    You don't get a boat you get a "unit"
    Two new units of Wallynano will be delivered in the first half of May, and four more in the summer: the production schedule of the contemporary-classic day sailer reflects the success of this Wally product.
    Pretty impressive numbers though, 37 feet 2.5 tons and 50% ballast ratio, your unit should sail well.

    Is it really pink? Looks like a trick of the light to me. No mistaking Andrew's ship, though.

    We sometimes see a bright pink Spitfire in the skies around here. Apparently it was good camouflage when coming out of the sun. Seems pretty incongruous though.

    Recently I heard that they had to paint Wally's in a lighter colour, because the first hulls, painted in dark-blue got heat-blisters in the Med sun.

    Retrolook, no doubt:

    I went to buy a pink boat once, but I didn't because the colour made my ass look big.

    I don't know what they cost.
    I'm pretty sure that asking means it's too much for me.
    It's plastic, and I'm "committed" to wooden boats
    I still think I could find an excuse to "NEED" that boat....
    And one could probably order it in any colour you wanted

    Paint it any color you want, that thing is just fugly.

    I'll take Watson's S&S 34 any day! (after removing all the globetrotting crap, of course)

    The gentleman photographed sailing that boat must have, well, must have strong self-confidence and no image concerns.

    I think its cool as Hell. Mind you, I'd prefer mine in the more traditional steel grey Wally scheme.

    I never learned from a man who agreed with me.

    Yes it's plastic, but comparing it to a S&S34... It's like comparing a Chevy Voyager with a Bugatti or an Aston Martin
