by Windelo 19 Aug 2023 04:18 NZST
The first New Windelo, a 50 Yachting, was launched on July 24 and will be unveiled at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2023.
The New Windelo benefits from a magnificent design upgrade and greater autonomy in solar energy. It results from teamwork between our architects (Christophe Barreau and Frederic Newman), designer (Charlotte Schiffer), engineering office, and substantial investment in large molds.
Designed for ocean cruising and circumnavigation, this environmentally friendly 50-foot performance blue water cruiser boasts a racy and stylish look. The New Windelo 50 Yachting benefits from a substantial move upmarket, thanks to significant upgrades to the decks, superstructure, and roof and a reworking of the layout. With its new features and design, the New Windelo 50 gains comfort, style, and autonomy while optimizing weight thanks to reduced composite assemblies.
In terms of comfort, the aft deck has been enlarged to provide an even more comfortable relaxation area, better protected from the sun and rain. Thanks to the new deck design and the large molds, the surfaces are much smoother, as the technical systems and the completely new nonskid surface are directly integrated into the mold for more outstanding durability. With its curved and robust surfaces, this all-new 2023 model boasts a racy, dynamic look, and a stronger personality, while the manufacturing process ensures superb craftsmanship.
The New Windelo 50 Yachting is equipped with 5,680 W solar panels for even greater autonomy and zero emissions while motoring.
This New Windelo 50 Yachting confirms the brand's rising standing while affirming the innovative positioning and recognized performance of Windelo catamarans.
The Windelo team will be delighted to unveil the New Windelo 50 Yachting at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 12 to 17.
