About

Neel 45 - 2015

Rare on the Market in the South Pacific — An Exceptional Opportunity for Offshore Cruising Enthusiasts

Peikea is a stunning Neel 45 trimaran designed by renowned architects Joubert & Nivelt at the very beginning of the Neel adventure. Built in 2015 in La Rochelle by the French shipyard Naval Force 3, she is hull number 12 in the series. Constructed with top-quality materials, she remains in outstanding condition to this day. Her contemporary design and clever layout offer remarkable comfort for life on board.

She has sailed extensively in the Atlantic and the Pacific before being listed for sale in New Zealand in 2020. The current owners acquired her in September 2021 in French Polynesia for a long-term cruising project. Since then, they have lived aboard full-time and sailed over 15,000 nautical miles in the South Pacific, maintaining the boat meticulously and investing heavily in upgrades. As a result, she is now in excellent overall condition, with a brand-new mainsail and standing rigging replaced in July 2025.

Ready to Sail Anywhere

Fully equipped for bluewater cruising:

  • 1,260 W solar panels
  • Lithium battery
  • Watermaker (70 L/h)
  • Coppercoat antifouling (2024–2025), eliminating the need for haul-outs for several years

Performer Under Sail

The Neel 45 is highly regarded for her solid construction and excellent sailing performance. Light and responsive, she sails well even in light winds and can cover 200 nautical miles per day with ease. Over the past four years, she has logged only 255 engine hours for more than 15,000 NM under sail.

Comfortable Living Spaces

Designed for single-level living, this trimaran is ideal for long-term cruising:

  • 3 double cabins, two with panoramic views of the sea and stars
  • Galley with double sink, integrated trash bin, 3-burner gas stove, 144 L drawer-style fridge, 53 L freezer, and generous storage
  • Spacious saloon with a triangular table seating 6
  • Well-equipped navigation station, allowing for inside steering and routing
  • Cockpit layout includes 2 benches, 2 fixed tables, new high-quality upholstery, and a bimini with side panels for full weather protection

The outer hulls offer extensive storage:

  • Port hull: general equipment storage
  • Starboard hull: sail locker and spare parts storage

Navigation & Deck Equipment

  • Standing rigging replaced in July 2025
  • New mainsail, July 2025 (60 m², 2x automatic reefs – Dacron Contender 11.38 oz)
  • Headsails: Genoa and staysail serviced in July 2025.  Asymmetric spinnaker and gennaker in good condition, lightly used
  • Recent anchor gear (2023–2024): windlass, chain, and Mantus 25 kg anchor

  • New rudder (2024)
  • Volvo 55 hp engine: 2,530 hours total, only 255 hours over the last 4 years
  • Saildrive serviced in 2024, in excellent condition for continued use

Electronics & Communication

  • Full B&G electronics suite: radar, two chartplotters, AIS, and new autopilot
  • iPad on board for routing, weather files, and digital logbook
  • Communications: VHF, Starlink antenna, SSB Radio and Iridium GO

A Unique Trimaran, Ready to Go

I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to both of you and The Multihull Company team for the outstanding job you did in successfully closing the sale of our Excess 14.

The transaction was completed smoothly and in good time, which is a true credit to your dedication and expertise. Very well done.
Thank you again, and I wish you all the very best.
Warm regards,

We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon. From the very beginning, he demonstrated deep knowledge of the catamaran we were considering and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. He found us the perfect vessel that matched our needs and budget and negotiated a fantastic deal on our behalf.

What truly set him apart was he responsiveness—every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly, and he guided us through the entire process with professionalism and care. We couldn’t be happier with the service and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated yacht broker.

The process of selling our boat was made very smooth by the Multihull Company and Andrew Hodgdon in particular. Andrew helped us navigate the selling process including moving our boat from Grenada to Florida to execute the sale. We would recommend working with this company, and Andrew Hodgdon in particular, without hesitation.
