Italian builder Neo Yachts & Composites was founded in 2014 and quickly specialized in the production of very high-end IRC monohulls.
World Premiere: To discover at Cannes
The Neo 560 Cat becomes the first multihull offered by the shipyard, though the philosophy remains unchanged: Marco Veglia, the architect of the Slyder 47 and the Mattia 52 and 60, has designed a catamaran with racy lines (an aft-set coachroof, broken inverted bows, gigantic bowsprit and very deep daggerboards) that will be built entirely in carbon/epoxy using the infusion process. With 2,260 square feet (205 m²) of upwind sail area and a displacement of 32,000 lbs (14.5 t), the Neo 560 promises spectacular performance.
