A better Trimaran than Vagabonde's?

How does this Neel Trimaran compare to Sailing La Vagabonde's new Trimaran? We sail from the berry Islands in the Bahamas on our Neel 43 Trimaran to Rose Island right next to Nassau. It was a really good sail and we reached speeds of 10 knots.

Bobby, I've been a long time viewer, but don't comment much. I wanted to share a quick story with you. My dad passed away a while back from cancer. While he was going through Kemo and radiation, he spent quite a bit of time watching your videos, here on KZbin. You were his favorite channel to watch. He viewed your videos, right up until he passed. He said that doing so kept his mind off what he was going through and genuinely enjoyed every episode. Glad to see that you're able to "pilot" so many different boats, I think this is especially important for the folks that are looking to getting into sailing or perhaps looking at upgrades from their current situation. Anyways thank you to you and Stephanie and everything you both are doing, keep up the great work and content🙂

[@Sailingdoodles]

Wow that’s humbling. So glad that our videos were able to give him joy and inspire. I hope it inspire others as well and motivates people to go out and follow their dreams. Thank you!

Sad, that he did not watch The Truth About Cancer instead. Then he could still have been alive, I can tell you with confidence. Don't get angry on the messenger, but do get angry on the corrupt world we live in, including the so-called health care system. I by the way personally know many people, who have survived and overcome even supposed terminal stage cancers, all following one of many alternative procedures. All, that I know personally, who went the oncology way, including my sister and mother, are long dead. I am angry, I can tell you!

[@alexandertelehin3425]

Every boat build has a specific purpose, whether it be a power or sail boat. The Neel seems to have good office space, has the right hull design for that length. I am happy for you and your family now having a great working area to socialise and sleep. I have not seen La Vagabonde 60 on the water; only in the workshop. My goodness, the volume in the main hull is enormous, in the main cabin, the sleeping areas, cloths closets, engine room and kitchen cabinets, for four adults and two children; it is an enormous try hull. I am looking forward to see the final product sailing with average sails up. I am looking forward to seeing the La Vagabonde go on a test run to see it's moderate capabilities on the water. Elayna wants security, safety and liveability on the seas and islands for herself and two sons. While Riley wants those same things as well as speed to get out of trouble if and when the need arises. They wanted specifically everything on their tri hull to be carbon fibre for strength, lightness weight wise and far less maintenance with no stainless steel brass or the like. Their 60ft Rapido Trimaran in my opinion will be an experience to be-hold; watching it go through it’s sea trials and the learning process for both of them as well as their adult experienced sailor guests on their 60ft Rapido Trimaran.

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

The thing is, this Neel 43 is not comparable with the Rapido in price, not even by a long shot, but instead the Rapido 40! Try to fit a family on that one! Neel 65 is priced on par with Rapido 60, but that one is essentially a floating home or hotel in comparison.

I always likened that feeling of keeling over in the sailboat to cornering on a motorcycle, imagining the force of our weight over the machine's tires on the riding surface as we lean over at velocity, into the turn. the wind in the sail is leaning in, grabbing and pushing against the waves of solid water, by way of the keels underneath, like a teeter totter, and the boat its fulcrum...

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

@@TA-wg9oi What do you even mean with that nonsense? The Neel 43 is priced on par with the Rapido 40, not their 60, which is in fact the same price as a Neel 65. But the space in this 43 is about the same as their trimaran, the Neel 65 is really a floating villa. Self-defeating comment of yours, in my view! I do like Rapido too, though, just to be clear. They got different virtues, the Rapido is probably as close to a performance boat, as you can get, when still has room for comfort to cruise, but the Neel offer even more space than catamarans, but still offer a better ride and speed than most catamarans would do. He also states that. It is all about the compromise, that you are willing to make and what you value the most. I actually do not quite get, why La Vagabonde pay so much emphasis on performance, when they actually are an entire family cruising. It is not like they are going to win races in the Rapido either, but it will be a bit faster in extreme conditions for sure.

Interesting the difference between this craft and what LaVagabond is building. Thier's seems to be space wise essentially a mono hull, with a great deal of storage space in the outriggers.

This craft you are using is a very interesting vessel. Thanks for sharing. 1 note, on the filming.....to much quick movement of the drone and the stick, sometimes it's hard to watch and with such beautiful scenery it would be nice to see it clearly for more than a second, just my personal preference.

[@id10tcertified]

You’re comparing a cruising tri to a performance tri (albeit with some usable living space) may as well compare a mono to a Neil.

[@handroids1981]

Easy answer: The NEEL, every time. At any length. Dodgy electrics and all. The Rapido is a fantastic looking race boat with a shower and an electric dunny. The price difference is hilarious. I could get Chris White to build me a brand new Atlantic 47 with S Class Fibre glass for that money. I could buy his Atlantic 55 for the northern hemisphere and a NEEL 43 for the southern hemisphere for that money. You've done well with your tri. Absolutely.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Chris White's boats are vastly better built and likely far more seaworthy than Neels. No comparison. A car analogy would be Aston Martin to Volkswagen. Rapidos are pricey due to all the Carbon and quasi-race quality. Chris' boats are more high performance cruisers than racers.

[@walpt]

I loved your trimarã

[@greglight3745]

How would you compare your Neel experience vs the Neel east coast delivery by the Wynns ?

[@jamesaron1967]

As much as I love the Wynns as people (they're really great), I think they were a little over their heads with the 47. It's a totally different kettle of fish than what they were used to or ever sailed before. It didn't help that they were on a boat with hurricane damage which required repairs. On top of that, they had very disagreeable conditions that exacerbated their whole ordeal. It's as if the Fates conspired to make the entire experience as bad as possible for them. This cemented their first impressions of Neel yachts and trimarans in general, and you know what they say about first impressions. I don't expect them to be on another trimaran any time soon.

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

All boats have shake down periods right after delivery, for a very good reason. That same thing could also happen in even the most extreme performance oriented catamarans or even luxury yachts. I did not see anything in that series, that convinced me, that Neel under-delivers in any way, and Neel does by the way not pretend to be a performance multiful, unlike Rapido. It absolutely is a range of cruising oriented multihuls with copious amount of indoor space and good sailing performance on top. Neel actually highlights a comfortable sail over speed in their own PR too. However, Neel do sail more efficient than most same priced catamarans.

[@jaimeduncan6167]

I agree with you about the living space of the rapido. It's in the name, so probably even the company agrees. With two children I was wondering why but I am sure the selection will be clear as they start to use it. Maybe they want to go to more places in a single season, and performance is key.

[@jamesaron1967]

They also have a nanny on board for their children. That's five people. I think the Vagabonders will find out sooner or later that even a 60ft trimaran with living space solely in the center hull will feel a little cramped at times with that many people on board. But they'll be quicker than any YT sailing channel out there, so it's worth it, LOL..

[@bfeltovi]

Their sleeping arrangements include crew/friends sleeping outside. Not really sustainable in the long term in unpleasant climates.

[@Mark-cx3nh]

That is the sailboat I want...I like the 43 better then the 47 for solo and couple sailing

[@kvalvagnes]

No one choose the Rapido for the space - but for the sailing ability and speed witch stands out from the like of Neel etc.. The Neel is about as wide as a similar lengt catamaran - so it hasnt got more stability but a more stressed motion with its 3 hulls.

[@BilldalSWE]

A Rapido would make sense if you only lived in it during crossings. The issue is 90% of a liveabord cruisers time will still be spent on anchor and most sane people would gladly sacrifice a few knots top speed over literally twice the living comforts during that time... The Outremer 45 is already a pretty fast boat.

[@jamesaron1967]

There are plenty of fast catamarans with better living space if not more space. The Orc 57, for example. I'd much rather have the ORC than the Rapido. The layout is superior in a very fast liveaboard if that's what you're after. I'm sure those two boats could trade blows in various conditions as far as performance is concerned. As a matter of fact, James from Carry on Sailing channel who owns a Neel 51 is considering the Orc 57, not a Rapido 60 for a replacement. Regarding the Neel 43 featured in this video, it is actually a little wider in the interior where it matters than a comparatively sized catamaran, and you won't find a cat under 60ft with a master cabin on the bridge deck, which is a hallmark of Neel yachts. Some people may not care about that but it's one of my sought out features in a multi-hull. I prefer cats over tris but no cat reasonably priced exists with a cabin on the bridge deck. They don't have the room.

[@kvalvagnes]

@@jamesaron1967 Its not about interior space for everyone - you dont ned 4 doubles if you sail with two people or a small family. If speed and safety is high on the list a trimaran will do the job. To sail fast with a performance cat - you will loose safety - on a trimaran you will still have hit - going fast.

Hi Bobby. I stumbled across your channel today. I am a professional skipper/coach and a client of mine is about to buy a Neel 47. The vessel seems to have a lot of good points (I'm a monohull guy, really) but I can see the benefits for fast cruising. My client has a dog and some children that will sometimes be on board. I am speaking to Neel, but I had a couple of sailing questions. If you can answer me (if you see this), what is the Neel 47's highest TWA / AWA in calm water at say 20kts True Wind? I'm told they sail well on the wind compared to other multi hulls. Second, what are they like in big waves? I've always been nervous of multi hulls in big waves (say 4 - 8 metres - 12ft - 24ft)? Finally, my client will sometimes be singlehanded. Do you feel this is feasible for short passages? Thanks a lot, in advance. SUBSCRIBED & LIKED.
