We are Ziggy and Nat, a couple who not so long ago knew nothing about sailing. Fast forward few years and we are proud to say we know a thing or two about sailing, we bought a boat and now we are refitting that boat with a plan to leave the life we know behind. The RYA Start Yachting was our first course. We loved it and wanted more. At that time we had no idea how big the community of boaters is. We met fantastic people on each and every course we did. For the first time since we moved to the UK we felt like we were part of something. The sailing community was welcoming, friendly and so inspiring. We found a lifestyle we knew we wanted for ourselves. We bought Squalo a 1981 Oyster 39”, the day after our Yachtmaster Offshore exam. She ticked so many boxes of things we wanted from a blue water cruiser. But she was neglected, and although we had no experience in boat refit, “surely, it can’t be that difficult.” we thought. So here we are. Putting blood, sweat and at times even tears into our yacht Squalo. Because not only she will be a vessel taking us to the most remote places on earth.. she will become our floating home for many years to come. We are documenting our experiences during the refit and sharing this journey with others.

► 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. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Windelo Length: 50’ (15.24 m) Beam: 26’1” (7.95 m) Light displacement: 24,700 lbs (11.2 t) Draft: 5’2” (1.58 m) or 3’5” / 7’7” (1.03/2.32 m) Mainsail: 990 sq ft (92 m²) Genoa: 462 sq ft (43 m²) Fuel: 132 US gal (500 l) Water: 105 US gal (400 l) Berths: 12 Engines: 2 x 20 kW ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
