The Windelo spirit: eco-friendly catamarans Located in Canet-en-Roussillon since 2019, Windelo catamaran is a young shipyard that builds eco-friendly, performant, innovative, and comfortable catamarans.Inspired by deep family values and passion for nautical activities, Olivier Kauffmann and his son Gautier Kauffmann created Windelo in 2018. In partnership with researchers from Mines d’Alès, a renowned engineering school in France, they carried out several years of Research and Development to build environmentally-friendly catamarans. “ Windelo sailors crave adventure and love to explore. We...

WINDELO 54 Bigger sister of the Windelo 50, the Windelo 54 is an ocean-cruising catamaran designed by architect duo Christophe Barreau and Fréderic Neuman. The floats are nearly 120 cm larger than Windelo 50 (60 cm of this extra space is around the nacelle), making life on board even more pleasant and comfortable. Our Windelo 54 catamarans are environmentally friendly, seaworthy, and designed for long-distance cruising. Lengthened hulls offer greater performance and speed under sail while improving cruising comfort, particularly in rough seas. Available in 3 versions: ADVENTURE / YACHTING /...

Recycled and bio-sourced materials BASALT FIBERS Basalt – yes, that’s right, the byproduct of a volcanic eruption – became thefactor that solved the mystery of how to build a light, sustainable hull. Basalt fibers have been produced for many years now (in wind turbines, for instance), but Windelo is among the first to use them in yacht construction. Basalt rock is one of the main constituents of the ocean crust and is an abundant resource. No additives are needed to transform it, which reduces carbon emissions by ten. We primarily use basalt fiber in the structure of our boats. Basalt is a...

Transformation into basalt fiber Basalt is the most common type of volcanic rock on earth. Basalt fiber is a natural product made from basalt stone with no additives required. Basalt fiber has unique fire, heat and chemical resistance, along with higher mechanical properties from 12 % to 15 % than glass fiber. Basalt fiber is 100 % recyclable. It can be remelted in a furnace and rewoven. Environmental impact, energy: 91.5 kg glass = 1,000 kg basalt Environmental impact, carbon: 115 kg glass = 1,000 kg basalt Energy consumed over 40 years: CO2 consumed over 40 years: Implementation of...

Electric hybrid drive system & production of green energies Building a boat that is efficient, comfortable, and in harmony with nature is the essence of the Windelo spirit. To achieve this, using an electric drive system is essential, but it is also crucial to have an extensive navigation range. Autonomous in green energy, the Windelo is equipped with an electric hybrid drive system. This motorization consists of two 20 kW electric engines, a battery bank of 1 120 Ah in 48 V as well as different charging solutions: Flexible or rigid solar panels from 600 to 4 500 W, for a complete charge of...

Performance All the Windelo catamarans are recognizable by their impeccable slim, wellbalanced hull, designed by Christophe Barreau and Frédéric Neuman to enhance performance and seaworthiness. Built for the pleasure of sailing and exploring, they permit a better performance than other catamarans of this size. The well-contained proportions of the nacelle compliment the very slender floats. With a bridgedeck clearance of 90 cm, the nacelle is positioned further aft to improve the boat’s passage through the sea. Good weight centering and good taut lines lessen movement when pitching – a true...
