"With Better Place, once again Wally opens a new route in yacht design and innovation", Bassani enthusiastically announced on May 1st in Ancona during the launch of the world’s largest carbon fibre sloop. According to him, Wally has succeeded in delivering an environmentally friendly breakthrough sailing yacht.

Indeed, they have come up with some very aggressive and sleek lines, created by designer Bill Tripp and his team for the round-the-world cruiser. The vessel boasts innovative concepts including big volumes associated with ultra light displacement, the latest diesel electric propulsion system, a staysail simplified system, a deckhouse with full height windows, a uniquely large open-air living area, a raised bulwark and an aft owner’s stateroom (62 square metres) with portholes and hatches on four sides and direct access to the terrace-on-the-sea. The interior was created by Wetzels Brown in Amsterdam and comprises a total living area of 700 square metres on board – 300 inside and 400 outside.

Furthermore, Better Place is the first sailing yacht that has ever completed the environmental requirements of the RINA Green Star class notation, reserved for ships that are designed, constructed and operated in such a way as to ensure maximum respect for the environment.
