2022 NEEL 43 TRIMARAN- IMMACULATE!

The Neel 43 represents the ideal multihull for a small family or cruising couple. On deck owners suite allows for views and living space which a monohull (or even 98% of catamarans!) could never offer. Unmatched performance with less dramatic motions at sea owing to her generous beam. Integrated living space makes the saloon and cockpit ("Cockloon" [tm]) a living space that will be the envy of any experienced liveaboard.

Comes equipped with watermaker, Volvo engine, dinghy, full set of electronics, and sails. Everything needed for cruising is here.

The owners have enjoyed their time onboard but are now returning back to their regular lives as planned. She is seriously for sale.

Why a Trimaran is SAFER at Sea ?

The width of NEEL trimarans is an important factor for safety on the high seas because it is a guarantee of stability. On a catamaran, the maximum righting moment occurs at 12° heeling, as shown on the stability curve. This angle can be reached relatively easily when sailing in strong winds and heavy seas. However, on a trimaran, this maximum righting moment does not occur until 27° heeling, therefore in normal multihull conditions of use, this angle is never reached. For this reason, and thanks to the centered weight distribution, a trimaran is much more stable than a catamaran.

Why a NEEL Trimaran is FASTER at sea ?

Trimarans are significantly faster than monohulls or catamarans. The superiority of the trimaran is obvious during upwind sailing, especially due to the rig : on a catamaran, the forestay pulls from the front beam, the mast compresses a central beam and the shrouds pull the two floats supporting the forestay and mast beam: this platform deforms in many directions. Consequently, it is then impossible to have a rigid forestay. On a trimaran, the forestay, mast, and mainsail tension are structurally bonded to one strong, longitudinal beam: the main hull. This configuration, as per a monohull, allows for a rigid forestay and good performance up-wind. Performance is also enhanced by the centered weight.

The extra speed of the trimaran is an additional safety factor.
