Autremer Concept's brand new boat Quarterback, a NEEL 45 trimaran is sailing from La Rochelle, France to Martinique island.
It took 9 days to reach Las Palmas from France, due a 4 days and 3 nights storm with an intense wind even reaching 70 knots.
The second part of the transat from Las Palmas to Martinique took 18 days, this time due to the persistent lack of wind.
The 5 members of the crew spend wonderful and comfortable days aboard thanks to the great sailing and living quality of the ship and the cook's skills.
The 2 Autremer concept NEEL 45 are available in Le Marin, Martinique.

This seems like the future of sailing. Fast, stable, roomy. 👍🏼👍🏾
Could you please share your experiences about the speed performance ? your avarege cruising speed ? speed values according to the wind force and angle ? Thank you in advance
One more question, how managable ( any disadvatages or ) this trimarans with one engine ?
nice video. Anyone know music started from 3:41?
How does the Neel manage in big seas? During the storm between France and Las Palmas there were some mighty big seas and it looked from inside like you were getting tossed around. Was that the case or was there a noticeable difference to say a monohull? great little vid - thanks
The Neel behaviour in big weather is very good, with the lower center of gravity of the boat and the float that stabilize the boat, it is never being lifted by the waves, and you don't fear it could capsize like a cat.
On our last trip from La Grand Motte to Corsica (with another Neel 45) we were amazed at the excellent behaviour under rough conditions.
You can see at czcams.com/video/lWChSZhoAmw/video.html how my wife was able to prepare dinner at high speed without the necessity of belting up or grabbing a handrail. This was at 14 knots speed....
Did you leave the dinghy hanging in the davits the whole time crossing the Atlantic?
Chicken Soup Yes, it was the safest place for it to be. It did not move at all even during very bad weather. The outboard engine was stored in one of the floats
useless tables at the stern
On our Trips with the Neel, we found them very usefull during good weather. It was essentially the center of communication, meals, reading, working,and hanging out.
Funny how all sailors head for their nations former colonial possessions
What’s ‘funny’ about it? Seems pretty normal to me.
