Did you know that on board a Windelo, you can run the air conditioning using ONLY renewable energies? Many of you plan to sail in a tropical hot and humid climate, and you hesitate to install an AC on your boat. Even though our catamarans are built to have ample airflow throughout the boat, you might still seek even more comfort. You will be pleased to learn that, on your Windelo, you can run your AC from batteries (without using the genset!). Both models of New Windelo (the 50 and the 54) offer you enough solar power to run it from renewable energies, not using a drop of fossil fuel or plugging into shore! If you were, last week at the Miami International Boat Show, you had the opportunity to visit Joules, a New Windelo 50. But did you know that Joule produced its energy during the show thanks to the solar panels (an average of 3.4 kWh) and consumed 1.3 kWh of energy (leaving a positive balance of 1.6 kWh)? It is interesting to point out that this consumption also included the AC, fridge, and freezer! So, with the New Windelo, when choosing the AC option for your more tropical adventures, your energy will still come solely from renewable resources! Whenever you search for even more energy, activate the hydro-generation when you are sailing under sail, and you can also choose the wind turbine(s) as the energy source. Contact us to configure your boat according to your sailing program: sales@windelo-catamaran.com! We will be delighted to learn more about your sailing dreams! âŠâŠâŠ Saviez-vous qu'Ă bord d'un Windelo, vous pouvez faire fonctionner la climatisation en utilisant UNIQUEMENT des Ă©nergies renouvelables ? Vous ĂȘtes nombreux Ă envisager de naviguer en zone tropicale avec un climat chaud et humide, et hĂ©sitez Ă installer une climatisation sur votre bateau. MĂȘme si nos catamarans sont construits pour offrir une circulation d'air suffisante dans tout le bateau, vous recherchez peut-ĂȘtre encore plus de confort. Vous serez heureux d'apprendre que, sur votre Windelo, vous pouvez faire fonctionner votre climatisation uniquement Ă partir de vos batteries (soit sans utiliser le groupe Ă©lectrogĂšne !). Les New Windelo (le 50 et le 54) vous offrent suffisamment d'Ă©nergie solaire pour que la climatisation et vos Ă©lĂ©ments de confort fonctionnent grĂące aux Ă©nergies renouvelables, sans utiliser une goutte de combustible fossile et sans se brancher sur le quai ! Si vous Ă©tiez la semaine derniĂšre au Miami International Boat Show, vous avez eu l'occasion de visiter Joules, un New Windelo 50. Mais saviez-vous que Joule Ă©tait autonome en Ă©nergie durant tout le salon ? GrĂące aux panneaux solaires Joule produisait en moyenne 3,4 kWh et consommait 1,3 kWh (soit un bilan Ă©nergĂ©tique positif de 1,6 kWh). Il est intĂ©ressant de souligner que cette consommation incluait notamment la climatisation, le rĂ©frigĂ©rateur et le congĂ©lateur ! Ainsi, avec le New Windelo, en choisissant l'option AC pour vos aventures les plus tropicales, vous serez autonome grĂące Ă votre production d'Ă©nergie renouvelable ! Et quand vos besoins d'Ă©nergie augmentent, activez le mode hydro-gĂ©nĂ©ration lorsque vous naviguez sous voiles, et/ou choisissez lâoption Ă©olienne(s) comme source d'Ă©nergie. Contactez-nous pour configurer votre bateau selon votre programme de navigation : sales@windelo-catamaran.com ! Nous serons ravis dâen apprendre plus sur vos rĂȘves de navigation ! * * * * * #windelo #windelocatamaran #ecocatamaran #NewWindelo50 #NewWindelo54 #NewWindelo50Adventure #NewWindelo50Yachting #NewWindelo54Yachting #solarboat #solarboats #greensailing #sustainablesailing #electricsailing #circumnavigation #responsibletravel #ecofriendlylifestyle #ecofriendlyproduct #ecofriendlydesign #electricboat #electriccatamaran #hybridboat #hybridyacht #sailboat #sailing #sailingaroundtheworld #sailingboat #sailinglife #sailinglifestyle #sailinglover #sailingpassion
Last night a full gale blew across Buren Bay. From Mitsuâs old house near the shore I listened to the wind roll over the roof and wondered how Wahine was handling it out on the mooring.
