Monaco, 24 September 2009 - The shipyard of Ancona part of the Ferretti Group S.p.A., is present at the Monaco Yacht Show with "Blue Eyes", hull number 126, 60 metres long.<br />The mega yacht, realized in collaboration with the Studio Zuccon International Project and launched last May, is participating for the first time at the international yacht show for its official presentation.<br />The elongated and racy profile and the imposing blue hull strongly mark the personality of Blue Eyes<br />"Blue Eyes" is primarily an expression of the Owner's wife personality that has actively participated in the creation of every single detail of this ship, from the design of the name which she created herself to the choice of its decor to the tiniest details with evocative themes of ancient China and the sea.<br />"Blue Eyes" is certainly a boat "with a difference": starting by the aft, on the main deck, which guests a huge semicircular library at the centre of which stands an imposing white grand piano which strongly contrasts the dark polished mahogany walls (a characteristic of all the woodwork all over the boat).<br />A luxurious and personal owner's cabin is preceded by a private English-style office. The ceiling features an ancient map of the winds.<br />The open terrace overlooking the sea, a distinctive mark of the CRN brand, is a very private area designed for moments of relaxation with absolute privacy.<br />The area reserved for the owner comes with a full beam spacious bathroom with a large Jacuzzi and a separate shower cubicle.<br />Finally, a very modern and professional galley for haute cuisine is situated on the main deck itself.<br />The lower deck has a more classic old English navy style evoked by the ancient maps which adorn the mahogany walls. The bow of this deck has 6 double cabins and a crew mess that can host 14 members.<br />In the spacious hall on the upper deck, conceived as a covered extension of the external cockpit and embellished by very rare corals that adorn the area, there is a conversation area with Venetian silk sofas and an original playing area with marble tables designed by the owner featuring the 4 symbols of the playing cards.<br />Outside there is a dining table for 12 with delicate inlays of marine figures and two sitting areas with typical blue and white sea coloured cushions.<br />A large sunbathing area with sun beds and couches welcomes guests on the sun deck and can easily be turned into a helipad for touch-and-go 3000 kg helicopters. A dining table for 12 provides pleasant moments in the shade of a Bimini top. Forward there is a Jacuzzi with a sunbathing area. From the lobby on the same deck, covered with marble, one can access the wellness area and its Technogym - equipped gym and adjacent slate Turkish baths.<br />Open spaces and outdoor living areas are given special attention by CRN who was the first to introduce the concept of a terrace overlooking the sea which finds its best expression on the "Blue Eyes": the stern hatch that turns itself into a wonderful beach club of 70 m², with sofas, deck chairs and leisure areas that enliven the area, a friendly space par excellence.<br /><br /><br />The celebration of Clarena 2, hull number 124, 72 metres long, realized in collaboration with Studio Nuvolari-Lenard has just been held in Ancona.<br />The launching, which took place last Saturday, was an important event for the shipyard and the city, that attended the ceremony and witnessed the continuous production and projects which involve this shipyard of the Marche region with orders well into 2012.<br /><br />CRN and the Ferretti Group <br />CRN is a brand of the Ferretti Group, a leader in designing, constructing and marketing motor yachts, with a unique portfolio of nine prestigious brands among the most exclusive of the nautical world: Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Itama, Bertram, Riva, Apreamare, Mochi Craft, CRN and Custom Line. <br />The Ferretti Group, founded by Norberto Ferretti in 1968, is a pioneer in the nautical industry, thanks to constant product innovation, process and continuous research in technology.
