Project: Nautitech 47 Power

The concept and engineering phases have been completed, and now the development of the Nautitech 47 Power is entering a new phase, with completion scheduled for the beginning of 2018. The clear lines and dynamic design of the 47 Power reveal a powerful elegance of this catamaran. The 47 Power will also offer plenty of room for luxury and relaxation, a typical virtue of catamarans due to the wider beam they offer.  The stern of the Nautitech 47 Power has multiple uses with a lifting platform between the hulls that can be used as a tender-lift or as a bathing platform. The 47 Power will offer a generous flybridge offered with a bimini or a hardtop protection, and will also features a barbecue and wet bar.  The large dinette area is offered on the long table in the large cockpit with direct access to the saloon. With this clever layout, cockpit and saloon join into one living space. The perfectly equipped pantry, the exclusive lounge area in the saloon and the generous cockpit all give the impression of a penthouse apartment.  Power for the Nautitech 47 Power is by two Volvo 225hp or optional 300hp  units.  Max speeds are 22 knots, most interesting is that a cruise of nine knots will offer a range of one thousand nautical miles.

Project: CRN 62m hull. 137

CRN, Italian Shipbuilder and brand of Ferretti Group specializing in the construction of custom steel and aluminium super yachts pleasure between forty and one hundred meters, is excited to share the first details of the Shipyard’s hull number 137.  The new yacht has been engineered by CRN’s Ancona-based Technical Department, complimented by Italian firm Nuvolari Lenard, who took care of exterior concept and interior design.  At 62 metres long this yacht embodies CRN’s modern approach to displacement motor yachts.  Classical lines have been replaced by the unmistakable all-Italian style of Nuvolari Lenard, revealing rakish and yet harmonious lines that seem to be shaped by the wind. The bow is vertical, not to follow the current trend, but to ensure maximum length in the water, thereby increasing speed and maximizing the forward volumes, where the garage is located. CRN’s Technical Department turned Nuvolari Lenard’s concept into reality by optimizing technical spaces with no detriment to the interior layout. The aft Owner’s stateroom, opens up to the al-fresco dining area. The upper deck, which has now become the Owner's Deck, includes a forward panoramic lounge that can remain, at the discretion of the owner, private or open.  CRN 137 will features five decks and includes the Owner’s stateroom and five VIP cabins, hosting up to twelve guests. It will be equipped with two MTU 2011hp engines that will push it to a maximum speed of 16 knots.  Three more vessels are currently under construction at CRN: 74 m M/Y CRN 131, to be delivered during the spring and presented as an international première at the Monaco Yacht Show in September; 79 m M/Y CRN 135; and 50 m M/Y CRN 136 “Superconero”.
