Another great video, many thanks. Very good to see the handling methods, and explanations on everything and placements of systems components. I have been trolling the internet looking at where to get a Neel, which size, layout, etc and all this is of really high benefit. I have discovered that what is needed is someone with the experience like you have, to use your knowledge to help us find, buy, and deliver these superb yachts for us. Locating a decent Trimaran, having an honest appraisal done, an insurance inspection organized, any upgrades done, and then delivery organised and done, is a nightmare. It presently involves having to trust Brokers that don't sail them, opinions that are mostly based on limited experience with them, and organizing haul outs on the other side of the world is near impossible. Especially when you live down here in New Zealand and cannot fly due to medical reasons. You videos are helping us to make decisions, but finding a good value for money one to purchase is another story in it's own. Any videos possible on this point ?
@@carryonsailing Many thanks for your offer, at the present time I am looking at the Rapido 60 construction details, and having discussions as to possible modifications. It is possible that I may end up with a 75 - 80 giving extra room for crew. My Legal people have your contact details and will be in touch-awaiting the next venue for the Americas Cup before organizing my crew. Word from the inside is that it will be in the Med.
@@carryonsailing No problem, I can clarify it for you. I want a Trimaran for a circumnavigation, taking in the next Americas Cup along the way, starting in Auckland and something fast, strong, reliable, with room for an experienced crew plus 2 "passengers". No children, no dogs, cats or budgies, and room for 2 paramotors, 2 flightboards, plus a yacht tender capable of tow starting a non-motorized paraglider to 1,000 ft. 2 sea kayaks, (at least ) and one of the crew must be a competent drone camera operator. ( full onboard equipment supplied with RUclips uploading capacity included ) It is a "bucket List" thing, I am 63, semi-retired NZ Sheep/Cattle/Ostrich Farmer, and are cashed up. Although I have been sailing since starting in P Class when 8 yrs old, my offshore has been restricted to Coastal NZ and my present monohull is not suitable nor Cat 1. Better to just buy that decent yacht I always planned to get. Hence my interest in your videos.
Thanks so much for your videos, they really transmit the feeling of a solo sailor. And thanks specially for the parts about lines, they are so informative. Be sure we all envy you real bad!! Please do keep them coming. Byes!!
Great video and good to know that the 51 can be also sailed singlehanded. Would you be able to share additional content on tips and tricks on singelhanded sailing and maneuvers for the Neel?
I've always thought that the dinghy on the Neels should store parallel with the boat instead of perpendicular to it. It's difficult to explain in a comments section but imagine driving straight up to the back of the boat and onto a rack the shape of a parallelogram that is half submerged in the water. You could board and disembark easily because the dinghy would propel itself onto the rack with the front half of the dinghy out of the water. I imagine three positions for the rack. 1. half in the water for active dinghy retrieval. 2. 3/4 of the way raised for storage of the dinghy under normal conditions. 3. 100% up and the nose of the dinghy would intrude into the living area of the boat but it would be very stable for rough conditions. I imagine a dedicated line driver to raise and lower the parallelogram rack in and out of the water. It's easier said than done but I think it's possible. Hopefully someday I'll get a Neel 47 and have a chance to try it out!
Especially loved the docking portion. It was great to get a sense of how she handles. Especially single handed. Do you ever wish your Genoa tracks were further outboard? Or had poles to get the clew further out?
@@carryonsailing I too appreciated the docking section. Obviously, you can hear the bow thruster so that makes a big difference, but could you please speak to or show a video of close quarters maneuverability? What's you biggest 24 hour mileage so far?!
Thanks for the video @carryonsailing, always great to see the Neel51 flying on the sea. Nice and smooth solo docking, congrats ! Are your Zeus a 12´ at the helm and a 9’ at the chart table or both 12’ ? How is the webasto eater performing when it’s really cold outside ? Please keep posting, we do really appreciate your views. Take care. P.
Both 12, but now that the software update has fixed the problems with the display you could try having only one at the helm and using the link app on an ipad or android device
I forgot to mention that the webasto Aircon and diesel heater are very very good. Although the aircon requires some Maintainance it is easy to do. the diesel heater requires none.
@@carryonsailing A diesel heater requires to be run for few minutes every few weeks. With mine If I forget it then next time it doesn't start from the first attempt.
Hi, could you make a video where you address the issues that Wiley Sharp was talking about. I heard you saying in a video that you don't agree with him. Can you tell more about the rolling at anchor, is there a difference to a catamaran? How much does it lean can you talk about that, does it become uncomfortable when on long passage? How does it behave in rought weather, do the slim hulls hobbyhorse less then an equivalent cat would do? What about waves slaming under the bridedeck is that different? IM strongly considering a Neel 51, I think its a brilliant design but I don't know who to ask these questions else. The neel salesreps will be biased. Looking forward to reply.
The long story short is it is more comfortable in my view. The feeling is slightly different but no less comfortable. Underway it is infinitely more comfortable. I recommend you sail one before you buy.
@@carryonsailing haha, but aren't you afraid of that sometimes? I mean, it doesn't take much 😄 maybe a waterproof mini remote for the rudder would be great, so you can at least face the wind and swim back

Stephen, would you like some help? also I will be selling my ship in a few months

Very nice docking at the end. Showing us all how to master a forward spring line until fully docked. Nicely done, Captain.
Thanking you kindly!
watched it all through... twice! keep the deep dives coming!
Thanks for your kind comments
VERY nice 👌 saw how you did that spring line effect on the dock very very much like a BOSS thanks for great sailing tips!!
Glad you liked it! There are heaps more tips in the more recent videos.
You're awesome! If only I could keep that calm during a docking maneuver :)
Thanks. Isn't always easy though!

Thanks Santiago. I'm makes me happy that I can help with information in these times of misinformation!
Awesome vid man, love learning about the 51. Can't wait to get mine. Keep them coming.
Excellent vid. Thanks very much for all your first hand tips. Invaluable. 👍
Thanks for the comments Steve. Carry on!
brilliant tips!!!

Sure thing! Good suggestion
Excellent mooring!
thanks!
Just subscribed, looking forward to more videos.👍🏻⛵🌬

Yes not a bad idea. However that rear deck gets submerged and if you were to pull the dingy up inboard it would take up the cockpit space considerably
Another great one James! Thanks.
Looks great and I like your pov angle. Are you shooting with the HERO7 black on a head strap?
No I left it on the helm. There is a ledge just above the dials and the zeus display
I like your tech tour style. It makes me want one of those boats :)
Especially loved the docking portion. It was great to get a sense of how she handles. Especially single handed.
Do you ever wish your Genoa tracks were further outboard? Or had poles to get the clew further out?
I use a barber hauler in very light winds, but no generally they are fine

I'm just wondering: what happens if you fall in the water, are you totally wasted or can you remote control the boat back?
Wasted probably
@@carryonsailing haha, but aren't you afraid of that sometimes? I mean, it doesn't take much 😄 maybe a waterproof mini remote for the rudder would be great, so you can at least face the wind and swim back
Good idea, switching off autopilot would turn the boat into the wind so actually not a bad idea.
