For our Garcia Exploration 45 we decided to stick with the standard gas cooker, to maximise our autonomy in places where solar performance is suboptimal. When we do have plentiful electricity we’ll use induction and microwave cooking. Did I say we’re in a rolly anchorage? It is rolly, but it’s a well protected marina. A ripper English Channel winter storm started on cue in the middle of the night and hasn’t let up all day. Carolyn and I were up at 2.30am to check what was banging (the anchor in the bowsprit) and to stop our tender from becoming an aeroplane. Carolyn’s mooring line cleat hitches were all holding well - the day dawned and we were still in the same slip, which is the plan.
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!
