Wally 118 Wallypower

A film about the Wally 118 in french.

The Wallypower uses three DDC TF50s (maritime cousins of the Chinook helicopter engine) driving three KaMeWa waterjets with a total of 20.000 hp for high speed and two diesel engines for everything else - common on small warships, but rare on yachts.

The turbine engine brings the boat up to a top speed of 90 knots. The only downside is, is that the boat uses 3500 liters of fuel per hour.

The 118 is made entirely from carbon fibre, even the toilet seat and the dining table is made out of carbon fibre.
The boat has room for six guests in three en suite staterooms and six crew.

There is a more conventional engine option as well: twin 3,650-hp MTU 4000 V16 diesels, which Bassani claims will give the boat a 45-knot top speed and around a 40-knot cruise speed. Go for these, and youll also save about $8 million on the asking price (which is $16.55 million when the yacht is equipped with twin diesels, $24.83 million as tested, with triple gas turbines).

@hobbsshouldpvp Each to their own

[piratetype]

@q8ity7 Translated the plot ;)

well, when you are rich enough to afford the ship, you should be able to handle the gas.

BTW, it's a nice boat, but I'll rather have the Pershing 115 with central gas turbine and additional diesels. Top speed at 55 knots, much prettier, and much more "accessible"

[bik3man1]

90 knots? The top speed of the Wally 118 is 60 knots. Still fast, though.

reventon on sea.

Perfect design? Its so ugly. Looks like those boats they used in Normandy Campaign in WW2.

English please!

@Justworkcanada I actually work for Vericor Power Systems, the company that designs/manufactures the gas turbines-- These TF50 gas turbine engines are rated at 5600shp, for a grand total of 16,800 horsepower.

@33Barker and why would he be bored with a Luxurious, stealth designed, superyacht that does 60 knots?

[ricomon35]

@juvenileflyer - You think any shitty Somaly Pirate Frigate could catch the 118? Get real :)

[ricomon35]

@jvaqueiro - Really? I was unaware of Military Jails that look like Navy Stealth boats? Also, at this size it's still a Boat, not a ship, and hardly to classed with any Big Ship... :)
