What this video covers

Three Neel trimarans—a Neel 43, a Neel 47 named Supernova, and a Neel 51—anchor together in Georgetown, Exumas, before buddy boating north through the Bahamas.0:53 The crew of the Neel 43 prepares for light-wind sailing by rigging an asymmetric spinnaker, noting that unlike the boat's storm sail and genoa, the spinnaker lacks a UV-protective cover and requires removal when not in use.2:13 The fleet stops at Emerald Bay Marina to take on water before continuing five miles north to anchor at Children's Key.5:00 Upon arrival, the Neel 47 drops anchor first, followed by the Neel 43 and a Beneteau Sense 50 named Jump Off, which rafts up alongside them.6:27 The crew snorkels to inspect the anchor set in the clear water.7:04 The Neel 51 features a centralized mechanical space for the motor and equipment, while the Beneteau Sense 50 offers a U-shaped cockpit that converts into a sun pad.9:20
