New Windelo 54 Yachting - Official guided tour

[@CalebLeverett]

Stunning boat. I’m a career diesel mechanic and I’ve never been sold on electric cars, but this catamaran blew my mind. WOW. My new favorite.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

You should take a look at the work being done by Edison motors of BC Canada with there Topsy HD Hybrid electric logging trucks and light trick conversions ..They use SAAB generator engines but all propulsion is electric. SAAB have also produced a hybrid 55kn Al patrol boat that uses their own electric motors and massive V8 diesels. These Yatchs are brilliant for their performance and energy gathering and production technology. Wonderful balance of design Environmental solutions and technology... What a way to live and travel.

Great presentation by a very likeable and believable presenter. Lovely looking cat, smart practical design features....yum yum!

[@ArtemPaulson]

Seriously, this has become my favorite catamaran. Kudos to the team for setting new standards in yachting!

[@raymondarend]

I watch Windelo videos over and over for two years now. It has taken over my dreams of sailing full time.

[@windelocatamaran6969]

Sailling is a wonderfull passion, we are happy to participate in your'.

[@TobyLovesLife]

Thank you Sam! It is so nice to listen to you as you sound like an experienced and humble sailor rather than an annoying boat show tourist or a salesman spouting sensationalist nonsense. Really enjoyed this video.

[@carsonc1272]

It's nice to see a boat that has been well thought out. I like the generator/electric motor setup. I feel like the industry will eventually follow... Someday

[@The442nd]

It gets better?!?! Wow! it was already awesome

[@BartLogic]

Great job guys! Happy to be part of this project with the supply of the electric propulsion system!

[@darrellpugh6186]

Best Tour of a Windelo ! I like the demonsration/explanation of the Basalt and P.E.T. Very Well Done ! 😎

[@windelocatamaran6969]

Thank you so much, it is realy appreciable to see that what we do is useful.

[@EduardS-b7y]

My dream cat!!, best one I have ever seen

[@paraweir]

Beautiful, Iove the forward bridge, good idea...

[@windelocatamaran6969]

Thank you so much, so glad that you love it.

[@leos8720]

The best cat ever.. good video... congratulations

[@windelocatamaran6969]

Thank you so much.

[@noone-ld7pt]

This is my dream boat. If I ever stumble on a couple of million dollars this is my first purchase.

[@windelocatamaran6969]

Thank you we are so glad to hear it !!! If you have the opportunity to join us on a boat show, it will be a pleasure to welcome you onboard!

[@bahamasking2063]

That is a very Beautifully made catamaran.

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

My dream catamaran perfected. You have managed to fix my few hick-ups, not least the former flimsy solution to enclose the forward cockpit and helm position, which now seems much more substantial and also the fact, that you have now fitted a full size washer/ dryer. Yeah, I hate hand washing or going to a laundry, and guess, what you have to do, if you do not have a great washing solution on your boat. I definitely would chose and owners version with the office space forward, instead of that overkill bathroom/ head, as the former version, that Nautistyles made a good review on. I also just simply liked those central heads in that version better, and it is very popular to use that much space on bathrooms in modern catamarans, but to me it is just a bit wasted space. An office space always would be a good thing though. Now I just need to win that lottery!

[@lorenzoplacidi2497]

My dream boat😍

[@TheEdge92]

I just had a thought about these center bridge cockpits on cats. Doesn't it highly increase the risk of getting hit by lightning arcs if sailing through a thunder/lightning storm if you are constantly sitting in a radius of like 1.5m from the mast?

[@thiagolacerda5595]

The helm’s proximity to the mast on the Windelo should not significantly increase danger during a lightning strike if the boat is properly grounded and you take basic precautions like avoiding metal surfaces. The indoor helm setup provides more safety than being outdoors during a storm, and as long as the lightning protection system is functional, you should be safe.

[@skrbosmrdic2003]

what would be the annual maintaining trough years? your estimate if nothing went wrong or sideways,thank you for answering upfront!😊

[@windelocatamaran6969]

Hello @skrbosmrdic2003 If we count maintenance of the generator and the watermaker once per year depending on use, it is possible to range 1500-2500€ of yearly regular maintenance

[@Rodrifuuu]

Would cork not work as a core material?

[@Zenorenozeno]

Bonjour et franchement bravo le catamaran ultime, j'ai juste une question qui me préoccupe c'est le matériau de la coque, comparativement au coque en fibres où plastique où même aluminium pouvez vous me dire s'il est aussi résistant où mieux que certains matériaux que je viens d'énumérer ci dessus ? Histoire de me faire une idée approximative, j'aimerais une réponse bien précise pour me décider, merci à vous. Également pouvez vous rajouter une éolienne supplémentaire ainsi que plus de panneaux solaires ? Et si oui combien de watts supplémentaires sont éventuellement possible, également pouvez-vous rajouter un congélateur supplémentaire où un frigo merci cordialement a.c

[@windelocatamaran6969]

Bonjour, notre éco-composite en fibre de basalte et en mousse PET nous permet d'avoir une coque légère et durable, tout en ne négligeant pas la robustesse qui est un élément très important pour les catamarans. La fibre de basalte offre également une résistance unique au feu, à la chaleur et aux produits chimiques, ainsi que des propriétés mécaniques élevées de 12 à 15% par rapport à la fibre de verre. Cette alliance entre mousse PET et fibre de basalte, qui est le coeur de notre composite, nous permet d'avoir des bateaux légers, sans perdre en résistance. Concernant les énergies renouvelables à bord, le bateau peut être équipé de 2 éoliennes maximum, offrant 400W de puissance par unité, et de panneaux solaires allant jusqu'à 5 880W. Pour les équipements à bord, vous pouvez ajouter, au choix, un congélateur de 90L ou un second réfrigérateur de 130L. Si vous avez d'autres questions, n'hésitez pas à contacter notre équipe : [e-mail]

[@Zenorenozeno]

@@windelocatamaran6969 ok d'accord pour le basalte en cas de casse peut t'on faire réparer n'importe où facilement étant donné que ce soit le seul catamaran à être construit ainsi merci ? Pour le reste je contacterai vôtre support

[@AntoineGrondin]

What's the price range? Love the layout.

[@windelocatamaran6969]

The starting price is 1 380 000€ EX-VAT.

[@brandonmcheyenehoward1077]

WoW

[@Hanna_Julie-k3c]

It would be better if the front door could use hard material and be locked for more security

[@gokugon3753]

Ok this boat looks nearly perfect, specially about cabins, those cabins bathrooms were like hotel rooms really amazing i love this boat but we need real test videos, we need to see sailors crossing ocean or just some long distances with in different weather conditions, we need to see this boat in all kind of waves, we need to see real usage of these code 0, geneaker or other sails with real wind performance, we need to see those electric motors, hydro generations performance in long distances so in brief the boat looks like dream but i couldn't find real performance test videos on internet

[@windelocatamaran6969]

Hi @gokugon3753 thank you for your comment and we are really happy that you appreciate our catamarans. We are still working on some long-distance performance sailing videos and hope to share some of them in the coming months. Some of our videos can illustrate a part of what you are looking for. Have you seen them yet? - About performance sailing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIeonKukf9SWf9U - Sailing in different weather conditions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2G6d2qIrdSji9U - We don’t have videos with long distance under motors but to have more information on our electric motors and hydrogeneration system you can start watching this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJbQg2x4gNxpfLc - And a boat owner testimonial to have there feeling 😉: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIuvmmtnaquBracsi=YFKFcq6oh8KRsKl8 Hope this is helpful, and stay tuned for more videos ⌛

[@gokugon3753]

Thanks for your reply. I have already watched these videos and more. I have already watched all the Windello 54 videos on the internet, and I want more. Your boat is amazing. I am in love with Windello 54, and I want to see more videos, especially real owners crossing or some long distance videos. Windello 54 is probably the best catamaran in the world. She is so beautiful, with an with an elegant design, a full open salon, an integrated front desk, and perfect cabins. Everything is perfect. I would like to see your trimarans in the same design. I think it can be perfect. Just imagine the Windello 54, but the trimaran can give more stability and speed, and if you can add a diesel engine to the same exact setup, it can be ready for every situation. I would love to see some kind of project from your company.

[@Fenestron]

Have there been any changes to the solar and battery options with this newer model 54?

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

I don't think so but in the cockpit roof redesign they increased the roof are so there's more solar space than the early 50 but as each Windelo fit out is semi custom I know there's options for more battery storage. And the same motor manufacturer does offer other motors with higher power outputs.. The principle is that most of the time you don't need to use them as you can sail in 4-5 knots. ..and the generator running at Stoichiometric optimum means you save up to 30% fuel compared to direct diesels.

[@windelocatamaran6969]

Thank you for your comment, with this New model, you can have up to 5890W of solar panels. Battery rang still the same, but you will recharge them faster!! Do not hesitate to contact us if you have additionnal questions ;)

Absolutely fantastic boat.... but we humans aren't sustainable and will never be.....

[@BoniswaZingitwa]

I,maMother. Of 5)

[@flowaskis]

I really appreciate the content, but sadly, I think the presenter lets this otherwise excellent review down. Perhaps he could stick to writing the script, as the content is really good? Unfortunately, I find his mumbling, stumbling and Peston-like gappy articulation difficult listening. Or, do more retakes and edits to cut down the stutters and mumbles? That could work.

[@noone-ld7pt]

I personally found it endearing. There are enough perfectly edited hype channels out there, I enjoyed hearing a normal presentation of the boat and not someone being artificially overexcited by every single detail. But hey, it's all subjective right?

[@flowaskis]

@@noone-ld7pt I agree that it is nice to have an authentic presentation but, to me, it would be preferable to have a smoother delivery. I think the content is excellent.

[@hendryyyutube]

nice to have less "mood" music as well.
