THIS IS AMAZING NEWS!!! The Marine Biologists at Manta Trust confirmed that what we saw today was NOT manta rays, but their close cousins — Mobula tarapacana. Even more incredible: this was the first recorded mating train of this species in French Polynesia, and only the 5th ever documented worldwide! These mobula are seen in the Tuamotus, but in the open ocean. The first two mobulas were females and the second one was pregnant, followed by two males actively chasing them — behavior very similar to manta mating. A rare and thrilling encounter we’ll never forget!

We’re closing out our series with two passionate voices from the Windelo team: Scott and Thomas. 💬💚 Scott, broker for Just Catamarans, shares his love for the renewable energy systems aboard—solar, hydro, and wind—that give Windelo catamarans unmatched autonomy and eco-responsibility. Meanwhile, Thomas highlights the forward cockpit, a feature that enhances safety, visibility, and makes sailing even more intuitive and enjoyable. From day one, our goal has been to combine comfort performance, sustainability, and smart design—and it’s been inspiring to hear what resonates most with our team and community. 👉 What’s your favourite Windelo feature? Let’s keep the conversation going in the comments!

Toni and I had the opportunity to check out the first Seawind 1370 in the United States. We did not think twice and headed up to Sail Away Catamarans to enjoy a demonstration sail on Damsel Fly. The 1370 is only 4 feet longer than the 1260, but it is a very different boat. There were things we liked and things we did not, so like every other boat known to mankind, it comes down to compromises. Like all Seawinds, she sailed very nicely in the low winds.
