Exterior design in line with the Wally
Built in Faho, Italy, the Wally Esense 143 measures over 43.7 meters, weighs approximately 140 tons, has a cruising speed of 14 knots under power and has 836 m2 of sails. This maxi-yacht was built in full respect of the Wally line with a streamlined hull, flush decks and a minimalist interior. Almost entirely built in carbon âeuros sails 3DL, mast and hull âeuros the Esence 143 possesses the characteristics that have made the shipyard famous: powerful design, pure lines, exclusivity but also teak for comfort and high-tech for performance. On the other hand, it keeps its guiding line in which the spaces play an important role, especially the exchanges between the interior and the exterior. Its aggressive look evokes the America's Cup Class and the year of its construction, it is the only Wally as big, twice as big as its brothers.
Comfortable, modern and sleek interior design
The Esense is first and foremost a prodigious design and huge dimensions. The deck of 180 m2 is entirely usable as an open cockpit of 43 meters long. You can move everywhere. At sea level, at the stern, a 21 m2 terrace is accessible directly from inside the boat. Inside, once again, the spaces have been enhanced and allow free movement and great comfort. There are three crew cabins including a captain's suite. On the owner's side, there is a large suite with king size bed and large private bathroom and three guest cabins which, thanks to sliding walls, can be transformed into a separate room or enlarge the salon. They are all equipped with private showers and toilets. In the living room, the large table can accommodate twelve people and a huge bay window allows a breathtaking view of the sea.
A great comfort has also been brought to the handling of the Wally 143: advanced hydraulic system, automation of the controls that allows one person to manage the navigation and to furl the mainsail in less than 3 minutes, retractable keel reducing the draught from 6 to 4 meters.
