The final racing calendar for the 2014 season has been confirmed by the Wally Class, representing the largest fleet of performance yachts over 24 metres.

The new addition to the traditional racing circuit is the first edition of the Menorca Maxi Regatta, an event specifically created for Wallys and J Class yachts, that will take place in the beautiful Balearic Island, and supported by the Government of Menorca.
The close competition will engage participants and spectators: this year the Wally fleet is scheduled to display between eight and 12 yachts on the starting line of the different events, offering a unique and spectacular sight of the highest performance sailing cruisers. Everybody is looking forward to the exciting and close racing!
Due to the exceptional performance of Wally yachts and their resulting competitive advantage, the Wally Class is part of the IMA (International Maxi Association) and is recognised internationally as a division of the world’s most important Superyacht regattas.
