WINDELO 54 owner interview of Eric et Pascal

Just back from four weeks of cruising in the Balearic Islands, on their Windelo 54 Yachting called  Zig Zag , Eric, Pascal, and their families made a stopover near Canet-en-Roussillon, France. It was the ideal opportunity to plan an owner interview and talk about their sailing program, impressions, and why they chose Windelo for their first jointly owned catamaran.

Let’s get to know the owners of Zig Zag !

Eric and pascal, the proud co-owners of the windelo 54 yachting called zig zag (launched in march 2022), have a special connection through sailing, traveling, and eco-friendliness..

Why is the boat called  Zig Zag ? The friends share two passions: sailing and skiing. Their hearts are divided between a series of tacks at sea and zigzagging down the slopes. So, for this joint purchase, it seemed natural to name the boat after their shared passions! Eric is very keen on sailing and speed. He is also a seasoned sailor, mostly on monohulls. Then, after a few years’ break, when his children were born, and with a head full of dreams from leafing through the boating press, he decided to take the plunge and start sailing again. On the other hand, Pascal comes from the world of motor yachts and loves traveling, exploring different cultures, and spending time at and near the sea.

The two friends were already, for several years, the joint owners of a small motorboat to go boating on lakes. However, their wanderlust and their yearning to explore new far-off destinations got the better of them. Together with their families, they decided to buy a catamaran. Their dream was to sail the seas and the oceans for several months on their retirement.

They learned about Windelo catamarans through the boating press and were fascinated by the concept of an open nacelle with a panoramic sea view. While on vacation in Sardinia, they saw an article on a new brand building eco-friendly boats that caught their eye. They liked the design of the nacelle, which instantly made them think of a loft opening onto the sea. Pascal is very ecologically minded, so the factory visit, where they saw the eco-friendly build , the electric motors , and how it produced green energy , all contributed to making the project a reality.

This is how the project began! Together, they became the owners of a Windelo 54 Yachting, a bluewater catamaran that will take them to explore the world.

Windelo 54 Owner Interview !

Eric, pascal, you are just back from a four-week vacation on your windelo. what was your sailing program.

Initially, our program was to sail around the Balearic Islands. We ended up sailing a little further with a few additional stopovers. We sailed practically 1,000 nautical miles in all. We set sail from Hyères and sailed 140 nautical miles to the marina of Canet-en-Roussillon, before heading to the Spanish coast. Then we sailed to Cadaqués and Barcelona before finally reaching the Balearic Islands.

We had plenty of opportunities to soak up the Spanish way of life and to visit and explore beautiful natural spaces and fabulous towns with friends and family. We spent a lot of time exploring Barcelona, which we were unfamiliar with. Then we enjoyed exploring the Balearic Islands together in wonderful sailing conditions, particularly around Majorca, Formentera, and Ibiza. We returned to Majorca, where part of the family stayed ashore, and we returned to the coast of France, anchoring at the Anse de Paulilles, a historic site on the Mediterranean coast in the Pyrénées-Orientales. This beach is perfect for getting away from it all. It is the first sandy beach you see when you come back from the Spanish coast, and with its clear blue water, it is a perfect place for mooring. As Pascal says: “We enjoyed some wonderful sailing in steady unchanging winds. The Windelo 54 is a seaworthy boat that comfortably and easily sails at 14 knots. We were truly at one with the sea.”

The four-week cruise ended at Collioure in pleasantly mild weather. It was an excellent vacation allowing us to test our catamaran on long sailing trips, in good wind conditions, shorthanded, or with family and friends on board.

What were your impressions of the Windelo 54 after a few weeks on board?

Eric: We both agreed that the cruise was a good mix of simple sailing, fun, enjoyment, and comfort. The boat performs well and is very safe. Anyone can enjoy sailing this boat, whether a seasoned sailor or a novice. She’s easy to maneuver. We hoist the sails with barely any true wind. She really is a joy to sail.

Pascal: From one short hop to another, from joy to satisfaction, from pleasure to sensations! Everyone on board loved everything about the boat. It was a wonderful sailing experience.

The performance of the Windelo 54 Yachting seems to have won over, or at least pleasantly surprised, our circle of family and friends. On several occasions, we had friends on board, and they were impressed when we sailed with the Code 0 and the gennaker. We sail at true wind speed. It’s fantastic.

Forward cockpit and engine

Let us take a closer look at the technical details. you chose the windelo for its originality. how would you describe the forward cockpit.

Comfortable would be the first word that comes to our mind to describe the Windelo cockpit . It has a panoramic view of the sea and is easy to steer with navigation instruments at your fingertips. Sailing the catamaran couldn’t be simpler. It’s quite surprising on a boat this size, and at the same time, it is reassuring, especially at night and when the wind picks up. For example, you can reef safely, and it’s easy to do so.

For us, sailing is about sharing time with family or friends. The crew can take advantage of the boat’s forward cockpit, where everything is within easy preach, and everyone can enjoy sharing time in ideal safety conditions. There’s no need to go on deck or outside in the cold.

Eric: She’s an extremely sound seaworthy boat. She responds well, and it’s a joy to maneuver. Having sailed many monohulls myself, when we luff up and bear away with the Windelo 54, we instantly feel the helm responding and the water flowing. It’s very satisfying.

In the city, you are accustomed to driving electric cars. Was the electric motor one of the deciding factors in buying your sailboat?

Yes, the motor was among the most important factors in choosing this boat, along with the technical, economic, and ecological considerations.

Whether we were sailing or running on the motor, the boat was moving in complete silence, compared to a boat with a diesel engine. The boat barely vibrates at all, thanks to the electric power. These big rumbling vibrations and not being able to sleep when the engines run, are things of the past for us. Electric power gives a completely different and utterly magical experience. And the output is outstanding.

As for hydrogeneration, when we sail at 8 to 10 knots, we generate 0.6 to 1 kWh per motor, allowing us to recharge our battery bank completely. It works really well.

For the daily energy outlay, the 3,300 W solar panels alone compensate for the power we use aboard (fridge, lights, dishwasher, water heater, etc.), which is a real plus for us, particularly when we spend days at anchor.

In other words, we don’t need to start the generator to keep our home comfortable, whether sailing or at anchor. This means that we have an excellent cruising range, and it drastically reduces our fuel consumption as well as our environmental footprint.

Living space aboard

Occasionally on your cruise, there were many people on board. how did you organize life aboard.

When planning this project, it was important to us to have a large social space on the boat, enabling us to interact easily with everyone on board; Windelo represented exactly our dream. And this was how it worked out on a daily basis; we enjoyed the bright open loft-style space and made the most of it. The shared living space is well-designed and thought-through, and on top of being spacious, the saloon is also extremely bright. It completely opens onto the sea and the nature around us thanks to the large windows and the lifting door creating continuity between the outdoor space and the interior of the nacelle.

Regarding the accommodations, four double cabins and a skipper cabin are essential when the boat is being used under charter management. This gives us a lot of space. There is a very big sail locker with enough space to store the gennaker and solent, along with our belongings and watersports toys when the boat is being chartered. The engine rooms for electric motors are also spacious, giving us plenty of storage possibilities. The boat is designed for a pleasant life on board with all the appliances you would find at home: dishwasher, washing machine, entertainment equipment, and so on.

The boat is also very comfortable when sailing with a large crew;  we lived on board with up to 9 or 10 people, each had their own space to relax in the daytime, and all on the same level (trampoline, central cockpit, quarter berth/lounge seat, three benches, chart table/desk space, etc.).

Already at very first sight, you notice Windelo has a striking amount of space. Two couples stayed on board with us for a week. It was their first time on the Windelo 54, and they were amazed that we could all have our own space without getting in each other’s way.

Boatyard experience

Let’s back up to the start of this adventure; what inspired your purchase of a windelo.

We learned about the Windelo project in July 2020 when we were sailing in Sardinia on a chartered monohull. We opened the Windelo webpage with the photomontage of the boat (the Windelo 54) with all its doors and windows open, and it looked like a loft on the sea. We saw an eco-friendly article about this boat and instantly thought, ‘Wow’! And when we visited the factory in October 2020, our reaction was justified.

Comment s’est construit votre projet d’achat avec l’équipe Windelo ?

Pascal: The boatyard’s feedback is excellent. They helped us from start to finish. The Windelo staff is always readily available to answer our questions, and there is always someone to help us. They really look out for you at Windelo, which is very reassuring as a customer. There are no good or bad questions, whether it concerns a future improvement for the boats or the miles you intend to sail. You can talk about or discuss anything. And it’s reassuring to have a team of technical staff with solid experience, despite the relatively new boatyard. They are a highly professional team. They are passionate about what they do and will always help you fulfill your passion and your project, and they will fit out and make changes to your boat to match your expectations.

Eric agrees: Buying the 1st Windelo 54 Yachting built by Windelo was a big gamble for us. Honestly, we were expecting quite a few problems, but this second model is very well designed. We didn’t have any major issues to correct, and the small technical details were followed up really well by the yard in the caring fashion that Pascal describes.

Finally, has this purchase won you over?

Pascal: Very much so. Today, our dream has come true, completely matching the promises outlined in the article about layout, design, and innovations.

As part of the creation of new types of catamaran made in Occitanie, an audacious choice of ecological innovation has been selected in partnership with the Materials Center of « Mines d’Alès » (C2MA – IMT MINES ALES) (Gard, France). It’s a question of combining ecological performance in terms of minimizing the environmental footprint and structural resistance, and this, in a global approach of circular economy on all parts of the boat. To do this, and in connection with the IMT MINES ALES, Windelo has relied on the use of secondary raw materials, competitive  virgin petroleum-based materials, that fully comply with the specifications in terms of mechanical performance. This is a real first step to the development of a 2.0 fleet ships fully integrated into the challenges and ecological challenges of the 21st century.

Associated with an ecological approach of circular economy integrating a not insignificant part of competitive secondary raw materials from virgin materials, the architectural design and the resistance of materials on the new Windelo catamarans are mechanically tested in the Materials Center of « Mines d’Alès » (C2MA – IMT MINES ALES) (Gard, France) in connection with the architects and designers of the project. The design of the ship, and in particular the hulls and bows, go through a search for efficient structuring and arranging of materials composing it, combined with a mechanically optimized geometrical assembly. To this end, specific test developments, such as the study of distortion of the structure and of the panels constituating the hull of the ship, are studied by digital image correlation techniques coupled with standardized strength tests.

Founder of Catana

“The cruising program for this new boat raises the question of the antagonism between the search for performance under sail and the pleasure of navigation, and the development of pleasant living spaces. The originality of the answer is provided here in the arrangement of the cockpit bringing together the helm and maneuvers to the center of the boat and in the arrangement of living space that occupies the rear of the nacelle.

Just behind the mast the outer cockpit offers two helm stations protected from the wind and spray, a beautiful view of the sails and bows, and allows to have all the maneuvers on hand while limiting the needs to circulate on the bridge. Out of navigation, the cockpit can be more widely protected from the outside and open to the rear space.

Fully opened behind this cockpit, we have not developed two living spaces duplicating one inside the other but a single large space which is ajustable. We have focused our efforts on the geometry of the material and visual limits of this space and on the opening kinematics of the bays. Once opened, they “disappear” to transform the interior into an exterior. The generosity of these openings also allows to modulate the ventilation of this space by playing on a wide range of opening on its four sides

This work on the modularity and the disappearance of limits is found at the extreme rear of the nacelle, with an articulated platform to the davits transforming it into a floor when anchored, and in the rear cabins, whose wide turning porthole eliminates the angle between side plating and back side. The cabin space is therefore generous despite the relative narrowness of the hulls.

All these choices allow us to combine a contained hold of the nacelle, pledge control of the weight estimate, to a generous living space, with a central part given to navigation and maneuvering. The slenderness of the forward spikes, the significant free height under the platform, and the attention paid to the centering of the masses, complete the marine qualities expected for an offshore navigation program.

The other originality of the project brought by this new construction site is in the approach of “eco-design” on materials and construction. Strongly limiting the use of molds, the latter brings a greater margin of freedom in the variations and evolutions of the boats thus conceived. ”

Who could know if it is the father or the son who is the most  passionate? It doesn’t matter. The important thing  is to write an innovative project within a family culture, for today and for generations to come. Hand over the guiding light, this is Olivier Kauffmann’s will. “At first I wanted to make my own boat, for me and my family; go on trip around the world living on a  efficient and pleasant catamaran. I dreamed of a new quality of space. Today, the dream has matured, and I want to share it with the great family of sailors. »

Windelo is the desire to expose us to something new, innovative, powerful, bigger than oneself. To seek innovations on materials, techniques of industrialization and uses to impulse a new economic reality. “We want to be part of this transformation related to the respect of our environment, it is for us, essential to work in this respect of men and nature. Men are at the heart of the project with the desire to recruit and form a passionate team, surrounded by experts recognized as the best in their field.

And the innovation doesn’t stop here, because the constructive process makes it possible to envisage fast evolutions from one boat to another while remaining well priced. An ambitious and respectful project ; Welcome to the Windelo adventure.

Dans le cadre de la confection de nouveaux types de catamaran made in Occitanie, un choix audacieux d’innovation écologique a été retenu en partenariat avec le Centre des Matériaux des Mines d’Alès (C2MA – IMT MINES ALES) (Gard). Il s’agit à la fois d’allier performance écologique en termes de minimisation de l’empreinte environnementale et résistance des structures, et ce, dans une démarche globale d’économie circulaire sur l’ensemble des parties du bateau. Pour ce faire, et en lien avec l’IMT MINES ALES, Windelo a misé sur l’utilisation de matières premières secondaires, compétitives des matériaux pétrosourcés vierges, et parfaitement conformes au cahier des charges sur le plan des performances mécaniques. C’est un réel premier pas vers l’élaboration d’une flotte de navires 2.0 s’intégrant complètement dans les enjeux et défis écologiques du XXIème siècle.

Associées à une démarche écologique d’économie circulaire intégrant une part non négligeable de matières premières secondaires concurrentielles des matières vierges, l’architecture de conception et la résistance des matériaux des nouveaux catamarans de Windelo sont éprouvées par des tests mécaniques réalisés au Centre des Matériaux des Mines d’Alès (C2MA – IMT MINES ALES) (Gard) en lien avec les architectes et designers du projet. La conception du navire, et en particulier les bordées et étraves, passe par une recherche de structuration performante de l’agencement des matériaux le composant, combinée à une géométrie d’assemblage optimisée sur le plan mécanique. Pour ce faire, des développements d’essais spécifiques, comme l’étude de la déformation de la structure des panneaux constituant la coque du navire, sont étudiés par des techniques de corrélation d’image numériques couplés à des essais de résistance mécanique normalisés.

La rencontre avec Olivier et Gautier a été une agréable surprise pour moi, dès l’exposé de leur projet, j’ai vu réunis tous les ingrédients d’une réussite, l’expérience de gestion d’entreprises mais avec une modestie rassurante, le souci de former une équipe des meilleurs experts (sourire) et une réelle écoute de leurs avis. Au fil des rencontres, les discussions ont ravivé mes souvenirs de la création puis du développement de Catana. Les mêmes motivations, la même recherche de perfection, la même audace teintée de modestie que nous avions au départ du projet. Windelo est centrée sur le produit ; une ligne de catamarans performants construits avec les techniques les plus modernes. Je n’en avais pas conscience à l’époque mais je crois que le succès d’un bon bateau vient de cette passion pour la mer avec la volonté de marier confort sécurité et performance. Je retrouve ici cette passion, et aujourd’hui ce qui a fini de me conquérir c’est le souci de préservation de la nature, tant dans les matériaux choisis que dans les méthodes de production.

Le programme de grande croisière auquel se destine ce nouveau bateau pose la question de l’antagonisme entre d’une part la recherche de performances sous voiles et du plaisir de navigation, et d’autre part l’aménagement d’espaces de vie agréables et généreux. L’originalité de la réponse apportée ici réside dans la disposition du cockpit rassemblant poste de barre et manœuvres au centre du bateau et dans le traitement de l’espace de vie qui occupe l’arrière de la nacelle. Juste en arrière du mât le cockpit extérieur offre deux postes de barre protégés du vent et des embruns, une belle vue sur les voiles et sur les étraves, et permet d’avoir l’ensemble des manœuvres à portée de main tout en limitant les besoins de circuler sur le pont. Hors navigation, le cockpit peut être plus largement protégé de l’extérieur et s’ouvrir sur l’espace arrière. De plein pied en arrière de ce cockpit, nous n’avons pas aménagé deux espaces de vie dupliqués l’un à l’intérieur et l’autre à l’extérieur mais un seul grand espace dont le degré d’ouverture est très largement modulable. Nous avons porté notre effort sur la géométrie des limites matérielles et visuelles de cet espace et sur les cinématiques d’ouverture des baies. Une fois ouvertes elles « disparaissent » pour transformer l’intérieur en extérieur. La générosité des ouvrants permet également de moduler la ventilation de cet espace en jouant sur une large gamme d’ouverture sur ses quatre côtés Ce travail sur la modularité et sur la disparition des limites se retrouve à l’extrême arrière de la nacelle, avec une plateforme articulée aux bossoirs se transformant en plancher au mouillage, et dans les cabines arrières dont le large hublot tournant fait « sauter » l’angle entre bordé latéral et face arrière. L’espace de cabine est donc généreux malgré la relative étroitesse des coques. L’ensemble de ces choix nous permet de conjuguer une emprise contenue de la nacelle, gage de maîtrise du devis de poids, à un espace à vivre généreux, avec une place centrale accordée à la navigation et aux manœuvres. L’élancement des pointes avant, l’importante hauteur libre sous nacelle, et l’attention portée au centrage des masses, complètent les qualités marines attendues pour un programme de navigation hauturière. L’autre originalité du projet apportée par ce nouveau chantier se trouve dans l’approche d’« éco-conception » portant sur les matériaux et le mode constructif. Limitant fortement le recours aux moules ce dernier apporte une plus grande marge de liberté dans les déclinaisons et évolutions des bateaux ainsi conçus.

Qui sait lequel du père ou du fils est le plus passionné ? Peu importe. L’important ici est d’écrire un projet innovant au sein d’une culture familiale, pour aujourd’hui et les générations à venir. Passer le flambeau, le relais ; c’est la volonté d’Olivier Kauffmann. « Au début je voulais me faire mon propre bateau, pour ma famille et moi ; partir faire un tour du monde sur un catamaran performant et plaisant à vivre. Je rêvais à une qualité d’espace inédite. Aujourd’hui, l’envie a mûrit, et je tiens à le partager avec la grande famille des marins ».

Windelo c’est l’envie de s’exposer à quelque chose de nouveau, d’innovant, de performant, de plus grand que soi. Aller chercher des innovations sur des matériaux, des techniques d’industrialisation, des usages et impulser une nouvelle réalité économique. « Nous voulons faire partie de cette transformation liée au respect de notre environnement, c’est pour nous indispensable d’œuvrer dans ce respect des hommes et de la nature. Les hommes sont au cœur du projet avec la volonté de recruter et former une équipe de passionnés, entourés d’experts reconnus comme les meilleurs dans leur domaine ».

Et l’innovation ne s’arrête pas là, car le process constructif permet d’envisager des évolutions rapides d’un bateau à un autre tout en restant bien placé en prix. Projet ambitieux et respectueux, bienvenu(e) dans l’aventure Windelo.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.
