Sailing in harmony with nature while minimizing our ecological footprint requires innovative technical developments and a stronger commitment to ecology through more sustainable energy management. Our boats are designed to be self-sufficient and produce their own electricity.
But what is the real story?
Can green energy alone cover the needs of a boat offering all modern conveniences—on-board electronics, heating, air conditioning, household appliances, etc.? It all boils down to how you use a Windelo catamaran and its equipment.
Energy autonomy varies according to the lifestyle and habits of each individual user. However, aboard Windelo catamarans, comfortable eco-friendly sailing is a reality.
Our cutting-edge catamarans blend high performance with eco-friendly design, incorporating a powerful, robust, and efficient electric propulsion system.
"Energy production is at the heart of our concept. Windelo catamarans harness wind power and solar energy to meet all your requirements aboard. With a continuous supply of renewable electricity, they provide genuine energy autonomy, paving the way for truly eco-friendly sailing." - Gautier Kauffmann
Hydro-generation
While sailing at speeds over 8 knots, Windelo’s electric engines act as hydro-generators producing energy continuously.
The boat’s speed generates a water flow that rotates the propellers, similar to wind turbines. So, every mile sailed helps recharge the battery bank.
Solar panels
The superstructures of the New Windelo have been designed to integrate the highest possible number of solar cells. For optimal performance, we have chosen one of the best solar technologies on the market.
The roof and deck of the New Windelo can accommodate up to 6,000 W of solar panels, guaranteeing continuous energy production for extended autonomy at sea.
Durable, custom-made, flexible panels enable seamless integration, ensuring optimal performance and unobstructed movement in circulation areas.
