    Define the Wally "floating object" is not in my mind pejorative.
    If you have the unlimited power even a potatoe can planing.
    I had a look on the other models of Wally Yacht and this one is for sure the most succeeded.

    I think that the Wally 118, is one of the most beautiful boats ever, a boat to inspire a generation of designers.

    I prefer to define "different" instead "one of the most beautiful boat".
    Is not a common design, then is only a question of personal taste...

    I like the boat but really hate the coffin on the top:D
    Just kidding, but the shape has some ressamblance...and I really don't like the sharp bends, but as you have said, it is a question of taste.;)
     
  5. I agree.
     
  6. Do You know how many Tender Wally 30 ft they built? a success is also on the production. Do not look only at Cisitalia, look at the old VW Bettle. Was also a revolutionary design. But built in 20 million pcs or more.
     
  7. ....and this man is an all round artist, at least because the boat it is built not a mere toy for playstation.

    It is the top deck. If you take that one out, the design is still unconventional, but it will be balanced.
     
  10. I agree, this maybe it is not well conceived. Looks too constrained to follow the 118 lines as the 88.
     
  11. Wally inspiration!?!.
