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. NEEL-TRIMARANS seem to take the best features of monohulls as well as catamarans and combine them – 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.
CONSTRCTION: 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 Lagoon of the same length) which provides NEEL-TRIMARANS 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.
DESIGN: NEEL TRIMARANS are presently the only production multihull on the market with full “basements”. These spaces are under the main deck and house the important machinery, systems and engine. The basements can also be used for workshops and storage of heavy items such as batteries and tanks. Thanks to this innovation all the weights are centered and low in the boat – greatly contributing to safety and comfort. Sailors can easily access the system for maintenance considerably aiding their reliability. Also the weight centering greatly helps in the boats sailing dynamics by easing the strains on the structure and making the ride more comfortable and safer.
SPACE: The NEEL-TRIMARANS are for relaxing and entertaining at sea. These cruising multihulls have multiple social including dining and lounging tables. Helming NEEL-TRIMARANS is a joy. Never did a yacht manufacturer combine effortless speeds and helming sensations with so much accommodation volume. The helm position is elevated at the stbd. bulkhead or even the flybridge and allows safe maneuvers in all conditions.
NEEL-TRIMARANS have invented the famous “Cockloon”. It is the social space between the outside cockpit and the bridgedeck salon. Neel trimarans combine this space perfectly into one huge living platform without a single step. On the NEEL 43, 47, 52 and 65 the main master suite is located right on the main deck to stbd. providing unobstructed 270-degree views of the surrounding sea – right from your own bed. Very few catamarans under 60’ can provide this sort of living accommodation.
Contact Aeroyacht to reserve your exclusive private tour with the Neel factory in La Rochelle, France. Gregor Tarjan will provide you with an in depth look at all phases of construction and design of these innovative trimarans. We will organize “meet and greets” with the principals of the NEEL Company, sit down to define your personal NEEL as well as test sail on a NEEL-TRIMARAN.
