Tango, the fourth unit of the highly competitive Wallycento fleet, was successfully launched at Persico Marine facility in the Ligurian west coast. The stepping operation was completed after the yacht touched the water; Tango gets ready for the sea-trial before the delivery to her passionate owner, scheduled at the end of August.

“Tango turned out exactly how we envisaged her when we started developing the project: super sleek lines and aggressive overall appeal conveying her high performance DNA.” proudly says Luca Bassani, Wally President “Additionally, our form-reflects-function approach is epitomised in Tango’s sheer flush deck in the like of the iconic Esense: besides enhancing the purity of the design, it would facilitate the manoeuvres while racing.
We look forward to the sea-trials and test the predicted superior performance of our new superyacht”. Along with Wally’s over 20 years know-how, the new Wallycento boasts Mark Mill’s naval architecture, Pininfarina interior design and Persico Marine construction technology: the perfect mix to produce a magnificent speed-machine. Tango introduces a new naval architect in the Wally projects, Mark Mills of Mills Design, with whom the Monegasque yachting disruptor shares the same vision of innovations that can be applied to this type of yachts. Tango’s interior layout places the main salon aft, the engine room and service area amidships, and the guest accommodation forward. “Tangos’ cruising comforts equal those of the previous Wallycentos whilst her different interior layout further concentrates the weights over the boat center of gravity.” remarks Bassani. The contemporary interior design carries the signature of Pininfarina, the renowned design brand, reflecting the visionary approach of Tango’s owner to have the inside-outside consistency.
The team of Pininfarina nautical division engaged the challenge to develop outstanding ultra-light interiors that would match the superyacht DNA. “The interior design of this Wallycento challenged our team to achieve the perfect balance of performance and comfort.” says Paolo Pininfarina, Pininfarina Group President. “Thanks to the selection of the materials and the innovative solutions of the interior decoration delivering both function and aesthetics, we generated a true thoroughbred of the sea, ultra-light and super performing, perfectly suitable for cruising as well as for racing. We are very proud of this accomplishment further confirming the excellence of our nautical division.” Tango marked another “first” for Wally: the collaboration with Persico Marine for the superyacht construction. Tango will be premiered at the Yacht Club de Monaco, on the 26 September and in the morning of the Monaco Yacht Show opening day (27 September), while she makes her racing debut at the Les Voiles de Saint Tropez, where she faces the high competition of the other three Wallycentos. A show not to miss!
The Wally portfolio of yachts under construction includes two sailing yachts, the Wally 145 and the Wally 93 to be launched in May 2019 and in spring 2018 respectively, the fifth unit of the 27 Wallyace, and two 52 wallypowers. Additionally, units of the new Wallytender X are under way.
