cnb 66 yacht

“We designed the hull with the triple objective of increasing the volume, performance and seaworthiness of the CNB 66. This yacht will be able to guarantee long distances, even with a reduced crew of two people.”

Philippe briand, naval architect of the cnb 66.

cnb 66 yacht

Born to make you feel a family atmosphere in harmony with the sea.

With its welcoming family atmosphere, the CNB 66 has been designed to be the biggest sailboat that can be handled by a family crew. It can be equipped with a hydraulic furling boom, developed through an exclusive collaboration project with Hall Spars. Endowed with a carbon bowsprit, its elegant silhouette encloses precious volumes put to best use by our know-how.

Externally, the two areas, for relaxation and manoeuvring, are clearly separate. As on one-off models, we made every effort to minimise differences in levels everywhere to facilitate movement without undermining safety. And furthermore, what sailboat this size can boast a tender garage that enables a 3.25 m tender to be boarded in less than a minute? Undoubtedly, the CNB 66 redefines the range of possibilities for a 20 m (66 ft) yacht. It is no surprise that even before its launch, seven owners from Europe, Australia and Mexico decided to trust us.

The arrangement of the maneuvering gears makes it possible to handle the boat with a small crew.

The maneuvers are so well organized they create a balanced conditions on board in all sea conditions.

The interior space is distributed so as to separate the crew cabin from the owner’s zone.

The interior accommodates 3 cabins in the forward area, including a spacious owner’s cabin. The aft area, dedicated to the crew, has direct access to the galley. The saloon is raised to make room for a central engine room, and commands a wide view of the exterior.

Each and every detail has been conceived and positioned for use at sea.

The photos show how each component is in the right place. The longitudinal tender garage is the ideal solution providing easy access to the sea.

CNB 66 yacht test: Intoxicating cruiser is a cut above the mainstream

Is the CNB 66 the largest Sailing yacht that can be handled by a family crew? Toby Hodges reports

Congratulations. You’ve finally received that hefty bonus. Or perhaps you cashed in your pension, married wisely, or are a successful gambler or racketeer. However you came across the funds, you have decided now is the time to spend them and live the dream.

You want a modish monohull, a yacht that is both spirited to sail and sexy to look at – something out of the ordinary. You crave a yacht that is as at home crossing an ocean with friends as it is providing premium class coastal holidays with the family. And you want something that you can contemplate with pride.

At first glance, the CNB 66 could be the ideal choice. But is this just another pretty face or will she perform? And will she, as CNB suggests, be manageable by owners and their families without needing paid crew? We sailed her off the south of France to find out.

CNB-66-yacht-test-aft-running-shot-credit-nicholas-claris

Backstay rams run vertically under the aft deck. Runners are used only to stop the mast pumping when sailing under staysail in a swell.

Punchy design

An increasing number of production yacht builders have moved up to this mid-60ft mark, but the key difference with CNB is that it has come down in size from superyachts. It uses the Beneteau Group’s buying power and industrial experience to help keep price tags modest, combined with its own R&D, engineering and big boat know-how to produce elegant craft that are a cut above the mainstream in style and substance. Think superyacht looks and feel but without the cost of a similar-sized semi-custom yacht.

The base price of a CNB 66 is around 40 per cent less than that of an Oyster or Contest, though if all the optional extras are chosen, as was the case with the test boat, that margin reduces considerably.

The 66 marks CNB’s 30th anniversary and is a model that plays on the success of the Bordeaux 60 (46 sold in nine years) and the CNB 76 (21 in four years). She shares a similar Philippe Briand-designed sporty hull and coachroof shape to the 76, but the bowsprit option is new.

Swan 65 test: The triumphant return of a true sailing icon

If it hadn’t been for the original Swan 65, Nautor’s Swan might never have become the famous name it is…

Upwind control

Docking out of the bustling marina at Port Cogolin, we were met by ideal sunny sailing conditions. It was the day after the closing regatta of the Mediterranean season, Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. A Force 4 easterly was blowing and we had the Golfe de Saint-Tropez to ourselves.

Beating upwind under full main and genoa, we could pinch up to 22° to the apparent wind, making 7.5 knots. This rose up to 8.5 knots at 25° apparent as the breeze picked up into the mid-teens. My three crewmates demonstrated how easy it is to reef the CNB 66, an important consideration in taming this powerful cruiser.

The test boat has a carbon mast and hydraulic roller-furling carbon vee boom, developed with Hall Spars. Although this is an option over the standard aluminium rig, it is a significant feature for CNB in its efforts to convince couples that this is a manageable yacht.

Once the main is hoisted, the mandrel is hydraulically engaged. To furl, a remote switch powers the mandrel while the halyard is eased from the mast base winch. The system can also be controlled manually using an emergency line.

Without changing our heading, the main was sheeted out, a reef was wound in and we sailed on – at the same speed and with a bit less heel and pointing. Point nicely proven.

The boom and reefing mechanism is a seriously expensive option though. I would expect that, for €140,000, it might hoist or lower sails automatically and make drinks at the same time. Yet this system still requires a crewmember at the mast base to work the halyard winch and the control switch for the mandrel.

With full sail quickly and easily restored, we were soon out of the bay and into a steady sea breeze – and the 66 was in her element. Once she has that extra couple of knots of wind and degrees of heel, the CNB 66 accelerates another half-knot.

The masculine styling, including the low, wraparound design of the coachroof, is signature Briand

The sweet spot

It was a noticeable and delightful difference – she is a boat that sails best powered up. Indeed, it is once we cracked off a little onto a fetch that I found her sweet spot. This is the way to cover the sea miles, I thought – 15 knots wind at 50° apparent, clocking a steady 10 knots boat speed. We spent an intoxicating hour like that, close reaching back and forth across the mouth of the bay, savouring the experience.

CNB-66-yacht-test-aerial-view-credit-nicholas-claris

The test boat had twin headsails – 90 per cent of CNB owners take this staysail option

In general, the feel on the helm is fun and authoritative. When the boat is less pressed, it can feel a little neutral and she can wander. The large twin rudders suit her design though.

Despite a noticeable amount of drag off the leeward blade, the direct grip they provide make easy work for the autopilot.

We hoisted a bright pink asymmetric sail for the return leg into the bay. This felt wonderful for the short spell when I could heat her up a little, making up to 10.5 knots.

But depth restrictions soon forced us to bear away to a more sedate angle, heel and speed. If we tried to sail much lower than 120° apparent, the asymmetric would lose too much apparent wind and start to flog.

As we slid past the old harbour at Saint-Tropez under port gybe, I couldn’t help thinking how at home the CNB 66 looked. This is one chic and stylish mini superyacht that will stand out for the right reasons wherever she sails.

Modern deck design

The twin helm stations are well designed. The outboard helm seats enable you to sit out in comfort, both to windward and leeward, with full vision along the side decks. Foot chocks will help when standing at the helm, and these are installed at handover stage according to each owner’s specification.

Directly in front of the helmsman’s seats are consoles for plotters, instruments, engine throttles and thruster controls. However, I found the motorboat-style joystick thruster controls were positioned too close to the wheel and could easily get knocked. Bow and stern thrusters help alleviate concerns about handling a yacht of this size with twin rudders in port – but I’d ask for conventional switches.

CNB-66-yacht-test-helm-credit-nicholas-claris

The main cockpit is set up for relaxing. The table lowers to form a sunbed but the coamings are a little low.

To get to the winches the helmsman has to walk outboard around the large consoles or inboard around the pedestals. It is then possible to keep a hand on the wheel and let off a lazy sheet. In reality, however, either one crewmember (or the autopilot) would helm while one or two others trim main and foresails.

The benefit of keeping the sailing systems aft is that, like most big yachts today, it leaves the main cockpit free of sailing systems. The seating area is larger to port and the companionway is offset a little. This slightly unsymmetrical design continues below through to the forward accommodation to provide privacy to the offset berth in the owner’s cabin.

The cockpit coamings are low, maintaining the sleek aesthetics of the superstructure, but offer little comfort or protection. This makes the optional padded backrest cushions a wise choice. Playtime at anchor and a smart means of getting ashore are important considerations for a yacht of this type.

CNB-66-yacht-test-anchored-credit-nicholas-claris

Leisure time at anchor is well considered. The bathing platform is large and the RIB can be launched within a minute

A large, hydraulic-powered bathing platform lowers to reveal a tender garage roomy enough to house a 3.25m Williams jet RIB. Runner boards can mount onto the platform to help deploy the dinghy and an electric belt winch aids retrieval.

The forepeak sail locker is large enough to be used as an optional crew cabin, it has 7ft headroom, a proper fixed ladder and a useful watertight door into the interior. I liked the workbench with sockets for charging power tools and the tower of bosun’s boxes for spare parts.

Deck saloon appeal

Jean-Marc Piaton has designed another elegant, modern and light interior, which, as with the CNB 76, produces an air of quality and distinction throughout. The beamy deck saloon, with its ample natural light and views, creates a superb first impression.

Feedback from owners about its previous models led CNB to maximise interior space in the saloon and adjoining galley. It uses the full beam in the saloon, with the sofas taken right out to the hull sides. Elsewhere the 66 shares a similar layout to the 76, except the aft galley adjoins the saloon and the aft double cabin is suitable for either guests or crew.

CNB-66-yacht-test-saloon-credit-nicholas-claris

The airy galley connects nicely with the deck saloon via an open bulkhead and navstation desk

Open spaces have their downsides at sea, however. Going below when the yacht is heeled quickly establishes that the CNB 66 badly needs a handrail on the deckhead in the saloon. It is a good distance between the saloon table and the sofa. And the carpet had yet to be secured down, which merely compounded my precarious efforts to walk forward. I also found the 90° companionway steps too angular for use at heel – curved sides would help.

An open bulkhead separates saloon and galley but allows interaction between both. These areas are divided by an aft-facing navstation, which is well placed to communicate with those on deck.

CNB-66-yacht-test-navstation-credit-nicholas-claris

The cabins have an attractive décor. They feature lit and ventilated wardrobes, bookshelves, leecloths and fittings, fabric on the hull liners and full-length mirrors on the doors. It’s a harmonious mix of designer and practical details.

The word ‘smart’ littered my notes. Even the heads and shower compartments, which have heated towel rails and electric flush as standard, are very, um, smart. The effect is of a modern, chic apartment. The cabins are all rather compact though. A combination including both a sail locker and a tender garage squeezes the rest of the accommodation space slightly.

For a new boat, she also felt very complete. Yacht Solutions, an independent company based near CNB in Bordeaux, supplies equipment for most new CNB clients, ranging from safety and technical gear to crockery and bed linen.

Below the saloon

Another reason a deck saloon is popular on medium-to-large sized yachts is that it allows the builders to install tanks and mechanics beneath it, keeping the weight central and freeing up accommodation and stowage space elsewhere.

CNB uses a modular build system where the interior is fully constructed before being lowered into receivers in the hull. This ensures consistent quality and reduces build times.

CNB-66-yacht-test-galley-credit-nicholas-claris

The engine room, all contained in one metal box, is one of these five modules on the CNB 66. Two quick access points in the saloon sole allow for regular maintenance checks, otherwise, the carpets and chairs need to be removed to lift the soleboards. The benefit of doing so, however, is that access to machinery is then excellent.

It needs to be. With tanks, plumbing, and optional watermaker all contained in here, it is a crowded machinery space. Indeed, the hot water tank has been moved aft on future models to free up room around the genset.

A generous fuel tank capacity (1,300lt) helps provide a motoring range of over 1,000 miles, including three hours’ genset use per day. I like the way the filters, separators and coolant refill are neatly mounted and easy to access. CNB has certainly made sure the parts that require regular servicing are as user-friendly as possible.

The galley is a spacious area to work in, a practical U-shape, with plenty of light and headroom. There is ample cold stowage space, including a 157lt domestic-style fridge. If all the extras are chosen, as aboard the test boat with its extra fridge-freezer, washer-dryer, dishwasher and wine climatiser, dry goods stowage space is compromised.

CNB uses electric cooking appliances as standard to avoid the need to carry gas. These are powered off the batteries and inverter for quick cooking, or the genset for Sunday roasts.

The aft cabin is versatile because it will suit either guests or a paid crew, and the separation in space to the forward cabins ensures a good degree of privacy from and for the owner. However, the cabin is on different sole levels and does feel slightly cramped, particularly in the compact ensuite heads where a larger-framed crewmember would struggle to get through the doorway. To provide space for a separate shower cubicle, the heads is crammed in behind the door.

CNB-66-yacht-test-cabin-credit-nicholas-claris

The elegant owner’s cabin has a large ensuite forward with access to the sail locker

Forward cabins

The owner’s cabin décor is clever because it feels calming and luxurious despite this not being a particularly large area. It lacks stowage space for couples staying aboard for long periods, but there is an option to choose a dressing room over the fourth heads (currently accessed via the bunk cabin).

The ensuite heads forward has a generous sized separate shower. A door through the forward bulkhead provides useful internal access into the sail locker. The other two guest cabins are a double and a functional family bunk cabin, both with ensuite heads.

Our verdict

The CNB 66 is pitched at the point where two markets meet: where semi-custom luxury rubs up against the economic practicality of serial production. You are led to feel you are aboard a superyacht, but the focus is still on ease of handling for a crew of family and friends at a price that is (just about) still within production yacht territory.

It’s a contemporary design that ticks many boxes that potential owners looking at this size level desire: enjoyable sailing, plentiful deck space, a garage for a jet RIB, a proper deck saloon and a luxury feel to the interior.

CNB says this is the largest yacht that can be handled by its owners. That may be the case, but only provided the owner/skipper has some experience in handling big yachts and their associated loads.

You would need to have a few reliable sailing friends if not using a paid crew. The test boat has a clever in-boom furling system, but still requires at least a couple of able sailors to work it.

This is a dream boat for doing an ocean crossing at pace and in real comfort. It’s sporty enough for the odd social regatta and offers a luxurious platform for holidaying with family. But once you moor up and leave a boat of this size, cost and quality, it would still be prudent even for an owner-operator to have someone to help with maintenance. Volunteers will surely not be hard to find.

Route 66: Inside the 20.61m CNB 66 semi-custom series

Want a family cruiser for sailing short-handed but with superyacht style ? Don’t let the CNB 66 semi-custom series pass you by, advises Clare Mahon...

While some may think that moving from making some of the world’s most admired superyachts to producing series builds is a step down, Olivier Lafourcade, co-founder and director of CNB , thinks differently. “We saw that we could provide a better product for our owners if we moved to semi-custom,” he says. “Combining our one-off experience with an industrial approach takes nothing off our standards and adds dependability. It allows us to offer luxury at a reasonable price.”

CNB had built 15 custom projects with sailing superyacht veteran  Philippe Briand  before it turned to him for the design of its semi-custom series – and Lafourcade has never looked back: “Custom builds are a new adventure every time,” he says, “but when we commission a series project we can take the time to target a market and fine tune. We conceived the CNB 66 as a luxury cruiser for families who sail short-handed but may want to race in a regatta or take off across the ocean one day. We spent three years pre-production with Briand and the interior designers Jean-Marc Piaton and Rafael Bonet going over every design aspect and solving any potential problems.”

Briand’s superyacht touch is evident from the 20.61 metre yacht’s distinctive coachroof: an eyebrow-like overhang above vertical wraparound windows gives the yacht an air of gruff honesty that suddenly makes years of low-slung curves seem passé. The yacht’s vertical lines, hard aft chine and wide beam all say “action”.

The deck has dual helm stations with carbon wheels flanked by seats that are ideal for visibility and comfort. Raymarine sail control pads are close by, as are winches for the mainsheet and headsails. All headsails are on furlers and the mainsail furls in-boom. The teak and light caulk deck is all on one level, making fore-to-aft passage easy and safe. The foredeck is uncluttered, with flush hatches and integrated tracks. Even the grab rails are integrated and moulded into the coachroof.

While all of these features will make the serious sailor happy, those who want to sit back and relax are well provided for, too. The guest cockpit is completely free of equipment and is very safe when the boat is under sail. The companionway entrance is set slightly off-centre, making space for built-in L-shaped seating around a table and a long sofa. The table can fold out and adjust in height to become a dais for a sunpad.

The saloon is airy thanks to Briand’s panoramic coachroof windows and Piaton and Bonet’s light, contemporary furnishings. The same slightly asymmetrical layout used on deck is repeated, which makes space for a dining area to port and a lounging area to starboard. Comfortable seating has views through the hull windows and furnishings convert several ways to multi-task. Leather detailing on grab bars is a luxurious touch and LED lighting is indirect and discreet.

The engine room is under the saloon sole and systems such as the air conditioning can be easily accessed behind the furnishings. The galley is a couple of steps down and open to the saloon so that the chef can socialise. Extra headroom is provided by the hollow centre of the built-in sofa directly above. A hatch concealed under the sofa cushions can be used to pass food and drink up to the deck.

An en suite crew cabin has a double bed that can adjust in height to be used as two twins. Even if the crew is not on “in-the-same-bed” terms they had better be friendly because the only access to the side berth is by climbing over the central one, a slightly strange arrangement but one that can be negotiated.

The full-beam master cabin is forward and has plenty of storage and even space for an office area. The height of the double bed in the guest cabin can be staggered to become two twins and there is also a Pullman cabin. All are en suite and make use of the same materials, colour tones and level of design for a unified, harmonious feel.

The CNB 66 was designed for short-handed family sailing and lives up to the promise; a couple can easily raise the sails themselves. Once under sail the yacht feels strong and seaworthy, powerfully swift yet stable when heeled on to the chine. The dual rudders are light and nicely balanced. Back in port, bow and stern thrusters with joystick steering make manoeuvring easy.

Not only is the CNB 66 fast under sail, she’s also fast out of the build shed. CNB shipyard rep Christophe Harvey says: “We infuse the hulls in one piece while the interiors are built to exact tolerance and assembled in modules. By constructing the hull and interior simultaneously we reduce build time and cost.”

Build time will not be a problem for owners, but popularity might: while CNB can get almost a yacht per month out of the sheds, there is already a waiting list until April 2019. Move quickly or the kids will be grown before you get your family out on one.

BOAT TEST: CNB 66 (WITH GALLERY)

Cruising yachts keep getting bigger and CNB’s new 66 is pretty damn huge. Yet her manufacturer maintains she is designed to be handled by a couple. What is going on? ST editor Sam Jefferson finds out…

cnb 66 yacht

I’m not going to say this too many more times, but it wasn’t so very long ago that 38’ was considered pretty damn huge for a cruising yacht. Well, those days are gone; bigger, it appears, is better. All the big manufacturers have unveiled 60’ plus yachts in the last couple of years and – with the notable exception of Bavaria – all these flagship models have been massive hits. Jeanneau’s 64 was the trailblazer and the concept was a ‘mini superyacht’ that could still be handled by a couple. It went down a storm. What is driving this trend? Well, a certain demographic of the population – not me – must have a good deal more money for starters but, beyond that, simple refinement of deck hardware combined with hugely effective bow and stern thrusters mean that handling a 60’ plus yacht is no longer the challenge it once was. Parking a 65’ fin keeled yacht with bow and stern thrusters is arguably easier than a 25′ long keeler without a bow thruster – provided you can find a space. Meanwhile, electric winches and improvements to in-mast furling systems mean that – at least in theory – you or I could singlehand a 60’ plus yacht without any great dramas.

But still, why? Well, the other obvious explanation is that the profit margin on a 65’ yacht is exponentially greater for a manufacturer than it is on a 35’ yacht. So really, it’s hardly surprising that boatbuilders have been gently encouraging people that bigger is better. And, in fairness, sometimes they have a point. Having worked on a 37’ yacht with eight guests aboard I can attest that an extra 30’ or so in length would have been a bit of a boon. Plus, the trip that personally got me hooked on sailing was delivering a 65’ yacht across Biscay, running hard before a succession of gales and feeling the power and beauty of a big boat being driven before big winds.

Anyway, all of that brings me to the CNB 66. Yet another bloody big boat. This one is a bit different because CNB is not so much upscaling as downscaling. The manufacturer had enjoyed success with its 76-footer but customers wanted something similar that did not require a crew. This presented CNB with a dilemma; the company was acquired by the Beneteau Group a while back. CNB has a strong name for high-end yachts and Beneteau understandably saw the company as a gateway into a more rarefied market. Times are changing though and, given that Beneteau has its own monster in the Oceanis Yacht 62, the 66 had to be radically different from that. And it is. I guess in the most crude motoring terms, this is a Lexus to Beneteau’s Toyota. CNB do semi-custom yachts and therefore the requirement to be different from the Beneteau is the absolute raison d’etre behind CNB. Too similar to Beneteau and they die, essentially.

cnb 66 yacht

Je ne sais quoi

Which is probably why the 66 looks strikingly different from the Oceanis Yacht 62. She’s a Phillippe Briand design that has a certain air of class to her; a je ne sais quoi. There’s nothing too radical about her design although it does tell you a fair amount about what sort of sailing Briand had in mind when he designed her. She features twin rudders and the choice of an L-shaped cast iron fin keel or a steel fin with a lead bulb. Married to that are fairly conservative lines: she boasts relatively modest beam with plenty of taper aft conbined with the merest hint of a chine. The hull also has plenty of rocker to it. In other words, she’s no Solaris, nor is she a Discovery. Essentially, she’s a fairly sea kindly compromise between the two. I suspect CNB see her as a Med cruiser first and foremost but one that would be a solid performer on the Atlantic circuit if needs be.

It’s on deck where those Med cruiser credentials truly show themselves. The decks are so clear and uncluttered you pretty much want to hurl a bean bag on the front deck and get busy lounging – having dropped the hook off Cap Ferrat first, of course. With the self tacking jib track recessed into the deck and wall to wall flush deck hatches (eight in total) there really is very little up here to get in your way. This might actually make her a caution in an Atlantic head sea but, as I say, I don’t think that is envisioned as her primary purpose. Besides, everything is controlled from the cockpit. The only thing at the bow is that fixed sprit with integrated anchor roller and access to a huge sail locker that can double as crew accommodation if you wish.

cnb 66 yacht

Speaking of the cockpit, this is aft of a very sleek coachroof that has become a bit of a CNB trademark. This flows seamlessly into the cockpit coamings to form a fairly high, shallow cockpit. As with a number of recent designs, this has been carefully delineated in to the ‘working’ area aft, with the two wheels, winches and all running rigging and the ‘relaxing’ area forward. This is a sane approach and makes for a very practical boat handling area and a perfect haven of tranquillity forward of that. Plus, while there is clear delineation between the areas, they are not cut off from one another, so you can still sail and socialise. It just means if someone is having lunch, they are not going to sit on a vital rope at a vital moment.

The relaxing area is particularly nice. The companionway entrance is offset to starboard, meaning that the main lounging area with a drop down table (electric, obviously) is to port and there is a fridge under the bench seats which is handy for the sundowners. Again it’s all lovely and simple and uncluttered. Aft of this is the business end of the boat and there are further nice touches here. First up, there is a central winch for the mainsheet. This is a method first adopted by Dehler in about 1850 but was more recently seen on the Maxi 1200. It’s a good system but on a smaller boat it means the rear of the cockpit can get a little bit cluttered. Not so on a 66 and it works a treat, giving the main a clear designated winch well within reach of the skipper. Aside from that there are two pairs of secondary winches again, well within reach of the helmsman. All of them are electric and, I must reluctantly admit, that the 66 is probably easier to handle than my own 28’ yacht – provided nothing gets jammed of course.

There are some nice moulded helmsman’s seats with the instrument pods integrated into the forward end of them. All very slick. The whole thing looks very classy as, of course, it should do. The aft end of the cockpit feels very exposed to the elements though and, given that this is a yacht that has the power to tackle some pretty heavy weather, I couldn’t help but think you’d feel a tad vulnerable out here in mountainous seas. Perhaps part of the reason you are perched so high up is because there is a pretty substantial dinghy garage set into the transom. Yes, the dinghy garage is the bane of modern yacht designers. Basically, you can shoehorn one into a 55 footer but it generally screws up the rest of the yacht. With a 66 footer, that’s no longer the case, as I’m sure Monsieur Briand was extremely delighted to discover. You can get a 3.2m RIB in there. The dinghy garage is also in its own watertight compartment which is a reassuring feature. The bathing platform is great with a very nicely integrated ladder from the deck down to the platform itself.

That’s about it on deck, although I forgot to mention the rig. It’s a relatively big rig and there is the option of either carbon or aluminium. The recommended boom is a thing of beauty, being one of those hydraulic ‘Park Avenue’ in-boom jobbies from Hall Spars. There is the option of in mast furling – or slab reefing – plus a cutter rig.

Stepping below is a real treat, and an object lesson in how to maximise light and space. It generally shows when boatbuilders employ a separate design agency to do the interior and, in this case, CNB employed Jean-Marc Piaton/Rafael Bonet and the results are pleasing. The layout is pretty simple really and, this being a top end yacht, the emphasis is not on cramming people in, it’s about creating a feeling of luxury and space. Certainly I felt so relaxed as I slumped on the couch to starboard that I very nearly dozed off in the late autumn heat of the Cote d’Azur. The layout features a palatial saloon area with the dining area to port. There is a nav station here which in the brochure is described as ‘bar and navigation area’ which made me laugh. The galley is aft and to port and this is a big working space which is very much part of the saloon – underlining the fact that this is primarily a yacht for a family as opposed to a crewed yacht. Aft and to starboard is a nice roomy guest cabin with an ensuite.

Step forward and there is a corridor leading to the owner’s suite forward. To port is another double berth and to starboard is a bunk room, both have their own ensuites. The owners berth is set far enough aft to mean it is not excessively narrow and the double berth has been offset to port which means you get a bit of privacy even with the door open. There’s ample storage and a dressing room table to starboard, then the ensuite heads/shower room is forward of this.

Overall, the feel down below is extremely pleasant; masses of natural light, a high quality of finish and thoughtful layout mean that this is a genuinely lovely place to be.

I tested the yacht in the Bay of Cannes in 10 or so knots. So essentially we were in the natural domain of this yacht. My concern was primarily with the wind – or lack of it – but this is the Med and, lets face it, this is the sort of sailing that goes on here a good deal.

Still, 66’ is a lot of boat to drag around in 10kn of breeze. I should not have worried. The CNB has a big sail area, the hull was clean and easily driven and she was surprisingly confident in breezes that would have many much smaller yachts drifting somewhat aimlessly. The helm was nicely balanced too and very responsive. I have sailed big yachts in the past and it’s not always fun. I recall a particularly scarring test in similar conditions on another big, heavy 64 footer where I eventually surrendered the helm in disgust as I was simply unable to coax any speed out of the yacht at all. It handled with all the ponderousness of a cross channel ferry. Happily, the CNB was absolutely NOTHING like this – she was almost playful on the helm and made a mockery of the light airs.

cnb 66 yacht

Gradually, the wind also started to fill in, it never got over 15kn, but that was more than adequate for the powerful sail plan and the big boat started to stretch her legs as we raced across La Golfe de Napoule.

No question, this was anything but a chore and a few tacks confirmed how sprightly and sharp she was. What was also at the back of my mind was that any boat with a waterline length of 66’ or so is going to be very comfortable in a bit of a blow. Imagine how exhilarating this one would be storming before a Bora off Croatia, or the Tramontana off France. A lot of fun.

Sam’s verdict

Given the circumstances of my test (a beautiful day in the Bay of Cannes) it was very hard to dislike the CNB 66. She performed her purpose beautifully. She has to be a cut above the flagships of Hanse, Bavaria, Beneteau, etc. and she is certainly that. She has an air of class to her. Money talks, and more has been put into the CNB than those marques – she essentially works for a different market which was the aim. That said, a Hanse 675 has a base price of £1.1m and the CNB starts at £1.3m. I’m not a multi millionaire so I don’t know if £200,000 seems significant when you are THAT rich. CNB must know its market and – despite her size and undoubted ocean crossing ability – this isn’t really an out and out blue water cruiser – she’s an out and out Med cruiser as far as I’m concerned. But one that could race from Gibraltar to the Hellespont without breaking sweat. In fact it would be a joy.

A beautiful Briand designed for performance family cruising

At 20 meters long, the CNB 66 is the ideal yacht. She is large enough to be free of space constraints. Moreover, she still is on a good scale for a family crew that will be able to sail it to its full potential. The CNB 66 boasts a tender garage and the four cabins with shower rooms. All of it is part of the design brief. However, not in any way impair the fluent and harmonious lines drawn by Philippe Briand.

Furthermore, the CNB 66 presents a massive saloon. It occupies the entire beam and communicates with the galley by means of a subtle interplay of levels. When standing, there is an unobstructed view of the sea thanks to the vast panoramic deckhouse. When seated, the eye alights on the horizon through the huge hull ports.

The CNB 66 flowing and well-proportioned lines conceal exceptional volume, exploited with all CNB’s expertise. In and out, elegance combines with simplicity through the maximum integration of equipment and fittings.

CNB 66 sailboat

Taking on the family resemblance, the CNB 66 was designed as the largest sailing yacht that could be handled by a family crew. It can be equipped with the hydraulic roller-furling boom developed in an exclusive partnership with Hall Spars. Endowed with a carbon bowsprit, her elegant lines conceal an abundance of volume, exploited with all our know-how. This is the case, for example, in the owner’s cabin, where the queen size island bed is offset to the side to remain invisible when the door is open. In the light-filled saloon that occupies the entire beam (5.50 m), the large, nearly 3-metre long sofa to starboard can be divided into three parts to increase the seating around the adaptable saloon’s massive table. As for the galley, we wished it to be practical, well ventilated, but in direct contact with the living space. Decoration and interior environments are designed by Jean-Marc Piaton and Rafael Bonet. Outside, there is clear separation between the lounging and handling areas. As on the One-offs, we have sought throughout to eliminate differences in level in order to facilitate movement without impairing safety.

Bluenose Yacht Sales

Born to make you feel a family atmosphere in harmony with the sea.

With its welcoming family atmosphere, the CNB 66 has been designed to be the biggest sailboat that can be handled by a family crew. It can be equipped with a hydraulic furling boom, developed through an exclusive collaboration project with Hall Spars.

Endowed with a carbon bowsprit, its elegant silhouette encloses precious volumes put to best use by our know-how.

The arrangement of the maneuvering gears makes it possible to handle the boat with a small crew.

The maneuvers are so well organized they create a balanced conditions on board in all sea conditions.

The interior space is distributed so as to separate the crew cabin from the owner’s zone.

The interior accommodates 3 cabins in the forward area, including a spacious owner’s cabin. The aft area, dedicated to the crew, has direct access to the galley. The saloon is raised to make room for a central engine room, and commands a wide view of the exterior.

Each and every detail has been conceived and positioned for use at sea.

The photos show how each component is in the right place. The longitudinal tender garage is the ideal solution providing easy access to the sea.

Discover the 2021 CNB 66, where luxury seamlessly meets functionality in a yacht designed for the discerning sailor. Experience its state-of-the-art deck, spacious cockpit, and Jean-Marc Piaton's elegantly crafted interior. Each of its four staterooms and four heads radiates comfort and style.

To truly appreciate this yacht's unique blend of performance and luxury, we invite you to  view the virtual tour and sailing video  and embark on a journey of unparalleled sailing excellence.

Fortitude comes with a one-year general warranty and a two-year structural warranty from CNB. 

Manufacturer Provided Description

Taking on the family resemblance, the CNB 66 was designed as the largest sailing yacht that could be handled by a family crew. It can be equipped with the hydraulic roller-furling boom developed in an exclusive partnership with Hall Spars. Endowed with a carbon bowsprit, her elegant lines conceal an abundance of volume, exploited with all our know-how. This is the case, for example, in the owner's cabin, where the queen size island bed is offset to the side to remain invisible when the door is open. In the light-filled saloon that occupies the entire beam (5.50 m), the large, nearly 3-metre long sofa to starboard can be divided into three parts to increase the seating around the adaptable saloon’s massive table. As for the galley, we wished it to be practical, well ventilated, but in direct contact with the living space. Decoration and interior environments are designed by Jean-Marc Piaton and Rafael Bonet. Outside, there is clear separation between the lounging and handling areas. As on the One-offs, we have sought throughout to eliminate differences in level in order to facilitate movement without impairing safety. Finally, what sailing yacht of this size can boast a tender garage enabling the launching in less than a minute of a 3.25-metre tender with its engine? 

Beyond question, the CNB 66 redefines what is possible with a 20-metre yacht. No wonder that even before she was launched, seven owners from Europe, Australia and Mexico put their faith in us.

COMMENTS

  1. 66

    Undoubtedly, the CNB 66 redefines the range of possibilities for a 20 m (66 ft) yacht. It is no surprise that even before its launch, seven owners from Europe, Australia and Mexico decided to trust us. The arrangement of the maneuvering gears makes it possible to handle the boat with a small crew.

  2. CNB 66 yacht test: Intoxicating cruiser is a cut above the mainstream

    Think superyacht looks and feel but without the cost of a similar-sized semi-custom yacht. The base price of a CNB 66 is around 40 per cent less than that of an Oyster or Contest, though if all ...

  6. Route 66: Inside the 20.61m CNB 66 semi-custom series

    The CNB 66 was designed for short-handed family sailing and lives up to the promise; a couple can easily raise the sails themselves. Once under sail the yacht feels strong and seaworthy, powerfully swift yet stable when heeled on to the chine. The dual rudders are light and nicely balanced. Back in port, bow and stern thrusters with joystick ...

  7. BOAT TEST: CNB 66 (WITH GALLERY)

    This presented CNB with a dilemma; the company was acquired by the Beneteau Group a while back.
