Spirit of Malouen X
Wally Cento
Overview
The Wally Cento "Spirit of Malouen X" represents the highest level of modern performance yacht design—an uncompromising fusion of speed, style and cutting-edge engineering.
Built for owners who demand the exhilaration of grand-prix sailing without sacrificing comfort or refinement, she delivers a rare blend of race-winning potential and luxurious cruising capability, all under the exclusive Wally brand.
A full carbon construction, powerful sail plan and impeccably optimised deck layout, Spirit of Malouen X is as formidable on the racecourse as she is effortless to handle offshore.

History
Originally built as the 100ft Wally Cento "Hamilton", she then became "Open Season" and now "SOM X".
During her time as "Open Season" she was extended to 107ft overall off the back of a performance study from designer Judel Vrolijk. This has led to a substantial performance increase, whilst hugely increasing aft deck lounging space, along with improved handling and capabilities offshore.
Materials
"Spirit of Malouen X" (SOM) is constructed entirely of carbon fibre and largely using pre-preg fibres with a Nomex honeycomb core, ensuring the stiffest and lightest solution possible.
In addition to her carbon hull, all structural beams and frames are also made in carbon, as are her lightweight interior panels, which are finished with wood veneers where appropriate.
During her construction every care and design decision was focussed around creating something that could deal with extreme loadings, as are the performance requirements for a race yacht, without any material compromise on interior spaces or layout.
Care and Preparation
"SOM X" is importantly a boat and design that has been conceived by sailors, for sailors.
She has been given the highest level of professional care since her original launching and follows a periodic service plan, as these boats typically require.
The boat is typically handled by a crew of 3 for day to day use and can be sailed in cruising mode with only one or two more.
In full regatta mode crew levels will be in the order of 19-22 depending on conditions and events, whilst a few less when in offshore mode, although that could be dramatically reduced with some small sail handling changes.
Currently moored in Marina Del Mar, Palma, she has a permanent berth available.
Rig
SOM X is fitted with a custom mast and boom package from Southern Spars, built entirely in Carbon fibre.

Performance Yachts
Raised in Poole Harbour in the UK, where a lifelong affinity with the water and in particular sailing, began early. Those formative years led me through the RYA youth dinghy squads and into match racing and high-level yacht racing during and after university, experiences that shaped the foundations of my career in the marine world.
My early professional years were spent in yacht racing and project management before I found the natural intersection of both in performance yacht sales. From the moment I completed my first sale, I knew It was a career I wanted to pursue.
An engineering degree in Yacht and Powercraft Design gave me a strong understanding of what defines a yacht beneath the surface. Combined with practical knowledge gained on the water, it enables me to advise clients with clarity, discretion, and confidence when selecting a yacht that truly aligns with their ambitions.
For the past 15 years, I have been the driving force behind performance yacht sales at Ancasta, where I established the division, built a respected brand identity, and secured a reputation as a market leader in the sector. During that time, I have overseen more than £40 million in sales revenue.
I believe exceptional yacht sales are built on trust, market insight, technical understanding, and absolute discretion. My approach is highly personal and detail-driven, ensuring every yacht and every client receives the attention, care, and professionalism they deserve.
Longstanding relationships with leading designers, shipyards, engineers, finance providers, insurers, and international shipping specialists allow me to offer a seamless service across both bespoke new builds and carefully selected brokerage yachts.
For me, the greatest satisfaction comes from guiding a client from an initial chat, to seeing the boat launched and sailed for the very first time.
