As the successor to the CNB 60, which has always sold well, the new ship from CNB has a difficult legacy to take on. To ensure a successful market launch, the shipyard has come up with some very exciting conceptual innovations in collaboration with the designers from Philippe Briand Yacht Design. For example, the developers have built the steering positions very far forwards and covered the cockpit with a targa bar. This not only takes the mainsheet out of the cockpit, but also serves as a base for an extended sprayhood or, as an extension, for a bimini. A hardtop and/or a fixed windscreen should also be possible as an option.
At the rear of the aft deck, there is a large open area for relaxing and sunbathing. The shipyard also has various design options in mind for this. The customer should be free to decide whether they want an additional seating area, a large sun lounger or simply an open space on the aft deck. Because the helm stations are mounted far forward, the sheets and lines are led back to the two large winches on the aft deck, where there is plenty of space for good, clear handling. The CNB 62 should also be easy to sail by a pair of owners, even without the help of a professional skipper.
The unusual design on deck is reminiscent of the creative and innovative layout of the Jeanneau Yachts 55 (test YACHT 12/2023), also a design from the studio of Philippe Briand Yacht Design. A dinghy three metres long can be stored in the stern between the two rudder shafts in the direction of travel. The dinghy can be launched and retrieved effortlessly thanks to a winch.
Three cabins and three bathrooms with shower
The interior design as a true deck saloon yacht provides for three very spacious double cabins, each with its own bathroom and shower. As in the predecessor model CNB 60, the galley of the new ship is also positioned at the front of the main bulkhead in a very generous arrangement. The layout aft is also exciting: the companionway is offset to starboard. This opens up the possibility of a passageway to the aft ship on the port side with separate entrances to the large aft cabins. The views of the interior fittings and the layout are available in the picture gallery above.
Like all CNB yachts, the new 62 is built from A to Z at the new Solaris Yachts production facility in Aquileia, northern Italy. The hull and deck are made as GRP sandwich constructions with a foam core using the vacuum infusion process. The CNB 62 has been announced as a world premiere for the boot trade fair in Düsseldorf in 2025. The shipyard has also already announced a price: the ship will cost 1,846,880 euros, gross including 19% VAT
