The Windelo 59 Sport is the upcoming performance variant of the Windelo 58, following the established Sport formula of carbon fibre structural reinforcement, extended daggerboards, lightweight carbon mast with Kevlar rigging, and 3D membrane sails. While full specifications are yet to be published, the 59 Sport is expected to deliver the same approximately 10 percent performance improvement over the standard model that characterises the existing 51 and 55 Sport variants.nnAs with its smaller siblings, the 59 Sport will feature a lengthened waterline and reduced displacement compared to the base 58, enhancing speed potential and windward performance while maintaining the eco-friendly basalt and recycled PET/PVC foam construction that defines Windelo.nnThe 59 Sport represents the Sport treatment applied to the larger 9.48-metre beam platform, offering performance-oriented sailors a substantial ocean-going catamaran with genuine racing heritage. Further details and pricing are expected as the model progresses toward production readiness.

Life on board a Sport model always shifts toward the sailor rather than the sunbather.
Windelo has kept the formula consistent across the 51 and 55 Sport, and the 59 Sport is expected to follow it onto the larger 58 platform: lighter interior fittings, a more engaged helm position and a cockpit laid out for trimming rather than lounging. The brief behind every Sport model has been the same, deliver a genuine step up in pace without asking the crew to give up the comfort that makes the standard boat liveable for weeks at a time. On a hull this size, that balance matters more, since there is more boat to move and more systems to keep light.
Her shape will tell the story before the specification sheet does.
Like her smaller Sport siblings, the 59 Sport is expected to carry a lengthened waterline and a sharper hull profile than the standard 58, the same wavepiercer logic Windelo has already applied twice over to cut through swell rather than climb it. A taller carbon mast and extended daggerboards, carried over from the Sport formula, point to a boat drawn for upwind pace rather than at anchor presence. The basalt fibre and recycled PET and PVC foam construction remains unchanged from the rest of the range, keeping the environmental case intact even as the performance ambitions grow.
Weight saving, not horsepower, is still where this shipyard looks for speed.
Carbon fibre runs through the structural reinforcement, the extended daggerboards and the tall rig, following the same approach that trimmed real weight off the 55 Sport against its own base model. Kevlar rigging and membrane sails replace the standard cloth and wire fitted to the cruising 58, trimming weight aloft where it matters most to stability and handling. The electric and hybrid drivetrain that already powers the rest of the Windelo range carries over unchanged, so the performance gain is expected to come entirely from the hull and rig rather than from added power.
Accommodation details are among the figures still to be confirmed.
Windelo has not yet published cabin or guest numbers for the 59 Sport, though she is built on the same 9.48 metre beam platform as the 58, which carries five cabins and a dedicated skipper’s berth in its standard form. The Sport treatment elsewhere in the range has tended to lighten interior fittings rather than reduce accommodation, replacing solid joinery with lighter materials to save weight without cutting into cabin space. Expect a similar approach here: the width and volume of the 58 retained, dressed in a lighter, more performance oriented interior.
Buying into the 59 Sport right now means buying into a proven formula rather than a finished yacht.
Naval architects Christophe Barreau and Frederic Neuman, and stylists Stellantis Design Studio, carry their work on the 58 straight across to this Sport variant, so the design pedigree is already established even while the finished specification is not. Windelo has applied the same transformation twice before, on the 51 and 55, and delivered a tangible performance gain each time without asking owners to give up the construction and electric drivetrain that define the brand. For a buyer willing to commit ahead of full specification, the 59 Sport offers a seat at the front of a range that has, so far, delivered on what it promises.
