Who wants to pedal up
a sweat on an Amalfi clifftop
when you can keep your
cool on an electric bike? The
Vintage Electric Tracker has
classic style, the Kensington
by Volt, above, is pretty in
pastel blue and the Bicicletto
by SPA has space-aged chic.Footfall
A glut of tourists sucks
the romance out of
even the prettiest
postcard town – and
erodes its historic
gems. Cinque Terre, on
the Italian Riviera, is
pushing back, reducing
visitor numbers from
2.5 to 1.5 million a year.Gaudy gloss
“Hi-gloss, varnished
teak exterior furniture.
Stain it, oil it, lacquer
it. Just don’t give it
that ginger 1970s look,”
says Dickie Bannenberg

Wally’s cool, modern exterior lines will be matched with
cutting-edge construction and high style interiors in
its fourth 30.48 metre WallyCento. The sailing yacht is
in-build at Persico Marine, known for composite work
and for several recent America’s Cup and Volvo Ocean
Race projects. Italian studio Pininfarina – famous for
the lines of Ferraris such as the 250 GT
(left) – has penned the interiors, with carbon fibre and light wood. The
WallyCento#4 is due for launch in summer 2017. wally.comMAKE LIGHT OF

If your idea of a perfect summer
on board involves more
boom-ducking than sunbathing,
your suitcase should be bulging
with Musto’s new Solent range.
The Solent jacket, in waterproof
and breathable Gore-Tex,
is a keep-forever classic. The
lightweight cover-up is great
in spray or light rain and dries
out in super-quick time. It has
a storable, two-way, adjustable
hood and plenty of zip-secured
pockets, while the navy tone with
neon highlights will make you look
like a pro, even if you end up
in the water. musto.comWeb wonderlands
