I much rather have one of those flying bikes, from the movie, than the yacht.

[uh_huh]

ya, that would be better.

I've been through over 30 mega-yacht manufacturer websites, the one and only website with a media area with high-res pictures is Wally, and you need to be an accredited media member in order to access them, none of the other websites had anything unfortunately.

A couple do have a press section. Don't ask me how I know.
Wally are a bitch though, was never able to get access. Damn them. I love their boats soooo bad.

Launching of the 118 WallyPower

At noon of Saturday November 30, 2002 during a private ceremony at Rodriquez yard Intermarine, Italy Geraldina, the 14 year-old-daughter of Wally President Luca Bassani, successfully smashed the champagne bottle on the hull of the first 118 WallyPower, the breakthrough motor yacht conceived by Wally, the Monaco-based company known world wide for its innovative sailing boats.

The project has followed an intensive and exceptional Research & Development programme that involved specialised facilities (like SSPA in Sweden, the Ferrari Wind Tunnel Facility) to test the new features of the yacht. As a result, the 118-foot (36-meter) WallyPower stands out for her technology as well as for her contemporary design.

The construction of this high perfomance megayacht is in advanced composites. The propulsion system includes three gas turbines Detroit Diesel generating 16,800 HP and 60 knots of speed, and two auxiliary diesel engines (Cummins of 370 Hp each) for the manoeuvring, and for long range delivery at 9 knots of speed.
The gas turbines are equipped with titanium exhausts to provide for light weight and resistance to the system high temperature, and to allow the cooling the gas turbines with sea water. The hi-tech exhaust system of the 118 WallyPower has been developed by the official supplier of the Swedish Navy.

The grey-green metallic colour of the hull contributes to the appeal of the 118 WallyPower that features unique lines enhancing her nautical characteristics, and a glass superstructure exploiting the Wally concept of inside-outside living spaces. The superstructure is built in carbon fiber and covered by laminated glass, and conceals in the top section the navigation radars and antennas in the navy style.

The forward deck of the yacht features the cockpit with a large bimini and pop-up tables and sliding seats: this system provides the opportunity to modify the layout according to various situations and requirements, from dining into sun-bathing or into living area. The large tender garage with lifting door is also in the forward deck, and serves as an open-air gym as well.
The sections of the bulwarks alongside the superstructure, fold down to broaden the view from the salon, and to serve as a diving platform. The aft sliding gangway serves as very large passerelle when completely extended and as swimming ladder when folded .

The technical launch of the 118 WallyPower is followed by the dock trial programme that includes the start up and running of the general and propulsion systems. The dock trials will be over at the end of December, when the yacht is moved to La Spezia for the sea-trials and the installation of the interiors.
