NEEL Trimarans has announced the replacement for the NEEL 51: on the agenda, a finesse at the helm and a boat that will suit every possible use - charter, blue water cruising, and why not racing - thanks to the various layout plans on offer.
This new model logically abandons the Joubert/Nivelt stamp, taking on that of Marc Lombard Yacht Design – as with the most recent models. The central hull has substantial freeboard but also a pronounced rocker so that the trimaran remains capable in all circumstances. The voluminous floats have much tighter lines, limiting pitching and optimizing stability. The mid-height helm station is also home to all sail handling maneuvers. It is adjacent to a large flybridge and benefits from a double access. The cutter rig can be upgraded to the Performance version with a carbon spar 28” (70 cm) taller. The manufacturer has of course adopted its Cockloon® concept aboard the 52, a clever synthesis of cockpit and saloon.
