Neel 65 Trimaran 2019 - Neel's Biggest Trimaran Ever Build! (incl. sailing footage)

[@rvail136]

[@YorkshirePirate]

Performance will be good, and I really like the layout, but the finish seems a little basic for the price.

[@chrisk8187]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[@timothyblazer1749]

Truth. No idea why manufacturers are doing IKEA finishes these days. Mind you, probably good for the charter business. Easy to clean.

[@Stylefront]

I saw no grab rails in the stairwells, sharp corners EVERYWHERE but also in the middle of the stairwells? That's bananas. Assuming you didn't hit any peripheral sharp corners, the stairs themself even looked sharp enough to crack ribs. The space is awesome but underway it means more distance to gain momentum for any impacts. This thing should be LOADED with grab handles! Lastly who is going to climb around on top of the boom to package the sail? Ditch the ribs and put a furling mast. Doesn't matter if you lose half a knot, it's better than being so high and placing yourself at risk of a decent fall every time you raise/stow your main sail. I am completely on board with what a Trimaran has to offer but it's a shame more thought wasn't put into layout and accouterments. Might have to wait and see if any other big names try their hand at Trimarans. This is cool but it's not in the same league as the most common cat producers, yet.

[@Stylefront]

Aside note, this was a much anticipated video for me, I appreciate the walk through! It was a good look at the 65 and Thanks for the effort!

Tragic to see some of the ignorant comments. What's wrong with a fly bridge? What's wrong with a so called condomaran? Most people are at anchor 99% of the time anyway. Not all people want to I've in a high performance coffin, we sail for different reasons. Instead of fighting between monohull, catamaran, trimarans, or if people have the so called condo versions of these or the high performance versions, it doesn't matter, we as a sailing community should be supportive and get as many people as possible into our community and to enjoy saling.

If it was me I'd decide not to have any beds in the amas but I don't have any kids. What's already standard on the main deck and central hull would be plenty for me and result in a lighter boat.

[@pauljamieson803]

Any idea what the approx. top speed would be? (15~20+kts?) This is an inexpensive boat for what you get, but been told that workmanship is not the greatest... also finding a dock\slip to park this at and also having it placed on the hard\pulled out of the water in many locations would be almost impossible.

[@-bnqe-3119]

Great Vid - TX - the 65 is like an Oil Rig Platform, with such an abundance of real estate --- hopefully, there will be a follow-up in the future to review the quality of the build as there will be an excess of strain and stress on the structure being of such a size --- Nice Island Hopper though ...

[@ronparcke-wms2146]

After this, I think I'll stay with the Catas (cruiser type). However, this Tri gave me some inspiration on some things. I appreciated @Meadmaker 452's insights.

[@meadmaker4525]

I'm really intrigued by the design layout of this tri-hull, but the poor fit and finish of the boat and that ridiculous fly bridge make it a no-go. Put the helm at the front of the cabin, like a Gunboat, and delete the fly bridge entirely (which would effectively lower the center of effort of the sail plan and mast height by 7 to 8 feet), and bring the fit and finish of the boat up to market standards for the price range you're asking, and then you'd have something!! The 65 is a pretty nice size for this layout. Would like to see more footage of the boat at sea, though. Perhaps Neel should consider contacting one of the more popular sailing VLOG channels on KZbin and gift them one for a bit to show off what it's actually like to sail and own one. The PR would be worth the cost in the end.

[@johnkosowski3321]

What is wrong with the fly bridge? They are becoming super popular.

[@meadmaker4525]

@@johnkosowski3321 - They're not becoming super popular, they've been around forever. It's a poor, lazy design, forcing the sailplan and thus the center of effort of sail higher (this is a bad thing), and it means sailing in foul weather is miserable because the person captaining the boat is perched up on top of the roof like an idiot. The only thing worse than this is when they have a fly bridge that they try to encase in cheap plastic to make it "weatherproof." Talk about an eyesore. Without exception, fly bridges on multihulls completely ruin the lines of the boat and are impractical in just about every sense of the word. But, designers are lazy and people with more money than sense keep buying them, so, unfortunately, they're going to continue to be out there. Gunboat and a few other designers have developed the perfect helm station. Will just have to see if others figure it out.

[@johnkosowski3321]

You replied, but I can't seem to find that reply. I think you were talking about the dangers of a higher sailplan. Has this been borne out in the data? Do Lagoon flybridges flip over more than other catamarans? I bet not. If I wanted to do the America's cup with a multihull, I probably wouldn't opt for a flybridge. But otherwise, fly bridges are super cool. You can see much farther at sea. And it is great being up there. I love it. High five for the fly bridge. Why do you think the fit and finish is poor? I am not saying it isn't. I saw a 45 performance model where the fit and finish was unimpressive. But in other areas such as the wiring and the systems both the 65 and 51 seem top notch. The interior is very euro, but that seems to be the style. If one were interested in performance such as light air sailing, it would be hard to not give the NEEL a good look. There are some videos of the 51 sailing in light air. Almost a paradox how such a behemoth of a vessel can sail so well in light air.

why is there no deck in the front?

[@forumboss2620]

Nicely executed. However, at this length a two-hulled catamaran makes WAY more sense than a Tri. Overall weight is less with two hulls and you have good design setup for dinghy between the hulls. Construction cost will be less for a cat.

This would be the perfect build for me .. but I visited the showing and found so many issues all centered on Build quality. Maybe send the manufacturing to South Africa or Asia where they can give more attention in this area. And maybe do some more changes to the interior its getting stale everything the same in a smaller or bigger version

[@goetzfrank4090]

With this size they are clearly in the luxury segment. I am an Architect not an interior boat designer but I really think they need to up their game in the design refinement. When it comes to design this cannot hold up to a, let’s say Fountain Pajot. I noticed this one on the smaller ones too. They need to hire a prime designer...many things to improve!!!

While I am impressed with the Neel Trimarans, I can't imagine what a marina would charge assuming they could even be able to accommodate a boat with this beam. Spacious doesn't seem an adequate description for this penthouse on floats. Still, if I had the means I would take a serious look at a Neel 51 to live out the autumn years of my life.

Agreed, the Neel 51 seems like a better deal to me. Probably a superior sailing yacht at half the tonnage. I'm not keen about the fly bridge either.

Very narrow access everywhere, I didn't notice any grab rails on the....well....pretty much anywhere they'd be useful....on a multi hull boat that heels while underway... Gonna have to say no way.

[@jamesaron1967]

I prefer cats as well but the tris have the edge (usually) on speed and other sailing characteristics. Some say they are also more stable when the rig is overpowered and therefore more safe. It depends what the owner is looking for and what features are prioritized over others.

[@lizsteeds6697]

I notice the odd boxy, pokey and dark feeling of the main saloon as a result of having a cabin on one side and the glassed in quasi-galley food prep area on the other. A solid wall at the front of the galley space has blocked natural light from reaching the rest of the area so, in conjunction with the cabin "stateroom " truncating the other side, what should have been a beautiful, dramatic space has been botched by poor design decisions. The quality of the overall finishes, the pokey cabins and odd design and layout have really marred what could have been an expansive and luxurious boat. This tri is not a patch on, say, the Lagoon catamaran range (50 - 77ft) which are all superbly designed for maximum light, spaciousness and understated luxe. Even the much smaller 50 ft Lagoon catamarans' main salon feels so much bigger than the dark and dated salon of the Neel 65ft Trimaran which has a cheap car ferry-esque aesthetic to its interior design and layout.
