NEEL 47 *MINIMOLE* leading the field at the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers 2022

Dear multihullers,

the sailing season 2022, which surprised us with irrepressible weather phenomena, now also on the European seas, and caused enormous damage, has been sailed. The first boat shows, after the lockdowns caused by the pandemic, were well attended again and others, such as the boot in Düsseldorf 2023, are planned with confidence. The boatyards surprise with innovations and new models. All of this in inflationary times, with difficult social conditions that challenge our ability to think beyond everyday life. In times of oscillating Covid-19 incidences, we are also being shaken by a war in Europe this year. World trade is coughing, supply chains are disrupted, grain carriers are rusting in the roadstead instead of distributing the wheat around the world. Europe's dependence on raw materials is slowing down the economy and accelerating inflation. Our world is changing and we arrange ourselves.

Life plans are adapted to the destabilized everyday situation. Dreams of setting off into a limitless life under sail are awakened and realized. The order books of the shipyards are correspondingly full, and the market for used multihulls has been swept empty. If possible, everyday life that has been thrown into emergency mode, will be circumnavigated individually. We have adjusted our shipyard portfolio accordingly, currently defining and signing new construction orders for several handovers in spring 2024. In addition, sensational records are set by the multihulls on the Route du Rhum. First and foremost, the “low flight”, which lasted 6 days, 19 hours, 47 minutes and 25 seconds, of the 30m Maxi-trimaran *Edmond de Rothschild*, which shattered all previous records.

ITACATAMARAN sailing ahead at the ARC-2022

       

The ITACATAMARANS team manufactures individually defined owner versions of the ITA14.99 design, awarded the title MULTIHULL OF THE YEAR 2020. This design combines impressive lines and Italian boat building art in a carbon/EPOXY construction, of course built in the vacuum infusion process. Each ITACATAMARAN is individually config- ured according to the owner's wishes and manufactured in a twelve-month construction period to meet the highest standards of quality and design.

 
NEEL Trimarans

NEEL 52

NEEL 52 NEW 2023 plan-presentation at the boot Düsseldorf, 15-B-41 with cat sale

The NEEL 51 design was awarded the titles "Europe's Yacht of the Year" and "Multihull of the Year" in 2018, as well as "Boat of the Year" in the USA in 2019.

 

After almost fifty NEEL 51 trimarans were handed over, the Marc Lombard Design Office was commissioned to construct an optimized design for the 50' Ocean Class segment, which had been successfully occupied by NEEL trimarans. The result is the NEEL 52, which can be individually adapted to the respective sailing program with numerous layout variants. Everything is new about this design, and still benefits from the proven virtues of the successful predecessor model. The construction of the first NEEL 52 has started, and we expect the presentation of the prototype, NEEL 52 N°1, in La Rochelle as early as February 2023.

The "soft opening" will then be followed by a six-month test sail phase. In addition to the constructors, designers and boat builders, we also invite interested customers to optimize the new NEEL 52 design for the series with as many knowledgeable people as possible. We are constantly supervising new builds of the NEEL trimaran designs and are always happy to answer any questions you may have! Due to the innovative overall concept and the outstanding sailing ability, we are enthusiastic about the NEEL trimarans, which combine the spacious and comfortable living space on three hulls with the esprit and sailing fun of the classic yacht in an exemplary manner.

On request, we offer sailing tests on board the NEEL trimarans directly at the shipyard in La Rochelle. We would like to convince you with the outstanding sailing performance and the successful space utilization concept of these nimble trimarans.

 

 
AVENTURA

NEW! AVENTURA 45 Renderings to be presented by cat sale at the boot Düsseldorf in January 2023

AVENTURA catamarans from Tunisia convince with solid boat construction, modern LASTA design and good prices. cat sale has been representing the Aventura shipyard in German-speaking Europe since 2002 and plans to hand over seven more new builds from 37-45' to the proud owners in 2023. The most produced AVENTURA 37 design to date was nominated as "EUROPEAN MULTIHULL OF THE YEAR 2021".

The AVENTURA 14 POWER catamaran received the *MULTIHULL OF THE YEAR 2022* award in France. Due to the great demand, the shipyard management has streamlined the production lines and will only produce three types from 2023: AVENTURA 37 / AVENTURA 14 POWER / and from autumn the AVENTURA 45 (plan presentation with cat sale at the boot in Düsseldorf).
