This 2024 NEEL 43 is a performance-optimized trimaran built in composite, designed for speed and efficiency across extended cruising and offshore passages. The Performance configuration incorporates structural and aerodynamic refinements aimed at significant weight reduction, improved power efficiency, and measured performance gains estimated at up to 10 percent over the standard version. Partial carbon bulkheads and other weight-saving measures enhance not only average speed and acceleration but also dynamic comfort through reduced inertia, smoother sea passages, and improved directional stability.
The rig reflects a dedicated performance focus: a two-stage carbon mast with MARECHAL spreader bars, textile standing rigging that reduces top weight while maintaining profile integrity, and optimized sail plan geometry. The genoa features 3D adjustment for precise profile control across all points of sail. Karver high-performance winches and sheet systems are positioned and dimensioned for maximum efficiency under load, while the deck architecture balances performance demands with reliability during sustained sailing.
The boat accommodates four cabins and one head, providing sleeping and sanitary facilities for cruising families or small groups. Power comes from a single 50 hp Volvo diesel engine, supporting auxiliary propulsion and onboard systems. At 42 feet in length and over 24 feet in beam across the outrigger sponsons, the trimaran offers the stability and interior volume characteristic of the design while maintaining the weight advantages built into this specific configuration.
