Milan, 29th September 2010 - CRN, the brand of the Ferretti Group, among the leading international manufacturers in the design and manufacturing of over 40 metres fully custom leisure boats, participated at the 50th Genoa International Boat Show with Blue Eyes, whose 60 metres make it the longest boat present at the Genoa show this year.<br /> <br />Hull n° 126 of the shipyard of Ancona is a unique mega yacht, designed with meticulous attention by the ship owner who actively participated in the creative process of construction, conveying his passion for China and for the sea, celebrated in its entirely handmade interiors and their every detail.<br /> <br />CRN "BLUE EYES" - 60 m<br />Blue Eyes is this year's longest mega yacht present at the Genoa Boat Show: 60 metres long, made of steel and aluminum and featuring a long and sleek profile, the hull is the result of the collaboration between CRN and Studio Zuccon International Project, that realized its exterior. The interior design, however, was prepared by Studio Fabrizio Smania S.p.A.. The mega yacht Blue Eyes is characterized by its sleek bow, the blue hull, the huge volumes and the wide open spaces stretching out over the sea.<br />The new CRN mega yacht is a rare gem that stands out among the other boats mainly because of its "diversity". The interior spaces are in fact structured in an innovative and at times unexpected manner. For example, upon entering the main deck aft, where conventionally one finds a hall, the guest would be greeted by a large semi-circular library with a white grand piano in the centre; the wooden floor is covered with rather large antique carpets. The foyer, which one crosses when proceeding towards the bow, is decorated with madrepore, coral and marble carvings. At the bow there is the ship owner's cabin preceded by a private English style office. The white and blue shades in the ship owner's cabin evoke the depths of the abyss thanks to the fabric decorations and the carpet patterns. As in the tradition of CRN, the cabin has a private open balcony overlooking the sea.<br />The balcony which is close to the sea, a distinctive feature of the CRN brand, offers a regal open space and finds its best expression on Blue Eyes: the stern hatch on the lower deck transforms into a 70 square metre beach equipped with sun beds and a leisure area which also serves as a solarium.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />CRN and the Ferretti Group<br />CRN is a brand of Ferretti Group, one of the world leaders in the design, construction and sale of motoryachts with a unique portfolio of some of the most exclusive, prestigious brands in the nautical world: Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Itama, Bertram, Riva, Mochi Craft, CRN and Ferretti Custom Line.
