Great work Windelo-Team! I like this one even more than the 50! Please keep doing things differently, that's what is really needed in the industry. Like it a lot! 👍
Outstanding beautifull and usefull, I think you are making a catamaran at a reasonanle price, good speed and luxury, everything well thought out, love the steering position.
luv to find out what shes like in heavy weather big seas a video would be awesome I'm seriously thinking about this boat having been a mono hull guy but luv the hem position
Heres something to give you some ideas ruclips.net/video/z7tvhl9rBNE/видео.html G👀gle yachting world yachts and gear the future of boatbuilding a greener approach 136032 And follow to an article on a ice racer called Volcanic.... Its impressive stuff...better than. E glass and tougher than Carbon in some ways.
I really wonder about sunbed area use. still couldn't understand why Windelo setting big sun bed on there. Is it have any other use for sun bed area? is it possible to clean it to have more large living area?
It's a sun bed during the day, and a watch bed at night for couples sailing at night. Most crusing sailboats are operated by couples, and when sailing at night, they take turns sleeping and keeping watch. Also the bed in the salon makes the space above the bed in the cabin taller.
Neither glass nor basalt are flammable. They're basically rock. The plastic used to bind them in a plastic composite and any plastic foam core can be and usually are flammable.
Is the plastic foam in the center of the basalt closed-cell foam? I noticed some larger boats have really heavy-duty front doors towards the bow. I assume in case they take a large wave over the bow. What happens if a large wave hits the front?
Most waves don't reach a forward cockpit due to how far inboard it is from the gunwales. In a really large storm, one would close the plastic at the very front of the cockpit and close the sliding doors to the salon.
Fantastic boat, many good ideas and interesting solutions! Just one observation, are the hydrogeneration graph axis labels @ 16:20 correct or could them possibly be inverted?
Its an impressive vessel and will no doubt evolve further refinements. The company might do well to put together a film illustrating the advantages of using Basalt fiber compared to traditional GRP and Carbon fiber..
@@windelocatamaran6969 There was a couple of very useful and insightful articles in Yatching world On new materials in boat building specifically with a greener approach. They also featured the Low latitudes race boat series ...designed to cope with growler ice. The name was Volcanic and it was of course built of Basalt. As a Environmental scientist and Geologist I know its a winner compared to carbon and Glass fiber.. it also discusses the recyclability of the materials and resins used.
no wiper on captain windscreen? i think you should use bigger electric motor and increase the speed in case running from pirates or running from big storm, instead of that having a generator without fuel that can charge the battery all the time...the boat should have a cctv at top front, back, left and right and also night vision camera....maybe all the room have tv or karaoke for entertainment.

Thank you~outstanding job!
Building with "Basalt"... is new to me!

Is the basalt material less flammable as fiberglass, or as flammable?
Neither glass nor basalt are flammable. They're basically rock. The plastic used to bind them in a plastic composite and any plastic foam core can be and usually are flammable.
What happens with electric motors when a stuck by lightening ???

Yes, the labels are incorrect. It should make about a kilowatt of power at about 10 knots.

Thank you for your comment and idea. We hope to do it soon.

i would like to see how this boat survive sailing in bad weather.

Are the windows bullet proof? In a hard storm, could it make it through? I like all of the light, until the water starts pouring in.
0:03 does the logo say "cean future", should that not be "clean future"??
More!
