SuperSailYachts Magazine
SY RUNNING ON FAITH (formely known as DARK SHADOW) is a 30.45m Wally 100 sailing yacht designed by Luca Bassani with naval architecture by German Frers. Built in 2002 and refitted and renamed in 2022, she delivers elite racing performance alongside refined, minimalist luxury. Crewed by up to five professionals, RUNNING ON FAITH is equally suited to high-performance regattas and elegant Mediterranean or Caribbean charter cruising.
She embodies the brand’s pure design philosophy: minimalist lines, high performance naval architecture, and a seamless connection between sea, deck, and interior. With her unmistakable Wally profile and racing pedigree, she remains one of the most admired cruiser racers on the Mediterranean circuit.
Yet beyond her regatta credentials, RUNNING ON FAITH transforms effortlessly into a refined, family friendly cruising yacht. Her 2022 interior and exterior refit — followed by an additional living area upgrade in winter 2022–2023 — has elevated her comfort, style, and onboard experience to modern superyacht standards.
