Windelo 50 For Sale

The Windelo 50 is a 15.24-metre eco sailing catamaran from the innovative French builder Windelo, founded in 2019 with a mission to create environmentally responsible blue-water cruisers. The 50 serves as the entry point to the Windelo range, offering the brand’s full suite of sustainable technologies in its most accessible package.nnConstructed using proprietary basalt fibre and recycled PET/PVC foam sandwich, the Windelo 50 represents a radical departure from conventional fibreglass construction. This eco-conscious hull technology delivers comparable structural performance while significantly reducing environmental impact throughout the vessel’s lifecycle.nnThe hybrid propulsion system features twin 20 kW electric motors powered by a 1,120 Ah battery bank at 48 volts (53.8 kWh total capacity), supplemented by a 17.9 kW generator and 500-litre fuel tank for extended range. Solar panels, hydro-generation from the propellers, and optional wind turbines continuously replenish the batteries, enabling extended periods of emission-free sailing and manoeuvring.nnNaval architects Barreau and Neuman have created a hull form optimised for performance under sail, with a generous 7.95-metre beam providing stability and spacious living areas. Retractable daggerboards deliver a draft range from 1.03 metres to 2.32 metres, balancing shallow-water access with windward sailing efficiency.nnThe Windelo 50 accommodates up to 12 day guests across 4 cabins plus a skipper berth, with CE Category A certification for ocean passages. Available in three versions — Adventure for ocean autonomy, Yachting for comfort and quiet electric cruising, and Sport for performance — prices start from EUR 1,195,000 excluding VAT.
