About the Neel 45

At 13.7 m the Neel 45 is a cruising trimaran that combines high speeds with space for a couple or small family.

Neel builds cruising trimarans in La Rochelle, France. The living area sits in the central hull at cockpit level, so the boats combine trimaran speed with catamaran-style comfort.

Buying a used Neel 45

• Standing rigging older than about ten years is often questioned by insurers – check its age.
• Ask when the saildrive seals were last replaced and check the engines’ service history.
• Inspect both hulls, keels and rudders for grounding damage and check the bridgedeck for cracks.
• Always commission an independent survey with a haul-out – see our buying checklist.
