Dus... ik zat van de week
The Island te kijken... geen hoogstaande film verder maar goed... Ewan McGregor heeft wel een heel gaaf bootje in deze film.

Ik ging er eigenlijk vanuit dat het een CGI creatie of een omgebouwde echte boot was. Maar wat blijkt; Dat ding bestaat echt!

118 WallyPower was created by Wally Yachts. The 118 is a narrow, angular, black-glass-housed superluxury go-fast yacht. It is 118 feet long and is capable of reaching speeds as fast as 60 knots (70 mph, 110 km/h). It is capable of this feat due to three Rolls-Royce gas turbines generating 16,800HP, also equipped with drive water jets, two steerable outboard and a non-steering on centerline. The steerable water jets are powered by two diesel engines of 370HP each. The 118 WallyPower won the MYDA, Millennium Yacht Design Award.
The WallyPower is also being honoured by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as the sole boat in its major architecture and design exhibition
The cost of the 118 Wallypower is US$24.83 million for the triple gas turbines or $16.55 million for the twin diesels only. It has a range of 1 500 miles at 9 knots, or 300 miles at 60 knots. The fuel capacity of the 118 is 22,000 liters or 5812 gallons. If the gas turbine engines are all out, the 118 WallyPower uses 14 gallons for every mile at 60 knots. At this rate it uses 951 gallons an hour. The displacement of the 118 WallyPower is 95 tons. It can accommodate 6 guests and 6 crew.
