The Wally Esense Yacht
The wind threw her to a swallow part of the harbour and the keel hit the bottom. The Esense’s keel is 4 meters when folded and 6 meters when open out.
The yacht had fo be towed with a 2×300 HP pneumatic boat, and it seems she has had no serious damages.
The Esense was built in 2006 by Wally Europe and costs around €15 mill. The owner is a holding of Montenegro and the captain is Mr. Ricardo de Magistris. The yacht is designed to be both classic and modern and to be used by a reduced crew. The deck layout offers a space much like a converted loft apartment giving a huge open cockpit. The stern has the Terrace on the Sea configuration, a large area set at sea level, which can be reached from the main salon. The salon can also be enlarged by incorporating the two guest cabins. The interior design uses paduk wood and metallic white, with exposed matte carbon for the hanging cabinets and a splash of red on some of the joinery.
