NEEL TRIMARANS - IT JUST MAKES SENSE! This model has been replaced by the new Neel 52. 2018 European Boat Of the Year Winner, 2019 Sail Best Boat Winner, 2019 MultiHull Magazine Best Boat Winner. A combination of performance, spaciousness, and seaworthiness on a sophisticated trimaran, a proven bluewater achiever, winner of its class in the ARC Regatta across the Atlantic. An amazing performer in low winds, and a stable cruiser in high winds, the Neel 51 will take you further faster!
The Neel 51 features large interiors with 3 double and 3 single cabins. Neel 51 owners are cruising all over the world, from Antarctic waters to Polynesia, the Caribbean and Mediterranean Sea. The NEEL 51 combines the benefits of its predecessors the NEEL 45 and the NEEL 65, performance and comfort living. It's a bluewater yacht for family, maneuverable by a minimal crew. The 51's sleek lines and reversed bows give it a modern design and sporting looking.
Why a trimaran is safer at sea? The width of NEEL trimarans is an important factor for safety on the high seas because it is a guarantee of stability. On a catamaran, the maximum righting moment occurs at 12° heeling, as shown on the stability curve. This angle can be reached relatively easily when sailing in strong winds and heavy seas. However, on a trimaran, this maximum righting moment does not occur until 27° heeling, therefore in normal multihull conditions of use, this angle is never reached. For this reason, and thanks to the centered weight distribution, a trimaran is much more stable than a catamaran.
Why a NEEL trimaran is faster at sea? Trimarans are significantly faster than monohulls or catamarans. The superiority of the trimaran is obvious during upwind sailing, especially due to the rig on a catamaran, the forestay pulls from the front beam, the mast compresses a central beam and the shrouds pull the two floats supporting the forestay and mast beam: this platform deforms in many directions. Consequently, it is then impossible to have a rigid forestay. On a trimaran, the forestay, mast, and mainsail tension are structurally bonded to one strong, longitudinal beam: the main hull. This configuration, as per a monohull, allows for a rigid forestay and good performance up-wind. Performance is also enhanced by the centered weight. The extra speed of the trimaran is an additional safety factor.
