This new model, still equipped with daggerboards, manages to maintain a fairly light displacement and has a manageable sail area - it should be fine to handle without having a professional crew. Having said that, a cabin which is directly accessible from the cockpit, is provided for the skipper. The design, still by the Barreau/Neuman team, is supported by the Stellantis studio: the lines remain close to those of the first Windelos, with slim hulls at the bow and hollowed out at the stern, a very aft-set nacelle, and a helm/maneuvering station at the foot of the mast. Inside, there is curved glazing without uprights and a respectable headroom of 7’2” (2.2 m).
