Nine years of experience in thinking, drawing and building taut lines and faceted surfaces made this design really representative of architecture, design and technology.

The 55 Wallypower is Stefano Pastrovich most recent design with Wally: it is an open, for holidays inhot climates, where the “wind in your hair” describes the spirit of the design. …Read More
After so many years of experimenting with the Wally models, Stefano Pastrovich and the team working on the project, came to understand that the deck house could be moved towards the bow without detracting from its beauty but, indeed, increasing the external space protected by the windshield.
The designs for this boat were made entirely by 3D modelling
There is a fun innovation at the front cockpit tables, a deep sofa so you can lie down while underway, protected from the wind. Then there are longer-than-usual portholes in the hull to increase the panoramic view from inside. The bimini sunshade is an optional and he bulwark is slightly raised to include the cushions and give the guests a sense of security. So many angles, facets, tricks, the fruit of many years experience which have enabled us to size every last detail properly.

Expand the interior
The initial idea for the interiors was to make an open space with only one cabin in it, but the sales office, to sell it easly, needed beds and bathrooms to show clients.
I drew the open space and when I was asked to change everything, to design a cabin, for a moment, I was pretty mad; then I realised that the decision obviously had some reasonable motives. The re-boot did not last long; I remember drawing the layout in no time, gripped with the fervour of demonstrating that once again, I could transform the impossible into the legendary. I forced the interiors to cohabit with the exteriors to break the interior-exterior barrier; perspectives, acute angles, glimpses of panorama through 180 degrees.
While designing the 55 Wallypower, Stefano had to find a way to give the feeling of lots of space in a very small saloon. He decided to use all the perspective techniques and ideas he knew and learned while working with Wally: he inclined the furniture, put two mirrors in the end bulkhead to double the space and make it seem very long, created glazed surfaces on all the corners to make the view open up 180° on the horizon and 90° on the azimuth.
Tho enhance the space in the interior, the furniture is inclined and two mirrors in the end bulkhead double the space
The effect was absolutely incredible and testimony to the fact that, in shipbuilding, architecture is as important as design.
