Advanced Trimaran Design & Construction

Built in France by NEEL Trimarans, the yacht measures 14.22 metres in length overall with an impressive beam of 8.50 metres. Her variable draft ranges from approximately 1.20 metres to 2.20 metres thanks to a retractable daggerboard system, giving owners both shallow-water access and stronger upwind sailing ability. With an approximate displacement of 8,500 kg, she benefits from advanced fiberglass sandwich construction that provides high structural strength while keeping weight low.

The trimaran configuration delivers exceptional stability, excellent speed potential, and generous living space compared with conventional monohulls of similar length. Her rigid lightweight structure, wide platform, and efficient hull forms make her a serious performance cruiser without compromising onboard comfort.

Performance, Engine & Sailing Capability

Auxiliary propulsion is provided by a Volvo Penta D2-60 inboard diesel engine delivering approximately 59 HP. Paired with a Sail Drive and folding propellers, the system offers efficient motoring while reducing drag under sail. A 300-litre fuel tank supports extended cruising and practical passage planning.

Under sail, this NEEL 45 Evolution is capable of comfortable cruising speeds between 10 and 13 knots, with peak sailing speeds approaching 20 knots in favourable conditions. Her retractable daggerboard is a major performance advantage, particularly for upwind work, while the yacht’s trimaran stability provides a secure and exciting sailing experience.

Accommodation, Galley & Interior Layout

The yacht offers three comfortable double cabins, supported by additional single berths in the outer hulls. This flexible accommodation plan makes her suitable for family cruising, guest trips, extended voyages, or charter use. Two bathrooms with showers and electric toilets provide practical comfort for longer stays aboard.

The salon is spacious, bright, and intelligently arranged with a dedicated navigation station, panoramic visibility, and excellent natural light. The fully equipped galley includes a two-burner stove, oven, two refrigerators with a combined capacity of approximately 144 litres, and a separate 53-litre freezer. The interior is designed for genuine cruising life, with strong storage solutions and an open, comfortable living environment.

Deck Features, Cockpit & Cruising Equipment

The cockpit provides generous seating, relaxation space, cockpit cushions, and protection from a fixed bimini. A cockpit tent installed in 2022 further enhances usability in variable weather conditions. The yacht also includes a foldable swimming ladder, davits, a rigid dinghy, and a 5 HP outboard engine, adding strong value for cruising owners.

Additional practical upgrades include a stainless-steel bow fitting with integrated anchor bracket, six extra mooring cleats, improved line routing, new lightweight storage inserts, upgraded mainsail halyard, new jib sheets, new lazy bag, and a new bimini top.

Navigation, Electronics & Safety Systems

The navigation package is comprehensive and well suited for coastal and offshore cruising. Equipment includes a Raymarine Axiom 9-inch chartplotter, radar, AIS, depth sounder, log-speedometer, wind instruments, autopilot, VHF radio with DSC controller, and a complete chart set. These systems provide the awareness and control needed for confident passage-making.

Safety equipment includes a 10-person life raft, 10 life jackets, lifebuoys, radar reflector, emergency tiller, and additional cruising safety gear. The yacht also holds approval and a safety certificate from BG Verkehr, adding further confidence for serious buyers.

Electrical, Plumbing & Autonomy

The yacht operates on a robust 12V electrical system supported by a 480 Ah service battery bank and a dedicated 70 Ah engine battery. Shore power connection, onboard charger, 2 kW inverter, 480W solar panel array, LED lighting, USB charging points, and 230V outlets throughout the accommodation areas provide excellent onboard autonomy.

Freshwater capacity is approximately 500 litres across two tanks, while two holding tanks support the onboard toilet systems. Automatic electric bilge pumps have been permanently installed in the outer hulls, improving safety and reliability.

Comfort, Heating & Long-Range Use

Comfort onboard is enhanced with heating in the superstructure and forward cabin areas, cabin fans for airflow in warmer climates, LED lighting, and a Fusion audio system with Bluetooth connectivity. Engine compartment insulation reduces noise and vibration, creating a quieter experience underway.
