The NEEL 43 trimaran is the newest addition from the French NEEL shipyard. The NEEL43 is perfectly at home cruising around the world making quick offshore passages. At the same time she is a capable coastal cruising multihull, putting the fun back into sailing. Consequently her sisterships, the NEEL 47 and NEEL 52 have won multiple ARC Transatlantic races as well as dozens of international industry awards.
The NEEL 43 trimaran is the ideal couple’s boat. This unique multihull provides the same space as a cruising catamaran of the same length, yet is more stable, faster and provides sailing sensations unlike a typical production cat. Unique about her spacious layout: The master cabin is on the main deck from which owners can enjoy perfect sea-views.
The NEEL 43 trimaran can sleep 3 couples and 2 singles of which two double cabins are on the main deck. The outer amas are used for extra single cabins forward as well as storage. The multiple hulls and watertight compartments make this one of the safest offshore yachts.
Sailing the NEEL 43 is easy and a single-handers dream. All control lines are lead to the starboard side, bulkhead mounted helm. Tacking with the self-tacking jib is easy and when you set the Code-0 your Neel 43 trimaran will transform herself into a very fast sailing machine. Consequently she will rival much larger sailing yachts and 200 mile days can be achieved. Alternately when you reach the anchorage, you will experience hardly any roll. Your NEEL 43’s beam will perfectly counteract any swell providing you with a good nights rest.
When a sailor imagines a trimaran, they instinctively recognize these craft as being extremely stable, fast and seaworthy. NEEL trimarans have a central platform. It is a flush-one level space which rivals much larger catamarans and monohull sailing yachts.
The NEEL43 trimaran uses foam as her core, avoiding the often-related osmosis issues associated with Balsa wood cored production cats. Consequently closely spaced bulkheads and a stiff, new uni-body construction create a very safe yacht for the occasional weekender as well as the long-distance offshore sailor. In conclusion – a very well thought out, expertly built sailboat. The Neel 43 trimaran covers a lot of bases and makes us redefine multihull sailing.
