28-metre Wally from Judel/Vrolijk

"Nahita" is a Wally 93 from the Judel/Vrolijk computers, with the typical Wally sheer deck and sweeping race stern. The Bremerhaven-based design office, which is responsible for the winning yachts of the last four Maxi 72 World Championships, gave the 28.30 metre long and 6.65 metre wide sloop 503 square metres of sail laminate upwind and 1059 square metres downwind. Rolf Vrolijk describes "Nahita's" performance potential as follows: "She has been optimised for light to medium winds and will start planing earlier than the Wallycentos and quickly exceed the true wind speed."

As with all Wallys, the interior of the carbon hull has been consistently weight-optimised. Lightweight composite materials dominate here, with the saloon positioned forward of the mast and the galley and crew quarters amidships. The owner lives in the bow and there are two guest cabins in the stern. The draught of the comfort racer can be reduced from 6.20 to 4.50 metres. Luca Bassani, Wally mastermind and President of the Wally Class Association, says of the latest addition: "The Wally 93 has benefited from the experience we gained with the extremely successful Wallycento 'Open Season'. At a featherweight 35.50 tonnes, 'Nahita' is very light and powerful and actually weighs almost as much as her predecessor, a Wally 80."

The old "Nahita", a Wally just under 24 metres long and completed in 2009 according to Farr plans, is currently listed at KK Superyachts for 2.95 million euros. The new "Nahita" will make her debut on the international regatta stage at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup 2018 from 2 to 8 September in Porto Cervo.
