Construction Navale de Bordeaux has just launched its latest baby, the 30-meter sailing yacht "Chrisco".
Set up in 1987, an affiliate of France’s leading boat builder BENETEAU, CNB constructs large luxury yachts and catamarans.
Designed by famous Italian naval architect Luca Brenta, the clean lines of the boat and its interior design have met with great success. It has already completed around fifty craft of this type. Chrisco will be handed over to its owner in a few weeks.
CNB has just delivered its hundredth luxury catamaran, the Lagoon 500. This class currently accounts for 70% of turnover.
There is a steady flow of orders, in spite of a slight easing recently.
