Particularly, we take pride in this launch because it is the eighth megayacht in the 60mt segment of in the last ten years. Each launch reflects the work done over many years and the beginning of new prospects for the future. CRN, now more than ever, has confirmed itself amongst the leading companies that build pleasure ships, taking pride in representing Made in Italy in the world”. <br /><br />After the launch, the yacht will remain in the Shipyard until the end of April: in the coming months, technical tests will be carried out and the final details of the interior fittings will be put in place, before it is finally delivered to the Owner. <br /><br />At the moment another 5 vessels of the CRN brand are being built: 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’ superyacht Mythos made of aluminium. <br /><br />Moreover, 2 Letters of Intent have been recently signed for the construction of two 44 metre “SuperConero” megayachts, inspired by the historic line of the seventies, and another Letter of Intent for a 68 metre superyacht, the biggest ever realized for the Asian market. <br /><br /><br />M/Y CRN 133 61 m <br /><br />133° hull produced by the shipyard of Ancona, made of steel and aluminium, has an overall length of 61,3 metres and a 10.20 metre beam and is equipped with two Caterpillar 3512 C-C 1’230 kW@1800 rpm engines, which allow it to navigate at a maximum speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots.<br /><br />The construction of this megayacht is the joint work of the CRN Technical Department, which took care of the naval project, and Francesco Paszkowski, who designed the exterior and interior lines, in close collaboration with the CRN Design Department.<br /><br />The megayacht, with 5 decks and a sub deck, can comfortably host 12 people, distributed in 5 guest cabins and the Owner’s suite, and 15 crew members. <br /><br />On the main deck there is a large main salon with a dining area, which can be reached from the aft. Towards the bow there is a lift for the guests and a circular lobby, which separate the salon from the sleeping area, which consists of two VIP double en suite. <br /><br />The lower deck has another three VIP double cabins, each with its own bathroom, and towards the bow there is a crew area with 6 double cabins.
