Tout sur : Windelo 54

Almost two years after the launch of the first Windelo - a 50 Adventure that we tested in MW Special Edition #16 - the builders are already seeing their initial concept validated: their high-performance and eco-responsible catamarans currently enjoy an order book that’s full through 2025... 

Windelo 54 is the big sistership to the 50. Only slightly heavier, but with significantly more canvas, the yard promises 20 knots. This Christophe Barreau design features a very aft-set nacelle – yet open to the cockpit – and a helm station set forward. The 54 is be available with fixed keels or daggerboards. As with the 50, three versions are being offered by Windelo: the Adventure is designed for exploration and discovery, the Sport optimizes speed while the Yachting emphasizes comfort. In every aspect, materials, construction processes and engines are designed to reduce the impact on the environment. Full test in Special Issue #19.
