A performance monohull with outriggers ....intriguing....but give me the Balance versa helm ..performance with quality.. if your main preference is performance. Otherwise I'm looking at the time your spending at anchor...and 2 engines vs 1 ......So many other Catamarans I'd be entertaining....Enjoy your journey....curious on your choice...
Re 6:56, i'd install a camera probably on the mast tobe able to view port side area for maneuvering. I have a rearview camera in my SUV for backing up view, although I still lije looking back the old fashioned way.
Just began watching this channel by starting on the Boat Reviews playlist. You guys are a fun couple. I think I've figured out which boat you've bought - the hint on the water bottle helped. Looking forward to the splash. New sub here.
Re 2:45 you compared a Trimaran as more stable than a catamaran in capsizing. However, I think your example of using a small racer catamaran was unfair since your purchase ideas/ideals are about performance cruisers. Both Tri and Bi Cats are genrally stable and rarely ever capsize when considering the cruser and performance cruisers. I also think the side-to-side rocking of trimarans are felt way more than catamarans in rough waters, comparable sizes by many video observations.
Fair point. However, the intent of the clip was to show a catamaran pitch poling, not comparing a small versus large or performance versus cruiser. Apologies for any confusion.
Thank you! We greatly appreciate that comment. We’ve not received any type of compensation from any body manufacturer, nor do we seek any. We’re financially independent and our thoughts and opinions are ours alone.
We really wanted it to be our boat, but we couldn't get past some of the initial build issues. Hopefully down the road those issues will get fixed. Or maybe even a competitor will enter the market.
@@GTFOplan hej, guys. Love your channel. And a great boat you have chosen too.. But I am curious, what build issues on the Neel besides cheap finish on the details?
Hi have you guys seen the Polish familly with their early Neel.. Their chanel is called Sailing Oceans... They are currently refitting their vessel polly back in Gadansk.
@@GTFOplan Im a follower and ive been throwing E power technology ideas there way for the past year.. so you will find a lot of ideas under their power options post for Pollys refit.
@@GTFOplan Im not a hundred percent sure as i dont speak polish but due to the Political shinanigens going on with 🇺🇦 and the economic situation they have had to slow down their plans.. They also lost their winter cover in a storm fortunately after they did most of the glass work. 🤞🏼👍🏼
It is a nice boat and it’s the first one we really fell in love with. Hopefully they’ve fixed some of initial issues. However, the poor ventilation is something we couldn’t get past.
Love you guys! Why didn't you end up going with his one? Seems like you loved it. We are VERY interested in purchasing one, but have not been able to actually see/sail one in person in the US - very frustrating. Did notice that the ventilation could be better.
Hi Angela! Thank you for watching us and commenting! Ventilation was a big factor for not choosing the Neel 51. We also had concerns with build quality and customer service. Hopefully Neel has fixed that, because we still love the design. Looks like Neel will be at the Miami boat show, but only with a 43'. Good luck in your search!
Where did you get the graph of sailing performance you are using- SA/D vs D/L? If you made it would you share it? Its hard yo read in the videos and I’m very curious to see where various boats end up.
Here's the thread, and somewhere in there is the spreadsheet that has the formula: www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f48/catamaran-comparison-sa-d-vs-d-l-201715.html
Lucas Barcellos we’re working on it now, so soon! We can’t wait to release it because we’re so excited to share our future boat with everyone. Thank you for watching!
Would love to no what boat you own Bert as I am betting your just a pathetic boat dealer who loves knocking other boat brands without knowing all sides to the story.
@@RogerWilco1 There were two boats with issues the 45 I no about and what caused the issues with it was a moron of a owner who tried to tow a motorboat with it and sailed it in 30 knots of wind without reefing. As for the issues with the 51 I don't know. I do know 3 of my friends own Neel 51,s and they love them and apart from usual new boat teething issues have no issues with them. Put it this way I've owned two Oysters a Riva and a Discovery 55 and I am happily placing my order for a Neel 51 2nd week of September.
The most intriguing boat on the market, thats for sure.

Hopefully you have had a chance to see our reveal video... :)

Most likely we will have a mast mounted camera along with one underneath to observe the anchor.

U fellows seem to be honest when it comes to your reviews. Good thing u have not sold your souls.

If I had the money my boat would be the 51!

Thank you! Poor ventilation was also a concern for us. We also didn’t get the warm customer service vibe either.
@@GTFOplan thank you guys. Yes ventilation is a big one that's for sure. Balance is a thing of beauty. Safe travels!!

Ah right at the end you've met them.. 😁🇬🇧🧙♂️
Yes! They’re an awesome family. We enjoyed being able to stay with them.

Love the Neel 51' I would buy it

@@GTFOplan thanks for your video, if you had your time again would you buy the Neel51?
If Neel adjusted the design to provide better ventilation and fixed the quality control issues, then maybe.

I cant wait!!!

You guys bought a Balance Catamaran...just wondering which size?//
Spoiler alert? We did also have a trimaran logo so don’t be too sure...
Did you see this review? ruclips.net/video/Ba8tbK8OoFY/видео.html
Yes, we saw that review and agree that Neel rushed the 47 to premier at the LGM boat show.
Nice vid, but that`s not your boat ;)
Would love to no what boat you own Bert as I am betting your just a pathetic boat dealer who loves knocking other boat brands without knowing all sides to the story.
@@SCYorks ha ha, wrong.
Neel? Really?
Our next video will reveal which one we actually bought! Thank you for watching!
Nothing wrong with Neel 51 3 of my friends have one and love it.
@@GTFOplan Look forward to it.
