ABOUT

Designed for offshore racing and cruising, the Nevo950 embodies cutting-edge naval architecture and a sleek, aggressive design.

Tailored for events like the Middle Sea Race, Giraglia, and Transquadra, this 9.5-meter racer-cruiser offers multiple rig and keel configurations, ensuring top performance under IRC/ORC ratings. With an ergonomic layout inspired by open-class vessels, it is optimised for short-handed sailing, where speed, stability, and comfort are combined. Designed with sustainability in mind, the latest eco-friendly innovations in composite boatbuilding are integrated into the Nevo950. 

the VISION

In response to the growing demand for high-performance boats that can be managed by a reduced crew, the shift towards shorthanded offshore racing has expanded from Northern Europe to the Mediterranean. This trend is driven by limited crew availability and the need for optimised downwind performance. 

The Nevo950 fills the gap between the restrictive Classe Mini and the costly, professionalised Class40.

Designed with both speed
and comfort in mind

Its refinement ensures compatibility and optimisation within the most prestigious rating divisions and transoceanic regatta limits. 

Need more speed? Upgrades to its rig and appendages have been designed to meet the demands of more challenging sailing while maintaining compatibility with the existing, more powerful Classe950.

The Hull Design

In light of these considerations, we pursued a hull with reduced length, and consequently a lower rating, while enhancing planing ability, power, and stability. An innovative scow hull design was adopted, complemented by a carefully studied rocker profile that better suits prevailing Mediterranean conditions, and introduces originality when compared with current design trends. 

The Layout

In a world of electronics and data-driven sailing, we decided to put ergonomics at the centre of our design considerations.

The large, partially covered closed cockpit integrates seamlessly with an interior that extends longitudinally toward the bow. This layout follows the forward shift of the maximum beam and aligns with cruising design principles, accommodating a spacious bathroom/sail locker and a forward double cabin, both fully compatible with the racing configuration and optimised for weight.

Eco-Conscious

We applied recent research in composite boatbuilding decarbonisation to this and other projects, considering the possibilities and requirements of each case.

Above all, we remain committed to avoiding greenwashing and to making accountable decisions that effectively lower our carbon footprint.

DESIGN

The Nevo950 combines performance and ergonomics with a scow hull optimised for Mediterranean conditions.

Its planing capability ensures speed, while the interior balances racing efficiency with practical cruising features. Incorporating decarbonisation technologies, it maintains sustainability without compromising performance. Designed by Michele Molino Naval Architecture, every detail is precisely engineered.
