The Neel 45 represents a seminal moment in the evolution of multihull design, marking the point where the performance-oriented trimaran was successfully reimagined as a legitimate blue-water cruising platform. Launched in 2011 and designed by the renowned firm Joubert-Nivelt, this 45-foot trimaran challenged the hegemony of cruising catamarans by offering a unique "live-on-one-level" layout that bridged the gap between the speed of a racing trimaran and the volume of a modern cruising boat. The model was a critical success, earning both the Cruising World Innovation Award and the Sail Magazine Best Boats award in 2013. Its construction utilizes vacuum-infused polyester resin with a PVC foam core, balancing structural rigidity with a relatively light displacement of approximately 14,300 lbs—a weight-to-length ratio that allows it to outpace most production catamarans in its class.
