Built to challenge the dominance of the TP52 circuit, Wally’s new 15-metre wallyrocket51 combines lightweight construction, one-design racing and cutting-edge performance engineering in a bold rethink of grand-prix sailing. Grand-prix racing is usually high drama: foam flying, sails straining, carbon slicing through chop. But today it’s flat calm. No spray, no chaos. I’m bone dry. It’s the kind of day that should leave a boat feeling sticky. But the wallyrocket51 isn’t dragging its heels.
