The NEEL-TRIMARANS Range consist of the award-winning NEEL 43,NEEL 47,the new NEEL 52 and NEEL 65 trimarans. They are highly innovative cruising multihulls that dare us to rethink the merits of catamarans and monohulls. These unique cruising yachts seem to take the best features of monohulls as well as catamarans – to create safe, comfortable and performance-oriented cruising machines.
NEEL trimarans stem from the design board of famed naval architects Joubert-Nivelt as well as Marc Lombard. They successfully combine all the benefits of a true blue-water cruising yacht. Safety, Speed and Comfort are fused into an extraordinary modern and timeless design.
NEEL trimarans are presently the only production multihull on the market with full “basements”. These spaces are under the main deck house important machinery, systems and engine. Owners of NEEL’s have standing headroom and even install full workshops and store heavy items such as batteries and tanks there. Thanks to this innovation all the weights are centered and low in the boat. Consequently this contributes greatly to safety and comfort. Sailors can easily access the systems for maintenance, considerably aiding their reliability. Also the weight centering greatly enhances the boats’ sailing dynamics by easing the strains on the structure and making the ride more comfortable and safer.
NEEL-TRIMARANS are expertly constructed open ocean cruising yachts with dozens of circumnavigations under their belt. Construction is carbon re-enforcements in high load areas, vacuum bagged infused polyester/foam eliminating the risks of osmotic blistering as found on some balsa wood core production catamarans. NEEL-TRIMARANS are characterized by their wide beam (only about 1’ wider than a typical catamaran of the same length) which provides them with exceptional stability, space and performance. Centered weights and intelligent choices of materials easily provide NEELs with a 220-mile travel radius within a 24-hour period. This speed translates both into fun at the helm as well as safety, by reducing exposure time at sea.
These unique trimarans are open ocean greyhounds. We consider them the safest yachts afloat thanks to 6-8 watertight compartments, more than any other boat in their class. Helming NEEL trimarans is a joy. Forward facing navigation stations make heavy weather sailing an indoor experience. Steering systems are simple and strong and provide excellent helm feedback, thanks to the use of Kevlar cables.
