What distinguishes the model
- The Neel 47 sails briskly even in light winds and has won the transatlantic ARC several times against considerably more expensive boats.
- Saloon, galley and owner's cabin are on one level, creating an open panoramic saloon with high liveaboard value.
- Hulls and deck are made of Airex PVC foam without balsa, with vinylester as osmosis protection and carbon reinforcement of the main bulkheads.
