CNB Yacht Builders Nominated for Elite Design Award

Luxe et al, a high-end yachting and aviation publication, has announced that CNB Yacht Builders has been shortlisted for Sailing Yacht under 40 Metres Award in The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2017.

The CNB 76 represents the first step into the super sailing yacht world. The CNB 76 embodies the shipyard’s will to develop a large, luxurious sailing yacht that would be the perfect transition between CNB Yacht Builders’ one-off and semi-custom yachts. Seafaring, elegant and functional, the CNB 76 is built in composite, and her hull and rigging are those of a 21st century yacht.

This Philippe Briand’s design truly symbolizes the yard’s convictions, which have not changed: “A CNB must be bewitching, reassuring and exalting: a yacht designed to go far, whose only limits are the ones dictated by practical seamanship.”

The strengths of Jean-Marc Piatton, interior designer, were to give to the layout of this sailing yacht the ability to manage a dedicated crew quarter with all the fundamental areas of the yacht as the saloon, the VIP cabins and the owner’ suite. Indeed, on this size of yacht, the crew need to have the most possible pleasure at work to offer their best to the owner and guests.

It is easy to do this on a 100′ yacht, but more complex on a 70′. The outside of the boat is also meaningful: a versatile cockpit with a maneuver area, a real dining table and a large sun pad but also a tender garage with easy access and a giant swimming platform.

There are more than 18 CNB 76s sailing around the world with owners from U.S., Australia, Asia, and Europe. The CNB 76 is the perfect balance for an owner who desires a seaworthy sailing yacht of 76′ with all the comfort onboard and a real crew quarter. The design is the perfect combination between space, light and different areas.

Indeed, with a truly panoramic view, you will keep an eye on the sea from everywhere in the salon, in any position. The different areas are well separated but still integrated in a whole design: crew quarter and galley, saloon, VIP cabins and owner’s suite.

Since 1987, CNB has been building sailing and motoryachts in aluminium and high tech composite from 60′ to 200′. With more than 100 boats delivered to yachtsmen and connoisseurs, CNB has acquired unparalleled experience meeting the highest standards of technology and luxury. CNB offers one-off yachts and a semi-custom line of yachts from 60′ to 94′.
