Layout
Hull #6 of the NEO 430 Roma full carbon, semi-custom cruiser / racer designed by Giovanni Ceccarelli and built by NEO YACHTS & COMPOSITES.
NEOJIVARO was built for her current owner and launched in July 2022. She has been meticulously prepared to race fully crewed at the top of IRC (and ORC), with up to 10 (offshore) and 12 (inshore) Corinthian sailors. The ultimate objective was to race the RORC Transatlantic Race.
Built using state of the art technologies and the best available raw materials and components, the whole production process and the prototype itself have been certified as "A category OCEAN" from "E NAVE BUREAU". All the components are made in Europe and EC certified. Hull, deck, bulkheads, structural interiors and all reinforcements are made of hi density PVC core, multidirectional fiberglass and carbon fibers, infused with epoxy resin LV 26 from GURIT, post cured at 65°.
Keel and longitudinal reinforcements are made of multiaxial and unidirectional solid carbon fiber directly infused on the hull. Built-ln carbon fiber chainplates and headstay attachment. Spa bonded hull and deck joint with triple carbon tapers in the hi load areas.
NEOJIVARO MAIN OPTIONS
Fixed T keel made of a Weldox 700 with CFD optimized shell and CNC machined lead bulb. Welds were checked with Dye Penetrant Test by expert commissioned by buyer.

Broker Comments
"NeoJivaro" is an exciting all-rounder. Clearly setup more for offshore than inshore by her current owner, the attention to detail is really some of the best we have seen at this size and type and the boat is now exceptionally well proven and reliable. With distance racing under IRC his focus, that has been the main objective with his campaign, but we know sistership are thriving under the ORC rating rule as well and they are also superbly capable inshore as well, given they are not overly radical in their chines or foil design. Her "IRC optimization" has been limited to the sail plan, so weights / appendages / rig's etc remain the same as her sisterships, so she is very flexible depending on the next owners plans. Just concluding a comprehensive refit in S France, we welcome your interest.
