2009 Wally 130

The Wally 130 is a 131-foot high-performance sailing yacht designed by naval architect Javier Soto Acebal with exterior styling by Amanda Levete. Built in 2009 from advanced carbon Nomex composite, she combines serious racing capability with comfortable cruising and entertaining spaces. Her black hull with carbon fibre detailing, open deck layout spanning her full 40-metre length, and removable main deck furnishings support both relaxed hospitality and competitive regattas. An open transom serves as a sea terrace with easy water access via bathing platform, while a smart awning system provides weather protection across the entire deck area.

The yacht accommodates 11 guests across four cabins and a crew of five in three dedicated cabins. The owner's suite features a double bed with separate head and shower. A VIP cabin offers a convertible twin/double layout with an additional pullman bed and en-suite facilities. A family cabin provides two beds and two pullman berths with head and shower. The fourth cabin serves as an office space with a bed and pullman berth, also with en-suite facilities. The galley is equipped with custom water-cooled refrigeration and freezer, Miele oven and dishwasher, and a complete laundry setup including Miele washing machine and dryer.

Her sailing credentials are substantial. Hall Spars supplied the super-high modulus mast and boom, complemented by EC6 carbon standing rigging. A North Sails mainsail from 2014, Evolution Sails headsail and staysail, and a One Sail downwind sail complete the inventory. A MAN 450 hp diesel engine with 9,050 hours delivers an 11-knot cruising speed and 13-knot maximum speed, with a range of 3,300 nautical miles. Two Fisher Panda generators provide auxiliary power, supported by newly installed Mastervolt lithium batteries and 24kW shore power capability. Navigation and communication systems include Furuno NavNet 3D, B&G instruments, KVH satellite systems, and dual VHF radios.

The yacht has undergone extensive refits maintaining her condition throughout her life. The 2024 refit included new lithium service batteries, replacement air-conditioning units, keel cylinder overhaul, complete hull sandblasting with modern treatment, and mast dismasting for inspection. The 2016 refit upgraded helm stations, replaced generators, installed new water makers, and replaced standing rigging with EC6 carbon. The 2013 Hinckley refit converted a twin bunk cabin to an office, installed new lithium battery banks, replaced the propeller with a four-blade Korsor, and completely serviced the rig. The 2010 Lürssen refit rebuilt interior spaces as new, replaced teak decking, installed a suspended lighting system, and applied a full dupont repaint.
