Aren’t these Wally yachts a thing of beauty? They are in action in the Nespresso Cup in Portofino at the moment. In this picture you see the Wallynano “Biancaneve” which has sailnumber “MON-001”, a 37 footer that can be sailed singlehanded.

The magnificent and iconic Wally 88 Tiketitan was destroyed by a fire in a shipyard in Palma de Mallorca yesterday. Tiketitan (called Il Sovereign these days) was designed ten years ago by German Frers and built by Green Marine. She is one of the original fast and easily-handled Wally superyachts, and the first Wally with a canting keel.
It’s said to see a beautiful boat end like this, but at least she went like she came: spectacular.
