Announced a year ago, the Windelo range promises light, spacious, and pleasant to sail catamarans with their interior/exterior sailing cockpit, and which are eco-responsible - built in basalt fiber to halve the ecological impact of the multihull’s structure.
The first models available for sale are the Windelo 50 and the Windelo 54. Both are available in three versions: Adventure, Yachting and Sport. The construction of the first model, a 50, began in November - the installation of the interior fittings and equipment is under way, with launch scheduled for July 2020. The catamaran under construction can be seen right now at the Windelo shipyard in Canet-en-Roussillon in the South of France. “This new 1,600 m² (17,200 sq ft) building integrates our design and engineering office, a composite workshop, a workshop for manufacturing the fittings and the boat manufacturing area,” explains Thomas Praliaud, Windelo's Sales and Marketing Manager. “This first phase of the factory allows an annual production of around ten catamarans per year. The factory is designed in a modular way and will be able to expand rapidly as the range grows and sales increase”.
