What distinguishes the model
- The Neel 45 sails on trade-wind courses at cruising speeds of nine to twelve knots, thus shortening the time in the swell.
- Galley and saloon are on one level in the centre hull, plus cabins with sea views and ample storage in the floats.
- Eric Bruneel's concept combines the lightness of a catamaran with the sailing feel of a monohull.
