally takes its zero-compromise approach to style even further is in the blanket rejection of hull windows. What you get instead are “magic portholes” – gimbalstabilised cameras on each side of the boat, hooked up to port and starboard screens in the saloon, delivering wide-angle views of the outside world without compromising the boat’s aesthetic.
Back up in the cockpit, the use of an open transom and 270ft² of expandable side decks brings extraordinary (non-virtual) views and a rare degree of intimacy with the elements.
And further forward, in the covered part of the cockpit, the 58’s long dining station is set beneath a gloriously sculptural coupé-style superstructure with pillarless curved glass.
