Ancona, 21 January 2014 – CRN signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with a client from mainland China industrial group for a 68 metres superyacht, the biggest vessel ever sold by CRN and Ferretti Group in China.

The historical shipyard of Ancona, part of Ferretti Group, specialising in the construction and sale of fully-customised displacement megayacht in steel and aluminium, ranging from 40 to 90 metres in length, signed on 14th January in Weifang, the first LOI for 2014 for the sale of a 68 metres megayacht.

The signing was carried out in the presence of Tan Xuguang, Chairman of Weichai Group and Ferretti Group;Representatives of Weichai Group Senior Management; Lamberto Tacoli, Chairman and CEO of CRN; Alessandro Tirelli, Ferretti Group Asia-Pacific Sales Director. Xu Xinyu, Executive President of Weichai Group and Ferretti Group, hosted the signing ceremony.

The delivery of the vessel, expected to happen in 2017, is a further step for the shipyard to enter an expanding market, the Chinese one, showing the great support received from the Weichai Group, a strategic partner, which is a competitive advantage for CRN and the Ferretti Group.

The 68 metres long and 12.50 metres wide superyacht project, fully custom and made out of steel and aluminium, has been created by Zuccon International Project.

One of the distinctive features of the new vessel is the innovative floodable garage, which allows the tender to enter the water without using a crane. Introduced for the first time by CRN on M/Y J’Ade 60 metres, exhibited for the first time at the Monaco Boat Show, is now being applied to a vessel of larger dimensions. The garage transforms a technical space into a new living area with a beach that the Owner’s family and guests can enjoy.

At the moment 6 vessels are being manufactured at the Ancona shipyard: 4 steel and aluminium CRN megayacts – CRN 131 of 74 m (designed by Zuccon International Project), CRN 132 of 73 m (designed by Omega Architects), CRN 133 of 60 m (designed by Francesco Paszkowski Design), CRN 134 of 55 m (designed by Nuvolari & Lenard) – together with a maxiyacht of the Ferretti Custom Line product line, the CL 124’, and a Riva, the 122’ Mythos made of aluminium will be added.

The CRN shipyard is today one of the most important international poles for building pleasure ships and is a model for research in style and continuous product evolution in terms of design and innovation. A long tradition of Italian excellence that, in 2013, has seen the realization of the new M/Y Chopi Chopi 80 metres, the biggest vessel ever built by CRN throughout its 50 years of history and among the 100 biggest megayacht built worldwide.

By signing the LOI for the sale of a new 68 metres megayacht in China, the shipyard has achieved an important result in view of the Hainan Rendez-Vous 2014, a high luxury event that will take place between 27 – 30th March in Sanya. In the light of this, CRN will be taking part in what has become, throughout these years, a strategic event.

“The signing of our first LOI for 2014 with a Chinese client is not only something to take pride in, but also a true witness of the strategic path we have embarked on,” affirms Lamberto Tacoli, Chairman and CEO of CRN. “The conquest of new markets, and above all that of the Asia-Pacific basin, is indeed a short-term fundamental objective for the brand, which will be pursued as we continue to invest in our assets: design, innovation, craftsmanship and the Made in Italy.”

Thanks to unique and innovative megayacht and the continuous project research, CRN presents itself as being synonymous with excellence which combines creativity, design, technology and craftsmanship, which gives rise to iconic products of the Made in Italy for Owners from all over the world, more and more appreciated by the Chinese market.

The launching of the new 60 metres CRN is approaching

Ancona, 5th February 2014 – Less than a month to go to the launch of the new 60 metres megayacht in steel and aluminium designed by CRN, part of the Ferretti Group and specialising in the construction of fully-customized displacement megayachts, made of steel and aluminium, ranging from 40 to 90 metres. Hull number 133 of the Ancona shipyard will be launched on March 1st at a private ceremony.

At the shipyard of Ancona work continues in view of the preparation for the ceremony: indeed, the megayacht was moved, with the help of a hydraulic travel lift, to the slipway, an inclined surface where the pre-launching operations will be carried out in the coming weeks while work on the interiors will continue. All the handling phases required great care and attention on the workers’ part.

This spectacular phase presents another work of art produced by the shipyard in all its grandeur. The external shape and internal layout of the new superyacht have been designed by Francesco Paszkowski in close collaboration with the CRN Technical Department which took care of the naval project, while the interior design was taken care of by the CRN Design Department in collaboration with the Owner’s Designer.

The vessel is strongly streamlined thanks to its sleek profile and elegant and sharp exterior lines which offer large external and internal volumes. The design solutions developed by CRN will offer constant contact with the marine elements.

At the moment, besides the 60 metre, 5 vessels of the CRN brand are being manufactured: namely, 3 steel and aluminium megayachts – CRN 131 74 m (designed by Zuccon International Project), CRN 132 73 m (designed by Omega Architects) and CRN 134 55 m (designed by Nuvolari & Lenard) – together with another maxiyacht of the Ferretti Custom Line, the CL 124’, and a Riva 122’ Mythos made of aluminium.

Two new letters of intent signed by CRN for the construction of two 44 metres megayachts

Ancona, 14th February 2014 – Two weeks after the signing of the Letter of Intent (LOI) for the construction of a 68 metres – the biggest megayacht ever sold in the Chinese market – CRN has signed two new LOI for the construction of two 44 metres megayachts, destined for the Middle-Eastern and European markets respectively.

CRN, part of the Ferretti Group and specialising in the construction of fully-customized displacement megayachts, made of steel and aluminium, ranging from 40 and 90 metres, shows its vitality once again only a few months after the 50th anniversary of the shipyard, which was celebrated in 2013.

For these two vessels CRN harks back to the great tradition and history of the brand, taking inspiration from SuperConero, the historic line of the seventies, in a project presented for the first time at the Monaco Yacht Show 2013. The project SuperConero 44 mt, a displacement megayacht with bulb, made of steel and aluminium, 44 metres long and 8.60 wide, within 500 GT, designed by Zuccon International Project and whose project design was developed by CRN Engineering, begins its concrete realization today for the first time with the signing of the two LOI.

The innovation and continual search for unique design solutions, both in the layout of the vessels and in the interiors, are characteristic traits of the shipyard, which offers on these 44metres megayachts all the most important innovations developed over the years: the balcony that can be enjoyed while sailing, the open terrace overlooking the sea, which can be enjoyed when moored offshore, the large beach club at the stern and, not least, the floodable garage for the tender. Introduced for the first time on a vessel on board the 60 metres megayacht M/Y J’Ade, the garage transforms a technical space into a living area for the first time, integrated with a beach, which creates a unique and extensive space at the waterline and can be enjoyed by the Owner’s family and guests. The garage can also hold a tender with a capacity of 10 people.

The transatlantic range, the project design and the manufacturing, to the highest standards acknowledged worldwide in the nautical industry (RINA and MCA), the large internal volumes and the predominant use of glass for the large floor-to-ceiling windows giving a constant view of the sea, make the SuperConero 44 metres megayacht a unique vessel.

The two LOI signed for the Middle-East and Europe highlight an intense period for the Ancona shipyard, where at the moment 6 vessels of the CRN brand are being manufactured: namely 4 steel and aluminium megayachts – CRN 131 74 m (designed by Zuccon International Project), CRN 132 73 m (designed by Omega Architects), CRN 133 60 m (designed by Francesco Paszkowski Design) and CRN 134 55 m (designed by Nuvolari & Lenard) – together with another maxiyacht of the Ferretti Custom Line, the CL 124’, and a Riva 122’ Mythos made of aluminium.

Lamberto Tacoli, Chairman and CEO of CRN, said: “I am happy about the signing of these two Letters of Intent for the 44 metres SuperConero Line; this confirms that we have made the right choices in a very important segment of market for CRN. The shipyard is working hard to plan and produce “unique products” which will make these jewels loved and utilized by their Owners. The European and Middle-Eastern Nationality of Prospects means continuity in historically strategic markets for CRN. For this reason we will be at the Dubai International Boat Show again in March.”

The experts of the jury agreed that in the international yachting industry Chopi Chopi stands out for quality, the craftsmen’s commitment to work on the finish and interiors, for its spectacular volumes and open spaces, and its constant and direct contact with the sea. Not forgetting art, design and attention to the wellness onboard.

Two new CRN superyachts delivered in 2014

Ancona, 22 October 2014 – 61-metre M/Y Saramour and 73-metre M/Y Yalla are the two most recent megayachts built by CRN, a company of the Ferretti Group specializing in the construction of fully-custom steel and aluminium pleasure vessels above 40 metres in length.

Both vessels were launched and delivered during the year and cruised across the Mediterranean Sea through the summer, acting as true ambassadors of the unique engineering and design skills, craftsmanship, style and Italian excellence that have always been CRN’s hallmarks.

The two latest jewels built by the Shipyard, 61-metre M/Y Saramour and 73-metre M/Y Yalla, have joined another two equally outstanding yachts, which were delivered over the last 14 months: 60-metre M/Y J’Ade, featuring for the first time ever the innovative float-in garage, and the flagship, 80-metre M/Y Chopi Chopi 80.

CRN is presenting two new projects by Francesco Paszkowski Design

Ancona, 15 December 2014 – The CRN shipyard, which specialises in the construction of fully-custom steel and aluminium pleasure vessels between 50 and 90 metres in length, is presenting two new projects by Francesco Paszkowski Design.

“The Saramour was our first opportunity to cooperate with a prestigious shipyard like CRN and was a drive for us to jointly develop new, innovative ideas” – says Francesco Paszkowski – “These two projects are a natural evolution of the stylistic features of their 61m predecessor and the result of a deep analysis and an extensive research aimed at finding the perfect balance between outdoor and interior spaces”.

The relationship with the surrounding elements – air and water – is a key feature in these yachts’ concept, which has been turned into reality by creating terraces overlooking the sea, outdoor swimming pools, wide glazed surfaces and, obviously, a spacious beach club (a distinctive element on CRN yachts) – all aiming at ensuring direct contact with the sea.

In a nutshell, the design philosophy that lies behind the creation of the two new megayachts is based upon three founding principles: increasingly slender lines that result a very light silhouette; rounded shapes making the yacht generally more compact; and an extensive use of linear glazed surfaces as well as see-through balconies, which stylishly eliminate any barriers between the yacht and the water, air, nature.

“We are currently working on many new projects. With these two by Francesco Paszkowski, in particular, CRN is aiming to prove once more its flexibility and constant focus on aesthetic, functional, and technical innovation”, concludes CRN’s Chairman and CEO Lamberto Tacoli. “Together with Francesco we therefore want to widen CRN’s offer in terms of design, with projects that will turn into timeless superyachts characterised by huge interior volumes, which will be immediately recognisable across the globe”.

72 m M/Y CRN

This fully-custom, steel and aluminium 72m long and 12.50m wide vessel develops over 6 decks and includes 5 VIP cabins and a whole apartment for the Owner, with a terrace and a private swimming pool or – as an alternative – developing over two levels.

This 72m project flawlessly blends together the rounded shapes of decks and the more linear and square ones of the glazed surfaces. Huge areas have been reserved for onboard socialization and relaxation, as proven by a number of dining areas, an entertainment area on the upper deck, a gym, a sauna, and a massage room for guests.

80m M/Y CRN

This fully-custom, steel and aluminium 80.10m long and 13.50m wide yacht develops over 6 decks and includes 5 VIP cabins, all arranged on the main deck, and a whole apartment for the Owner on the upper deck, featuring a business area, a gym, and a massage room.

This 80m project stands out in particular for the very large aft area and focuses on the guests’ wellbeing, featuring three outdoor swimming pools and a wide beach club. The latter comes in several possible versions, including one with a tropical garden – the final goal always being a closer contact with nature.
