Living quarters tips and tour onboard a NEEL 51 

Hi there ! How are you ? Why do are you selling your boat ?

Probably the best, honest review of a yacht that I have ever seen. I appreciate that you are a doctor and a presenter however, how much are you asking? Thanks for sharing your insights from a fellow English man with only 11years in the Royal Navy and 3 years racing. Your yacht is exactly what I’m looking for. Much love to you and your family ❤ I will ping you on your mail. I want to secure a yacht where I have a relationship with the previous owners, that they want to join for a month sailing every year.

Your channel, along with those of SV Delos, Zingaro, Uma, La Vagabonde, and a few others, is one that I follow regularly. I found you because of the Neel 51 trimaran, which I think is the best blue option for cruising without having to pay twice as much for a good monohull. I'm from Portugal, and I love your knowledge, your wise explanations, and, of course, the video recording from Eva. I have nothing to say about your shepard, because I love dogs too. I hope you come back soon with a new boat and, who knows, maybe a new family. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your new stage. I wish you happiness, good health, and moments to share. Cheers!

Great to have you back posting! You’ve been missed😊

Wish your channel would blow up. Your channel doesn't have the glittter and glamour of a typical channel. No music, no cutway shots, no bare ass cheeks hanging out in the background. Just some down to earth, behind the scenes, free-flowing thoughts and insights of someone with legitmate experience. Hope you keep posting..

I love it, "You could even store small child in there.:" LOL

Hey James, how are you doing? Pity to hear, you are selling, but spending more time with the family is always a good thing! I can fully understand you! Now is still quite early for us, since we are leaving with the ARC/worldARC end 2024, but the Neel 51 still is our favourite and it clicks almost all boxes for us! When is your deadline and where will you sell it then? Ads are online already? Curious about your ask too,... Wishing you all the best! Cheers, Jan

I was getting worried. Hope Panama treated you well. Glad your back.

I like the 43 & 47 the 51 is just too big....if it's a monohull then I would get a 50+ but on a multihull over 50 is just way to big if you plan on doing a lot of solo sailing its good for entertaining many guests

Hi James, Sad that you are giving up sailing for a while. What are your thoughts on composting heads as an alternative to bidets?? My thoughts on black tanks are 🤮🤮🤮🤮 a smelly liability. Dry waste to my way of thinking is much more sanitary to dispose of rather than a tank of sewage.

I have been a traditional sailor, ie, monohulls, enamored with the nautical, romantic, sea faring interior styling, like the gorgeous Hylas 56 and the smaller Hylas yachts. I find the French yachts and all the multihull yacht interiors to emulate contractor grade spec housing. Yuk. I do not want to spend many hundreds of thousands of dollars and reside in a cheap looking, square cornered cabinet, laminated motel room. The Niels are not as bad as most, but still have the interiors of a 60th floor NY loft condo, rather than that of a yacht. But they are better than most. What is most impressive about the Neil is the sailboat design. Stable platform, smart helm station, speed, upwind pointing ability, intelligent layout and a Star Trek worthy external presence. Lots and lots to applaud in this boat. In my worthless opinion, I extol the Enterprise exterior, but just wish it could be integrated with a Black Pearl, or Hylas, interior. Alas.

Another good video, very informative. Always loved the Neel 51. Good luck with your future endeavors.

Hi, James, great video with really useful information as always. Very interesting your take on the grab bag, as Tappio in the GGR was only able to grab his coms one before having to jump into the life raft makes you think especially having a young family. All the best for your future endeavours.

I am Interested in purchasing, how do I get more info??

great Vid James, Lay-z-boy........pure genius!!!

Hi James, good video as usual. Shame it is too good, may attract buyers who can be quicker then me and beat me to the goalpost!

I use my immersion blender all the time. wow, I have friends from Uruguay and they are always drinking mata. I tried it, but it is not something I like at all.

Welcome Back! Missed you.

The Neel 51 still impresses with its sheer living space and endless storage capacity throughout the yacht. It's really hard to believe when compared to the cramped quarters and lack of storage of other yachts (cats). Nothing quite like it in this size or price bracket. The Neel 47 has an interior window in the main deck cabin to view the nav station. To my surprise, I recently found out it's also available as an option in the Neel 51, yet I have never seen a Neel 51 video with that particular window outfitted, only on the 47. I can't imagine why any buyer would not want to have such a useful feature. Neel is also preparing the 52 for its debut next year around the end of summer. I hope they keep all the great features and layout of the 51 and just make improvements/refinements on a solid design. Thanks for all the tips and suggestions. Many things I haven't thought of. Great video.

Great to see you back James. Just recently found your channel and I'm now really liking your ship!

Great video, super informative. Have you sold your boat? How much for a beautiful sailing vessel like this?

Very informative. Love the idea of a small solar panel in the life raft to charge up the electronics

Really good to see you again. Good video. Hope all is well.

Great and very very informative video. Allot of helpful, and money saving knowledge being shared here, thanks

James, how much kilo can the lift system and or the stern for the dinghy have? Do you know that?

James !...welcome back

😀

Thank you James once again, a lot of alpha!!

James, welcome back.....

Is she still for sale? 😊

Get an Argon One V2 case for your Raspberry Pi. It has active (fan) and passive (aluminium case) cooling. I have one in my campervan. Combined with a powered USB hub you can plug loads of USB devices into it.

Hi James, my greatest compliments. You are doing an amazing job, sharing an honest perspective with some great insights, thank you. What is your best email to discuss asking price and specific questions? Have a safe trip and best wishes, Bodo 🙂

Oh wow, a Neel tri for your personal boat - fascinating! I'm super curious about these, interesting boats.

What a great video with so much information .Thank you.

Another good post James. Thank you. Some great tips in there. Good luck with the sale!

@carry on sailing This was definitely a good video to save. Thank you James, try turning you pineapple upside down until it browns/ ripens. A Spanish girl taught me that trick and it's incredible how much tastier and palatable the change made! I think you'll be as amazed as I was.

Thank you for sharing your insights. Would you have any guidance on Marina mooring fees for a NEEL 51 around the Mediterranean countries? Thank you, Bodo
