The NEEL 52 is a 52-foot trimaran built in fiberglass with a 30.5-foot beam, powered by a single 110 hp Volvo diesel engine. Its trimaran hull design combines a central hull with outrigger sponsons, delivering the performance characteristics of a racing yacht while maintaining the comfort profile of a cruising platform. The broad beam and low center of gravity provide stability across a range of sea states, with a righting moment at 27 degrees of heel.
The layout below deck includes five cabins and four heads, arranged to maximize privacy and comfort for extended cruising. The main deck features the "Cockloon" concept—a unified cockpit and saloon space with panoramic windows that create panoramic sight lines and blend interior and exterior living areas. The central helm station offers clear visibility and ergonomic control of the sail plan and vessel systems.
The NEEL 52 is engineered for straightforward handling by small crews or single-handed sailors. Its efficient sail plan, intuitive deck layout, and responsive helm make maneuvering in confined waters and anchoring straightforward. The trimaran's lighter construction and advanced hull form allow double-digit speeds even when fully provisioned for ocean passages, with superior upwind capability and reduced pitching motion compared to conventional multihulls.
