Outstanding Achievement in a Sailing Yacht ~ Esense
Some might argue that nearly every yacht, sail or power, bearing the Wally nameplate is an outstanding achievement in some way. It’s nearly impossible to go aboard a Wally and not shake your head in wondrous admiration of what springs from the fertile mind of company owner and design guru Luca Bassani. Our Justin Ratcliffe had a typical reaction to our winner in this category, the largest launch yet by the Monaco-based builder. "I defy anyone," he said, "not to be blown away by the stunning lines of the new 143-foot Wally, Esense. True to her name, the yacht is both essential and sensual." Among her many outstanding attributes, the all-carbon-fiber Esense, which features naval architecture by Bill Tripp, has a stunningly sparse deck design that makes her feel as if her cockpit runs the entire length of the boat. Her exquisitely styled minimalist interior by Odile Decq is typical of Wally’s forward thinking.
