The NEEL 43 is a 43-foot trimaran built in fiberglass with a 24.5-foot beam. Powered by a single 50-horsepower Volvo diesel engine, it accommodates four cabins and two heads. The trimaran design delivers notable advantages: maximum stability is reached at a 27-degree heel angle compared to 12 degrees on comparable catamarans, and the centralized weight distribution along the main hull reduces pitching and rolling in rough conditions. The unified longitudinal beam structure integrates the forestay, mast, and mainsail tension into a single rigid assembly, eliminating flex and deformation to optimize sail shape and upwind performance.
The layout provides four separate cabin spaces with two full heads, making it suitable for extended cruising with multiple crew or family. The design prioritizes a steady platform and secure handling in challenging sea conditions while maintaining the speed advantages typical of multihull vessels.
