Galateia features all the innovative concepts of the box-ruled superyacht: a fully equipped family cruiser matching the speed of the latest maxi racers, and providing a close racing within a narrow rating range of the wallycento fleet in the Wally Class competitive programme.

“The wallycento formula is indisputably successful because these super yachts proved to be highly competitive, very technical, extremely fast in all conditions, and exceptionally cruiser friendly” says Luca Bassani, Wally founder and president “With all these characteristics, the wallycento super yachts currently reflect the highest technological expression of the world of large sailing yachts continuing the tradition of the true Maxis, which is racing in an homogeneous and competitive fleet.”

The overwhelming performance of Magic Carpet3, overall winner of the 2014 Wally Annual Trophy and of the 2015 off-shore Giraglia race beating in IRC overall all the pure maxi racers, combined with her strikingly beautiful lines, convinced the passionate Owners to select the same naval architect studio, Reichel Pugh Yacht Design, to develop their new Wallycento while Wally is responsible for the styling and interiors.
