The Neel 47 trimaran bridges the gap between the Neel 45 and Neel 51. It also shares the same outstanding interior volume and clever use of space as seen aboard not only these two boats, but also the flagship of the line, the Neel 65 Evolution. Standout features include a pair of large double cabins in the outer hulls accessible from the cockpit; optional single bunks in the bows (ideal for children); a trademark Neel owner’s suite on the top level; a full-width cockpit and large galley; and a walk-through “garage” below the saloon, where machinery and tankage are concentrated. A self-tacking jib makes shorthanded sailing a snap, while a larger outboard genoa provides extra speed, especially off the wind. Fine wave-piercing bows, a powerful main and lightweight construction all speak to the boat’s performance potential.
