? Full test in Multihulls World N°195: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/new-windelo-50-still-just-as-eco-responsible-but-much-more-attractive ? Almost two years after the launch of the first Windelo - a 50 Adventure that we tested in MW Special Edition #16 - the builders, based at Canet-en-Roussillon in the South of France, are already seeing their initial concept validated: their high-performance and eco-responsible catamarans currently enjoy an order book that's full through 2025... The time has therefore come for Windelo to increase their production capacity (soon 6 units per year). A process which implies in the long term the need to increase the size of the premises and in the immediate future to have deck molds much less greedy in parts (3 as opposed to 21!). The opportunity is therefore perfect to restyle their first two models, the 50 (that will be on show at Cannes) and 54. This mission was logically entrusted to the Barreau/Neuman team, assisted by Charlotte Schiffer. The main idea was to use the wave theme already present on the sides of the hull for the deck. Beyond the cosmetic alterations, the coachroof has been revised to improve drainage and to moderate its square appearance: the forward face has been reworked with two hatches slightly angled aft and inversed. The top of the coachroof now has a "cap" appearance, all the more evident with it now being extended aft. The rear platform and the sugarscoops are also more elegant. The forward cockpit dedicated to sailing maneuvers has been improved. As for the interior, this now respects well-defined color options. ?

No Regrets 2 is now in production and it's incredible to the progress in just a couple of months. We have gone from in the queue since our last visit to out of the mould and a beautiful catamaran.

During the race, the course included a natural obstacle - a small, rocky island. The depths were safe, and the skipper decided to take a tight line around it. But just behind the island, the wind shifted unexpectedly, and a sudden gust drove the yacht's bow straight toward the rocks. With minimal room to maneuver, the skipper reacted quickly and managed to regain control. However, in the process of steering clear, the keel scraped against the rocks. The result: a few scratches and the loss of half the team's security deposit. A hard lesson learned - always keep a safe distance from the rocks! #PAPARegatta #PAPARegatta2021 #TheArtOfSailing #ArtOfSailing #DangerousRocks #RocksCrash #CroatiaSailing #CroatiaYachting #SailingRace #SailingFails
