Construction

Sources

Dimensions/displacement/sail area per boat-specs-style aggregator data (LOA 50'1"/15.24m matching the builder's own site, draft 1.03-2.32m board up/down) and the builder's site for beam (7.95m/26'1") and sail area (main 92 sqm, foresail 43 sqm, upwind total 184 sqm). The cited LWL (50 ft) is identical to LOA in the source, which is unusual even for a plumb-bow catamaran -- flagged as a possible source imprecision rather than independently re-verified, but no better figure was found. Hull is a 'basalt and PET/PVC foam sandwich' -- basalt fiber (not glass fiber) is Windelo's signature eco-construction material and doesn't have a distinct option in this dataset's hull_material enum; classified as grp_fiberglass as the closest existing category. Resin type not stated, left not_specified. Standard mast is white lacquered aluminum; a carbon mast/boom upgrade is offered (~$125,000 option) on the Sport version but not used as default. Twin daggerboards. Verified 2026-07-12. [Rudder/tankage/electrical update, 2026-07-16]: Standard propulsion is twin shaft-driven 20kW Beta Marine 48VDC electric motors (with an 18kW diesel generator as a range extender) and a 1,120Ah battery bank -- 48V used as the DC system voltage since it's central to this eco-catamaran's whole propulsion architecture, not just the motors specifically. Carbon rudders/daggerboards are documented for the "Sport" trim variant specifically (17-degree inverted bow); since this dataset's entry doesn't distinguish trim variants, rudder_type/material were left null rather than assumed for the general/Yachting/Adventure trims. No fuel/water/holding-tank capacity or AC-system/switching data found.
