Lyra

24m, 2000

Lyra (formerly Carrera) was the first yacht to employ the performance lifting keel technology that was developed by Wally and is now seen on many of the world's superyachts.

She was renamed Lyra by her current owner and given an extensive refit to make her more competitive in the Wally Class. Among other changes she is now four tons lighter and has a new mast design, new sail plan and new hardware.

Lyra’s owner loves racing and takes part in all of the Wally Class events during the season.

Magic Blue

28.6m, 2002

Magic Blue (formerly Magic Carpet Squared) was sold to her current owner in 2013. She is the most successful yacht in the Wally Class, with 14 regatta victories over the years, including more than one win at each regatta on the circuit.

Yacht designer Luca Bassani, the founder of Wally, is the tactician on board. The all Italian crew also features several former America’s Cup sailors.

Last year Magic Blue won Les Voiles de Saint Tropez in the Wally Division, proving that she is still one of the most competitive yachts in the fleet.

Magic Carpet Cubed

30.48m, 2013

Magic Carpet Cubed is one of the yachts in the box-ruled WallyCento series. She is fast in all conditions, coping effectively in light winds and strong winds. She also  proves that racing and comfort aren't mutually exclusive.

She is the third Wally ordered by passionate owner and racer Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones. He has won a total of 22 regattas with his three Wallys: Magic Carpet (now J One), Magic Carpet Squared (now Magic Blue) and Magic Carpet Cubed.

Magic Carpet Cubed engages in tight racing with Open Season at many of the regattas, including at the 2014 Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta. This year is likely to be no different.

Nahita

24m, 2009

Nahita (formerly Bagheera) is the sixth yacht in the Wally 80 design. She made her Wally Class debut in 2015 and gradually improved throughout the season.

Her international crew will look to make further gains in the 2016 season as they take on the other 24 metre Wally’s J One, Lyra, Tango G and Tilakkhana.

Open Season

32.55m, 2012

Open Season was originally built under the WallyCento box rule but last winter she underwent a significant refit to enhance her competitiveness in the Wally racing circuit.

Major work included lengthening her by 2 metres, and increasing her draft from 6.2 to 7 metres.

Open Season emerged from her refit to win four of the five regattas on the 2015 circuit. This also meant she won the overall Wally trophy.

Her owner is the current International Maxi Association president and he will be hoping for another strong year. He is passionate about the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, having participated many times with both Open Season and with his previous Wally, now named Sensei.

Tilakkhana

24m, 2004

Launched as Dangerous But Fun, Tilakkhana was commissioned by an owner who loves racing. She features the canting keel of the successful Wally80 design.

When her new owners bought her in 2015, they were keen to continue the racing pedigree of the yacht and took part in the last few races of the 2015 season.

With her female owner at the helm, Tilakkhana will take part in all of the Wally regattas this year.
