Windelo 55 Sport | Heading for the Atlantic! | Multihulls World

► Presented as a world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival… but only at anchor, the Windelo 55 Sport took a little effort to discover! Hull #1 marks a distinctly sportier evolution of the Windelo 54, with considerable work devoted to the appendages, rig and weight. ► The more reverse-raked bows extend the waterline, the daggerboards are 25.6" (65 cm) longer, and new carbon rudders complete the package. ► The rig follows the same philosophy: a carbon mast raised by 3'3" (1 m), Kevlar standing rigging, an extended carbon forward crossbeam and a more generous sail plan. Windelo therefore claims a performance gain of at least 10% compared with the 54. Inside, the drive to reduce weight is reflected in the use of technical materials and a sportier atmosphere, without abandoning the builder’s fundamentals: bio-sourced and recyclable materials and electric propulsion as standard. ► But this first 55 Sport won’t spend long playing the star of the Croisette. Entered in the ARC, it will soon set off from Las Palmas bound for Saint Lucia. This full-scale transatlantic crossing will provide a particularly interesting opportunity to assess the choices made for this new version. Multihulls World will also be along for the ride: we’ll share the atmosphere of this upcoming crossing with you and closely follow the newcomer’s performance. ► Technical Specifications: Builder: Windelo Length Overall: 54'3" (16.54 m) Beam: 26'2" (7.98 m) Draft: 3'5"/9'2" (1.03/2.8 m) Displacement: 12.3 t Sail Area: 1,636 sq ft (152 m²) Powertrain: 2 × 20 kW electric or Dual Propulsion Price: € 1,880,000 ex-tax ► www.windelo-catamaran.com ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now -    / multihullsworld   ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!
