Racing has always been a priority in Nelo's strategy, they believe that the demand for perfection from professional athletes is the best warranty to improve their standards and their quality.

The Vanquish 2nd generation is their 3rd self designed line, it is the result of 8 years of work where they tried to balance the information they collected and their own research and testing.

The shape is the most important factor in the concept of a racing boat and the Vanquish II combines this with many other factors to be one of the best.
