Construction
Integrated Manufacturing Expertise
Located on La Rochelle’s renowned nautical hub, NEEL Trimarans operates two production facilities dedicated exclusively to the construction of its trimarans.
Our teams master every stage of the manufacturing process, from the very first lamination operations through to the launch of each yacht.
By investing in recruitment, training and the continuous development of our teams, we are committed to delivering outstanding build quality together with long-term reliability.
Optimized construction
NEEL trimarans are manufactured with materials and techniques best suited to their use, combining strength, rigidity and weight reduction.
- Hull, floats, bridges and roof are made in vacuum bonded PVC/foam and glass fibre/ isophthalic polyester resin sandwich structural material.
- The boards are fabricated from honeycomb PVC vacuum bonded with glass fibre/isophthalic polyester resin structural material.
- Resin is infused through Fibreglass according to a sampling plan determined by finite element structural analysis gained from our experience in the construction of racing craft and offshore cruising. Depending on their role in the structure of the trimaran, the type and number of glass fibers are either unidirectional, bidirectional, 0 ° / 90 ° or bi-directional 45 ° / 45 °, Quadri-directional, TAFTA, roving or twill.
- Phonic and thermal insulation, along with floatation (unsinkability) are provided by the interior of PVC foam sandwich laminates. This closed-cell foam is perfect for the marine environment being virtually insensitive to moisture.
- Rigging and sails are designed and produced by multi hull specialists in La Rochelle.
- Interior coverings (linings, floor, upholstery) have all been tested rigorously in oceanic conditions before being selected for your NEEL-TRIMARANS.
