Marc Giorgetti, from Luxembourg, is the new majority shareholder of Solaris . At the Cannes Yachting Festival, he described the future of the Italian group after the recent acquisitions.

He has taken over the shares of the legendary Giuseppe Giuliani, one of the fathers of post-war Italian yachting. Marc Giorgetti, together with his brother Paul, is the head of a family group of Italian origin founded in the late 1800s, specialising in construction, which has a turnover of around 450 million euros a year and is the owner of Solaris, first with a 76 and then with the new 111-footer.

The inventor of Grand Soleil and Solaris leaves the scene

With Giuliani leaving the scene, Solaris took over the CNB brand of blue water sailing yachts from 60 feet upwards from the Beneteau group in April.

The Solaris group is now a €76 million company with four brands – Solaris, Solaris Power, Performance Boats and CNB – all concentrated in the luxury/premium boat segment.

For Marc Giorgetti every boat is custom-made

But Marc Giorgetti wants to bring his own personal touch as a successful businessman to the new group, while maintaining continuity. His investment is a long-term one and not a hit-and-run, as he has made clear.

“ I want to build customised boats for each owner, increase sales abroad thanks to the sales network that CNB brings us, boost the powerboat sector, build boats only to order ” is Marc Giorgetti’s manifesto for the group’s development over the next few years.

Frenchman Vincent Arnaud, Brand Director and historical memory of CNB Yachts, joins the team.

Solaris Group’s four brands

Solaris manufactures fast cruisers from 40 to 80 feet. At Cannes Yachting Festival it presented the new Solaris 40 and Solaris 60.

CNB manufactures ocean sailboats from 60 to 90 feet. It has been recently acquired by Beneteau

Performance Boats manufactures large-sized and high-tech yachts

Solaris Power builds open and lobster powerboats from 40 to 80 feet. It has just presented a 44-footer and a revised 48-footer. A new model, the Solaris Power 40, is on the way for the Düsseldorf 2022 Show and the flagship 60 Open is in the planning stages.

CeFeA: On board the 34m Solaris 111 sailing yacht

A sailor since childhood, CeFeA’s owner knew exactly what he wanted from his new boat – and who could help him realise it. BOAT reveals the collaborative process that yielded a 34 metre with performance and family comfort.

It’s hard to imagine an owner more in control of his creation than Marc Giorgetti was with the design and build of 33.77-metre CeFeA . Behind that confident shaping of a boat is, unsurprisingly, a wealth of sailing knowledge.

As a child holidaying on Lake Maggiore, Giorgetti was often on the family’s Riva, but as an adult, his first personal boats were two blue water sailing yachts by French builder Amel, the second a 16 metre. Stepping up in size to something a bit more Med-friendly, he turned to a 22-metre Doug Peterson design and arranged for it to be built at Italian yard Solaris in Aquileia, at the very top of the Adriatic Sea.

During the process of customising the yacht’s interior, to circumvent the back and forth of plans, Giorgetti asked the yard for the CAD files; he would fill in the details with architects at his own construction firm, working within the yard’s well-developed engineering plan.

“It worked out perfectly,” says Giorgetti. “While we were building the boat, the principal at the yard told me that he would like to adopt some of the ideas. He also asked me if I would like to invest and become a partner in the yard. I liked what they were doing and I like the work style and spirit at the yard. I am an entrepreneur, so I invested in exchange for one-third of the company.”

After sailing the Peterson design for several years, he had more ideas to incorporate. His next boat would, of course, be from Solaris, but as the American naval architect Peterson had passed away, the yard suggested a design by Argentinian naval architect Javier Soto Acebal, who had penned several production boats for the yard. He designed a sporty 22 metre, which became Giorgetti’s second Solaris. The third, also 22 metres, had a different look to the deckhouse with neoclassical brightwork ringing the structure rather than the elegant raised deck saloon style.

In 2016, Giorgetti and his family decided they were ready for a larger boat, one customised more to their lifestyle. Soto Acebal had the inside track on the design commission, but before Giorgetti would commit, he flew to Soto Acebal’s office in Buenos Aires to make sure the naval architect understood his requirements. They spent two days talking about his current boat, hull shapes, keels, use of foils and rudder configurations. On a whim, Soto Acebal suggested they go sail his own boat, a 9.4-metre daysailer named Pilar.

“It wasn’t until we spent some time sailing on my own boat that I realised how skilled a helmsman he really is,” says Soto Acebal. “He has that certain sensitivity needed to exploit a yacht’s full potential. I didn’t know him very well, but the first time aboard he literally caught the tiller and gave it back to me when we moored, not before.” That time spent sailing revealed to Soto Acebal just how far he could push the performance envelope for his client.

Giorgetti chose Soto Acebal to develop his new boat – which may be offered as a semi-custom series – along Solaris’s raised saloon lines for its 64, 68 and 80 footers. And for this new design, the yard and the architect would pull out all the stops on weight reduction and performance.

The brief was aggressive, pushing hard on the performance criteria while never losing sight of the all-around attributes needed to make this an enjoyable cruiser. “We explored highly prismatic hull shapes to achieve high speeds, but we needed to keep the hull balanced for any possible scenario,” says Soto Acebal. “A lot of computer simulation was done to simulate real-life conditions. The mast and keel have been moved as far aft as possible, keeping in mind the balance between the forces of the sailplan and the foils below the waterline. The hull gives high stability with a low centre of gravity, and thanks to the high-tech construction, weight has been reduced as much as possible in the aft sections.”

“I like to sail in the Mediterranean where the wind is often light in the summer,” says Giorgetti. “Even though I don’t race, a performance boat means not having to turn on the engine to go somewhere. With my new boat, I can start sailing in a light breeze, and in just eight knots of wind I can go 10 knots.”

He can also do that without a lot of crew, thanks to an easy sailplan. To make manoeuvring easy, they avoided a square top main and a long bowsprit. To offset the resulting sail area reduction, they chose a generous high-modulus mast with an upwind sail area of 618 square metres. The jib is self-tacking, adjustable by the use of a Magic Trim, while the mainsail can be hydraulically set with the use of another Magic Trim located in the bilge. CeFeA can tack and jibe with only two crew at the helm. A furling staysail completes the upwind kit, while a code zero, also with furler and tack adjuster, gives the boat more power for reaching. Completing the sailplan is an A2 gennaker with snuffer for a downwind sail area of 1,220 square metres.

In terms of construction, CeFeA is built of laminated pre-preg carbon fibre, Sprint technology by Gurit and Corecell M foam, vacuum-bagged and oven cured at 90 degrees C. All in, the boat weighs 75 tonnes, which puts it in Wally territory. In fact, the Solaris yard at Forlì was the birthplace of several Wallys, including two of the latest high-tech sailers, Barong D and Nahita , before Wally’s acquisition by the Ferretti Group .

“We have 20 per cent more volume than the Wally 110 and it still looks slim,” enthuses Giorgetti. It also has one more cabin thanks to centimetres of extra beam and a metre of additional length. Although 10 tonnes heavier in displacement than the 33.5-metre Wally 110 Barong D , its displacement is 11 tonnes less than Southern Wind’s 33.65-metre 110 Thalima . The 34.14-metre Baltic 112 Liara measures in at a similar 88 tonnes displacement. But apart from sailing prowess, an important part of CeFeA’s equation is the layout of the family spaces (the name is a mash-up of his children’s names, Celia, Felix and Alex).

Particularly notable is the aft-facing master suite, which features a partial glass aft bulkhead that opens not to a small owner’s cockpit but to a sprawling terrace. The latter, and the partial glass aft bulkhead, were introduced by Carlo Torre, of Monaco Yacht Temptation. Although MYT has of late been involved in the project management and design of large motor yacht projects, Torre also has connections to the Wally camp – he had a six-year stint in the 1990s as Wally’s first in-house design director. Torre has a personal passion (see previous page) for proving that superyacht comfort can be had in a 30-metre sailboat.

“The owner was very clear from the beginning that he wasn’t looking for a typical sailing yacht where performance meant sacrificing comfort,” says Torre. “Rather, he was striving for a yacht conceived around his personal preferences. He desired generous spaces normally only found on a motor yacht.”

On entering the saloon, the first impression is of light and walnut joinery – a departure from the more common teak and white oak (or white paint). Light comes from wraparound glass in the coachroof. “I always wanted to do an interior in walnut,” Torre says. The finish is matt and smooth, a complement to the softness of leather panels, gently curved shapes and the absence of decorative mouldings. He calls the look warm and precious yet unpretentious. “Maximum comfort [comes] by keeping generously flowing and uncluttered interior spaces, far removed from the compressed feel of typical sailing yachts. Following this philosophy, we managed to create a 40-square-metre master cabin with two full-size bathrooms, a desk area and direct access to the private [terrace].” Along with the master, there are two convertible twin/double cabins aft of the saloon and one twin forward.

On deck, clearly defined cockpits aft and forward are separated by the twin helms. The massive cockpit forward becomes the focal point of social activities and while under way, the helms, winches and manoeuvring areas are separated by enough real estate to keep guests safe. Giorgetti often likes to take the helm and the position of the wheels allows him to maintain connection with those in this cockpit in front of him. But the best piece of planning on deck is the aft cockpit, or call it a terrace or a beach club, which enables the owner to enjoy complete privacy and undisturbed access to his cabin.

The origins of this space are again born of experience. No matter how discreet captain and crew try to be, if they are operating the boat, they are looking forward and that means they are looking at or past everyone in the cockpit or on deck, notes Giorgetti. Seeking privacy and perhaps shelter from too much wind, he sought an open-air space aft of the helms, a situation that fitted beautifully with his desire for the largest possible master suite. By flipping the crew aft/owner forward layout on the majority of sailing boats this size, he and Torre were able to arrange a space with his-and-hers heads and a full-beam master opening onto a sweeping ocean view. Wide steps cascade from deck level down to the cushioned terrace, which at anchor provides easy tender and water access as well as a spot for the owner and family to grab a little alone time while enjoying the elements.

“I thrive on the feeling of being propelled by nothing but the wind and passing motor yachts with ease, especially in adverse conditions. We spent 18 months on the planning… the resulting yacht is simply stunning and incredibly fun to sail,” says Giorgetti.

33 metri di tecnologia e comfort per il Solaris 111 CeFeA

“Il via al progetto nel 2018 quando l’armatore di un Solaris 72 disse al cantiere che voleva salire di categoria”, racconta Lorenzo  Mascarucci, product manager di Performance Boats, la divisione superyacht di Solaris Yachts.

A luglio 2021 il varo di un nuovo Solaris Yachts di 33 metri. Sono le due date del Solaris 111, sceso in mare col nome di CeFeA, mentre quello dell’armatore che voleva salire di dimensioni è Marc Giorgetti, manager lussemburghese oggi alla guida di Solaris Group che racchiude quattro brand: Solaris, Solaris Power, Performance Boats e CNB. Lungo fuori tutto 33,77 metri per un baglio di 7,90 metri il Solaris 111- CeFeA è l’ammiraglia di Solaris Yachts, ma anche il primo modello di una linea composta di un 99 piedi e un 130 piedi e porta la firma di un progettista profondamente legato alla storia del cantiere italiano.

Le linee sono infatti di Javier Soto Acebal, progettista per altro ben conosciuto da Giorgetti che, come sua seconda imbarcazione aveva appunto avuto un Solaris 72 disegnato proprio dalle yacht designer argentino. “Il briefing dell’armatore”, prosegue Mascarucci, “era stato molto chiaro. La barca doveva avere grandi spazi abitabili all’esterno e all’interno. Essere marina e comoda. Un raffinato blue water cruiser”. Indicazioni chiare anche per il layout generale. “La richiesta era in pratica di un’imbarcazione flush deck, ma con la sala macchina ben accessibile, sotto il salone. Poi l’armatoriale a poppa e un’organizzazione interna con spazi definiti e separati per ospiti ed equipaggio”.

Per rispondere a queste richieste, mantenendo però netti i richiami a quella che Mascarucci definisce “la storia di Solaris”, Performance Boats, oltre che sull’esperienza di Soto Acebal  e sul proprio team, ha potuto contare su Carlo Torre e il suo Monaco Yacht Temptation a cui si devono project management e design generale.  

Costruzione in carbonio prepreg con processo Sprint, anima in Corecell da 45 mm (“Assicura la migliore coibentazione e isolamento dai rumori”), post cure a 90°C, dislocamento di 78 tonnellate con 28 tra chiglia a bulbo, lifiting keel (da 3,90 metri a 6,05 metri), albero Southern Spars di 43,6 metri, Magic Trim by Cariboni e Harken in coperta. A questa costruzione, impostazione e attrezzatura ricercate si abbina un piano velico che, in andatura di bolina, è di 645 metri quadrati con fiocco avvolgibile e auto virante, mentre il gennaker di 911 mq porta il piano velico complessivo a 1.556 metri quadrati.

Questi i principali dati del profilo tecnico del Solaris 111- CeFeA che però, come sottolinea Mascarucci, nel suo layout esterno si distingue nettamente nell’attuale panorama dei grandi yacht. 

“Solitamente nelle imbarcazioni Raised Saloon, ma con sala macchine sotto il salone, la tuga ha un andamento a salire verso poppa. Con Soto Acebal e Monaco Yacht Temptation abbiamo lavorato molto e, nonostante più di due metri di altezza nel salone (2,10 metri, ndr) e un’ottima altezza in sala macchine (1,65 m, ndr) siamo riusciti a disegnare una tuga bassa ma molto, molto equilibrata e luminosa”. 

Ma, tornando ai dati tecnici, manca un numero. Quello dei metri quadrati di superficie calpestabile degli interni che si aggiungono agli spazi in coperta: il pozzetto ospiti e la terrazza privata di poppa.

“Gli interni si sviluppano su 167 metri quadrati. Una serie di ambienti declinati in diversi materiali. Dal noce canaletto, alla pelle, ai tessuti, all’alcantara. Interni c’è stato un grande lavoro di ottimizzazione degli impianti per non rubare spazio da vivere comodamente e dove dal design, all’organizzazione degli ambienti, alle finiture dei materiali, alle venature delle essenze dall’andamento mai scontato, abbiamo voluto dimostrare che, quanto a ricercatezza e comfort, un grande yacht a vela non ha nulla a che invidiare a uno yacht a motore”.  

Gli interni del Solaris 111- CeFeA si svolgono, nella loro organizzazione e nel loro design, in maniera lineare e ricercata abbinando abitabilità e comfort. A poppa, la suite armatoriale di 8 metri per 5 di larghezza, è dotata di doppio bagno, zona soggiorno e zona studio con la grande vetrata che dà accesso alla terrazza. Sempre a poppa del living illuminato dalle finestrature della tuga e che comprende anche una play room, si trovano poi due cabine doppie per gli ospiti mentre tutta la sezione di prua è riservata alla zona servizi e quella dell’equipaggio. 

 “Abbiamo voluto realizzare” conclude Lorenzo Mascarucci, “non qualcosa di diverso da ciò che già esiste, ma qualcosa in più”. Il nuovo Solaris 111- CeFeA vuole infatti essere una proposta alternativa, anche per chi vuole passare dal motore al fascino della vela. Tutto questo all’interno dei valori e delle qualità, dal comportamento in mare alla sicurezza, dalla comodità al massimo easy sailing, che dal 1974 distinguono tutti i Solaris Yachts di ogni dimensione. Anche nei 33 metri di CeFeA.

We are incredibly proud that our sailing flagship CeFeA, 111’ has been crowned Winner of the Yacht Design and Innovation Awards for the best sailing yacht design of the year 2021 – and that’s not all: the judges at last night’s Boat International World Superyacht ceremony have also selected CeFeA as the Judge’s Commendation Sailing Yacht 2021. The largest Solaris sailing yacht has definitely left its mark among the line-up of contemporary performance cruisers.

How it all started

Marc Giorgetti, a European entrepreneur, is a sailing passionate since his childhood. Meeting the Solaris boats, he declared: “I found a shipyard that designs and builds boats for those who sail, made up of real sailors, people attentive to seafaring, functionality, comfort in navigation rather than appearance and life in port. I had already owned boats from other prestigious European shipyards, but none of these showed me such attention to those internal and external details that guarantee comfort and safety even when the boat heels and in all sea conditions as I found at Solaris. And so, I fell in love with it”.

Since 2008 Marc Giorgetti has been committed as a shareholder in the development of the company, working hard and achieving truly exceptional results.

Since then, sales have multiplied by ten and today the Group is represented by 52 dealers worldwide with a consolidated turnover of € 56 million, 70% of which consists of exports, to which € 20 millions of CNB turnover must be added, for a total of € 76 million. Furthermore, Solaris Yachts has conquered the European leadership in the high-end fast-cruiser sailing sector.

Solaris has now become Solaris Group divided into four divisions differentiated by product and market of competence, but united by the outstanding quality:

•    Solaris Yachts: manufacturer of fast-cruisers from 40 to 80 feet; •    CNB Yacht Builders: recently acquired from the Bénéteau Group, manufacturer of ocean-going sailing boats from 60 to 90 feet; •    Performance Boats: high-end carbon hyper-technological maxi sailing yachts builder; •    Solaris Power: manufacturer of open and lobster motor yachts from 40 to 80 feet.

These different product lines materially express the will of the Solaris Group to affirm in each sector all the design, technical and construction characteristics that are its own and which give the boats exceptional qualities: seaworthiness, strength and stiffness and last but not least comfort in navigation. This is the hallmark of the Group, the main characteristic of each of the four companies and the underlying reason that has led to its success.

The famous build quality will be maintained and even further improved. The company will keep its focus on creating exclusive and highly customizable yachts for the expert owners.

Upcoming models in development

Solaris Yachts 

The range of fast-cruisers has been enriched this year with two new models:

•    40 feet, smart all-rounder with all the famous attributes •    60 feet, avant-garde mini-maxi.

Solaris 40 is a very advanced 12 meters designed by Javier Soto Acebal, with many features that characterize hull performance and navigation comfort. The hull features a short chine ending mid ship. The highly buoyant bow is compensated by the extremely wide stern. The cockpit is extremely large. The two helm stations located full width allow the helmsman to steer even while the sprayhood is open. The interiors, created with the contribution of the architect Patrick Roséo, thanks to the shapes of the hull, are the largest in the category and offer truly innovative design.

The Solaris 60 water lines represent the latest design evolution by Javier Soto Acebal applied to the size of 18 meters, which guarantee a perfectly balanced hull, high performance also in regattas, and smooth open ocean navigation, plus all the standards of the exclusive Solaris construction technique. Solaris 60 was born from the concept of giving life to a high-performance fast cruiser that challenges racing boats, with an overall length of 18.31 meters. Solaris 60 will be a strong competitor in the Mini-Maxi circuit, whose main event is every year in Porto Cervo. A fundamental innovation of Solaris 60 is in the cockpit, where the helm station are at full width, as on the 40, allowing the helmsman to steer the boat outside the encumbrance of the sprayhood and to always have in view the luff of the jib. The position of the helm station allows to lower the lifelines in the stern part and raise them at the two steps to get on the side decks, a solution usually used only in boats over 140 feet. Aft, different seats are available for maneuvering and steering in different sea conditions, even when seated.

Both boats are equipped with a self-tacking jib and can be handled by a minimum crew even of just two people. They are on display and can be visited in the sailing section of Port Canto at the SAIL170 stand and SAIL032 moorings.

From 2022 the production of the CNB 66 and CNB 76 will be progressively transferred to the Solaris Yachts production site in Aquileia, where a plant completely dedicated to CNB is under construction. The synergy between the two production philosophies, Solaris Yachts fast-cruiser aimed at owners oriented to performance cruising and CNB aimed at owners not only looking for maximum comfort, but also lovers of long-range ocean navigation, will from now on go to advantage of the development of new models, respecting the identities of the two brands. 

The CNB 8X will be unveiled in a few weeks, leading the way for a new era of CNB yachts. Thanks to the union with Solaris Yachts, the future of CNB yachts fits into a more dynamic and reactive structure, more suitable to support this exclusive market. A calibrated tool for the production of small series with a high level of quality and customization for each boat. 

Performance Boats 

Solaris builds custom maxi yachts at the cutting edge of technology. Since 2012 the yard has launched several units around 100’ for the Wally brand and has built three maxi sailing yachts for Solaris Yachts, the latest of 111′, CeFeA, for Marc Giorgetti. Currently under construction is a hyper-technological 100-footer whose hull, deck and bulkheads are contained in the incredible weight of only 11,550 kilograms. With a ballast of a total weight of 21,400 Kg, composed by the lifting keel of 5,100 Kg and by the bulb of 16,300 Kg the furnished boat arrives to a final displacement of 50,000 Kg.

Performance Boats uses pre-preg carbon technology, even in high modulus, which combines the best weight control with the stiffness and quality of the product. Also the smallest detail is made in full carbon.

The division is equipped with one of the largest and most technologically advanced post-cure ovens in Europe measuring 40 x 11 x 5 meters, which can reach temperatures up to 90° C heated by diathermic oil, in which it is possible to carry out work on hulls up to 40 meters.

Performance Boats has a very advanced interior fitting department, capable of producing ultra-light furniture with aeronautical technology on a mold with pre-impregnated Kevlar or aluminum honeycomb materials.

A team of highly skilled and experienced international technicians from Great Britain, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal and Spain work alongside the Italian team of Performance Boats.

• Solaris Power

It made its debut in 2018 with the modern re-edition of the lobster boat, a traditional New England lobster fishing boat, combining the charm and elegance of a historic boat with the Group’s technology. This philosophy has led to a new milestone in performance, behavior at sea, technology and stylistic research. The result is yachts with a unique personality that stand out for their elegance, originality and performance at the top of the category, which are also very popular among the sail lovers. The open range has been developed on the hulls of the lobster versions, which re-proposes the same marine qualities in a more Mediterranean key, conceived for owners who love to sail.

The range of the power open and lobster boats is enriched by the new 44 Open, which actually before being presented to the public here in Cannes, where you can visit it at the stand QSP 151 – mooring QSP 026, has achieved considerable sales success with 10 units delivered. The 44 Open model offers the largest outdoor living area in the category.

Also on its way is the new Solaris Power 40 Open which will be presented at the next “boot” in Düsseldorf 2022 and the flagship 60 Open, which will touch the water in 2023, is at its final stage of design.

At the Solaris Power stand you can see the 48 Open, winner of the European Powerboat of the Year 2020 award, the comfortable lobster version of the same hull and the Lobster 57 model at anchor in Cannes’ bay.

The outlook for the year 2022 is to grow in all segments, thanks to the new models of each company, and the fact that the production of the nautical year Sept 21 – Aug 22 is already almost sold out. The expansion of the sales and service network, which today counts 52 points between Europe, USA, Russia, Asia, and Australia is in continuous development.

Nelle ultime ore abbiamo pubblicato su PressMare la notizia riguardante il cantiere francese CNB Yachts . Il Gruppo Beneteau – holding quotata alla Borsa di Parigi, il maggior produttore di imbarcazioni al mondo – con un’operazione di “carve out” , di fatto uno scorporo, lo ha ceduto all’italiana Solaris Yachts, azienda che ha come azionista di maggioranza l’italo lussemburghese Marc Giorgetti e nella compagine vede la presenza Giuseppe Giuliani Ricci, uno degli imprenditori di maggior successo della cantieristica da diporto italiana.

Stamani abbiamo raggiunto al telefono il Deputy CEO di Groupe Beneteau, Gianguido Girotti, che a Pressmare ha dichiarato.

"La cessione di CNB era pianificata da tempo ma occorreva trovare il miglior partner per preservarne il marchio, le persone e i clienti. Siamo certi che Solaris Yachts saprà valorizzare al meglio il potenziale di CNB e continuare a crescere".

"Non solo verranno mantenuti i livello occupazionali – ha aggiunto Girotti - ma Vincent Arnaud, Brand Director e memoria storica di CNB Yachts, resterà alla sua guida a garanzia di continuità per i clienti. Solaris Yacht è un gruppo specializzato in yacht di qualità dai 40 agli oltre 100 piedi, l'integrazione con CNB lo porterà a crescere ulteriormente, in particolare grazie al nuovo CNB di 80 piedi. Solaris Yacht rappresenta esattamente quello che si cercava, un partner solido che volesse l'interesse del marchio".

Girotti ha poi concluso: "Quanto al cantiere di Monfalcone si tratta di un sito industriale pronto ad essere destinato a nuovi utilizzi nell'ambito del nostro Gruppo, circa i quali daremo comunicazioni a breve".

In riferimento a quest’ultima dichiarazione, a quanto appreso da radio banchina, proprio il cantiere di Monfalcone – si tratta della factory produttiva hi-tech ex Seaway, acquisita dalle mani dei fratelli Jacopin (J&J Design) al momento in cui fu creato Monte Carlo Yacht ndr -dovrebbe divenire il sito prescelto dal Gruppo francese per realizzare tutte le linee di prodotto Beneteau e Jeanneau riferite al mercato dei trawler e delle navette a motore, oltre ai flying bridge MCY.

Per la cronaca, infine, Marc Giorgetti - che è anche armatore del Solaris 111, sailing yacht custom, il più grande Solaris mai costruito – e Carlo Giuliani – fondatore nel 1974 di Grand Soleil - , sono partner anche nella Performance Boats, azienda che produce scafi hi-tech in carbonio, dove sono stati realizzati i più recenti yacht Wally (Gruppo Ferretti) sia a motore che a vela.

On board sailing yacht CeFeA with owner Marc Giorgetti

27 JANUARY 2021 BY CECILE GAUERT FOR BOAT INTERNATIONAL

His father founded the family construction business but also passed on a love of boats and water.  Cecile Gauert  meets the Luxembourger-Italian now building his very own super-stylish sailing yachts 

Marc “Gio” Giorgetti grew up in landlocked Luxembourg, but the Mediterranean is never far from his mind. For a long time now, summer sailing has been a family tradition. He has just taken delivery of his largest sailing yacht to date, an exquisite balance of performance and comfort. The 33.8-metre Solaris  CeFeA , named after his three children, is a carbon-hull beauty that has reached 16 knots in 15 knots of wind.

When we speak, over Zoom, he’s just had a few days on board and he can’t wait to get back on the water. “It is absolutely fantastic and very balanced. I can hold it with just two fingers,” he says.

Giorgetti is CEO of the Felix Giorgetti construction and property company, and also the majority shareholder of Solaris Yachts, so with this new yacht his passion has become a fast-growing business.

He traces his taste for boats to family holidays on the shores of Lake Maggiore, which straddles Italy and Switzerland in the foothills of the Alps. His late father, Felix Giorgetti, had a family home in this Alpine riviera and a wooden Riva Junior with a tow line. “I spent my summers on the water,” he says. “I was in the water all the time, from morning to night, swimming, sailing, rowing and waterskiing.”

Although his ancestry is Italian, his grandfather and grand-uncle moved from Lombardy to Luxembourg in the late 19th century, seeking better opportunities for their families. The family did not speak Italian at home but as a gregarious, carefree and curious kid known as Gio – “Everyone calls me Gio,” he says – he soaked up the language during his summers on the lake and made friends with locals and tourists alike.

“We had a lot of German neighbours who came with their boats and they did not speak Italian,” he says. Whenever they had a problem of any kind, they knew who to call. He interpreted for them as they sorted out any number of issues that came between them and a sunny day on the lake.  “I learned all about the problems they had with their different boats. That’s what got me interested in them.”

And then, of course, there was his father’s boat – the Riva Junior. He remembers the thrill of holding that beautifully crafted wheel, his father looking on.  “I took turns with my dad in the evening after waterskiing and  I learned to drive it.”

He got to know Riva pretty well too. Felix Giorgetti loved boats and he developed a close relationship with the shipyard. He even became a Riva dealer in Luxembourg, selling a few Rivas in this small but affluent market. When he had to go to Riva’s headquarters in Sarnico, Lombardy, occasionally his children went along. Gio remembers standing in the shop watching the boats come together.  “It was so impressive as a child. It was more than a boat, it was exquisite furniture. It was all in mahogany wood, just fantastic.”

His appreciation for the work of the craftspeople left a lasting impression, especially since the family seems to have a knack for building things. Three generations of the Giorgetti family are behind several of the Grand Duchy’s notable buildings. Take, for example, the national theatre and concert venue, Grand Théâtre de la Ville de Luxembourg. Felix Giorgetti’s construction company won the bid to build the project that had been drawn by a young and fiery French architect named Alain Bourbonnais. It turned out to be quite complex due, in part, to the personality of the architect and his choice of raw materials. The deep grey stone with white veins selected for the façade was found only in northern Italy in two quarries in an area that Felix knew well. He decided to work with the smaller and more competitive quarry on top of the hill, but it meant he had to cross the competitor’s land to reach the road. When they refused to grant him the right of way, Giorgetti built a cable car to gain access.

Giorgetti receives a Paperjam award in 2016

Gio was all of three years old when the theatre was finished in 1964 but this project left quite an impression. Every day, Felix walked his children to school past the construction site, an episode that Gio recounted with emotion in 2016 during his speech when accepting an award as one of Luxembourg’s leading business leaders from magazine  Paperjam . The event was held in the very same theatre.

Construction remains the family business.  Gio and his brother, Paul, joined their father in 1986 after completing their studies and today are at the helm of Luxembourg’s largest construction company. As Luxembourg grew, so did Felix Giorgetti, which today is a diversified group of  16 businesses across several economic sectors.  One of the most recent areas of expansion is  the hospitality business, with the construction  of around 800 hotel rooms. In all, the company directly employs 1,800 people and, counting subcontractors and families, is responsible for the well-being of some 10,000 people in a country with a population of 626,000 – so it’s a very big fish in a relatively small pond.

Marc Giorgetti’s first boat, an Amel 54

Diversification has been a key strategy and the company is also invested in the marine sector.  Gio did not set out to own a shipyard or a boat dealership but perhaps his history predestined him to do so.

He bought his first boat, an Amel Super Maramu, in 2002, following it up three years later with an Amel 54. In 2008, he was ready to trade up again and was attracted to the Italian shipyard that built the Solaris sailing boats. The yard, which started in the early 1970s, is based in Aquileia, near Trieste in Northeast Italy. He says his ancestry was not really a factor in the decision, although understanding the language and culture made it easier for him to enjoy the experience. “In my heart, Italian and boats go together,” he says.

The yard at the time worked with a free-thinking American naval architect who knew all about designing fast hulls and winning regattas, but could also design comfortable cruising boats – the late Doug Peterson. It was with Peterson that Gio built the first of three Solaris 72s. Having cruised extensively with his family, he knew exactly how he wanted to use the boat. “I think sailing people are more passionate about boats,” he says. “They are more aware of everything.  They ask more questions. They go into every detail. In summary, they are more involved in the process.” That is certainly true in his case.

Giorgetti’s Solaris 72

“I asked the shipyard to send me the digital files and worked on the interior design with one of my company’s architects,” he says. “I had all these ideas from living on my previous boats with my family and the yard liked them. After four months, the boss of Solaris [at the time, Alessandro Puntin] asked me if I would be interested in becoming a partner and so I bought a third of the company.”

After doing an Atlantic crossing from Tenerife to St Martin on his first 72, Gio went on to build two more Solaris 72s with naval architecture by Javier Soto Acebal. Last year, he became even more involved with Solaris Yachts, as the company’s majority shareholder. It was last year also that the company started a new power division in consultancy with Norberto Ferretti, the founder of Ferretti Group. Solaris Power has already launched the first few of the delightful lobster boats built in its Performance Boats yard in Forlì.

Gio is very much in favour of diversification but he remains committed to sailing yachts. For a time, he had his eye on Wally. “I was interested in having two brands. If you draw a parallel with the car industry, Solaris was Porsche and Wally was Ferrari,” he says.

The two companies already had a relationship since Solaris Yachts built two boats for Wally ( Barong D  and  Nahita ) and it seemed like a great fit. Although they came “very close” to a deal, in the end they could not reach an agreement.

Gio then resolved to do the next best thing and that was to build a yacht that would have the kind of allure and performance that Wally offered, only with more elaborate and comfortable interiors to appeal to a wider segment of the sailing market.

Javier Soto Acebal, left, with Giorgetti. The Argentinian naval architect has worked on two 72s and the 111

He decided to undertake the construction of a new flagship for Solaris’s superyacht division. For this project, he worked with Monaco Yacht Temptation (MYT) Design, whose owner, Carlo Torre, has a long history with Wally, and again with Soto Acebal as naval architect.

Gio was quite involved and visited the yard in Forlì frequently during the construction of  CeFeA , the first Solaris 111. Implementing many of his ideas and some features reminiscent of his previous boat, Solaris Yachts built the new flagship in pre-peg carbon and foam, with titanium fittings, a 46-metre carbon mast and a 6.05-metre lifting keel that reduces to 3.9 metres. The sailplan, including a self-tacking jib, is easily managed by a small crew. “I did not want to compromise. I said: ‘This has to be the best boat to ever come out so far’, and I know we succeeded,” he says.

While the boat is light – 75 tonnes with 22 tonnes of ballast included – and fast, racing is not the point. “I am not a regatta guy. I prefer to have fun with friends and family on the boat. If I do a regatta, it’s for the pure pleasure of sailing.” But why not enjoy both performance and comfort? That’s the idea with this new yacht, with an owner’s cabin that is nearly 40 square metres in area, and a wide hull – 7.9 metres at its widest – for less heeling, and a large and private cockpit accessible from the owner’s cabin, allowing the owner, when not at the wheel, to have total privacy. “Now we have a performance-oriented boat with a large owner’s cabin with two bathrooms, four bedrooms and a crew area for five with generous volume. Happy crew, happy owner,” he says. “Competitors have to go to 40 metres to get the same comfort inside space-wise.”

This being the new flagship, Gio went for all the bells and whistles to set new standards but in the end it will be up to each owner to decide on the degree of comfort; it’s all bespoke.

What of the future? He’s been able to pass on his love of sailing to his children, who are on their way to joining the family business. “I am very happy and proud about that.” He hopes that he’ll be able to sail  CeFeA  to some of his favourite Mediterranean destinations soon before another interesting new challenge starts. As we part company, he drops a hint about a new venture. “Yes, it’s about boats again,” he says with a smile. “It’s very exciting, but more on this later.”

CNB 78 "One" : Il nuovo arrivo di Solaris, un capolavoro dell'arte della navigazione a vela

Jochen Rieker

 ·  24.03.2024

In autunno, lo Stretto di Bonifacio, che separa la parte meridionale della Corsica dal nord della Sardegna, può diventare molto mosso. Anche in estate il mare può ruggire a causa del vento di maestrale. In questi momenti, la zona, nota per le sue baie limpide e turchesi e considerata una delle più belle aree di navigazione di tutto il Mediterraneo, si trasforma in un vero e proprio calderone. Oggi, però, in questo giorno di prima prova di un'imbarcazione che annuncia una nuova era per il marchio CNB, non ce n'è traccia.

È la costruzione numero 1 del CNB 78, e questo è anche il nome di questa bellezza in elegante nero metallizzato: "One". Il suo imponente scafo misura quasi 25 metri da bompresso a poppa. Il performante armo di Hall Spars in fibra di carbonio trasparente svetta a 34 metri di altezza. Una scultura che affascina i passanti da lontano.

I fianchi della nave disegnata da Philippe Briand sono formati da due chines, che le conferiscono un misto di forza ed eleganza. Il ponte, che si alza leggermente verso prua, crea una tensione accattivante, soprattutto in contrasto con la linea allungata delle finestre della sovrastruttura. L'armonia del design è così perfetta che non è necessario verniciare lo scafo per enfatizzarne la bellezza. Anche in gelcoat bianco, il CNB 78 è semplicemente mozzafiato.

Rimane scoperta la sede della CNB 78

Il suo ponte di prua è rimasto completamente intonso, dall'albero all'attacco dello strallo di prua. I boccaporti Solimar sapientemente realizzati, il verricello di ormeggio Harken a scomparsa, il binario del fiocco autovirante: tutto è a filo con la coperta in teak chiaro, come è consuetudine per questa categoria di imbarcazioni. Le drizze passano sull'albero, attorno al quale possono essere raggruppati fino a quattro winch per semplificare la gestione delle cime nel pozzetto di lavoro di poppa.

La vera caratteristica del CNB 78 - il suo salone panoramico vetrato - si estende dal centro della nave fin quasi al boma principale. Vista lateralmente, la sovrastruttura ingloba anche il pozzetto degli ospiti, nascondendone efficacemente l'altezza. Philippe Briand, questo grande maestro del gusto squisito, ha fatto ancora una volta la sua magia. La grazia, la competenza e la potenza che il suo progetto emana nascondono un volume e una spaziosità sottocoperta che non sono paragonabili a yacht della stessa lunghezza, ma piuttosto a calibri che vanno dagli 85 ai 90 piedi.

Offrono più spazio, più prestazioni, più libertà creativa

Questo, tra l'altro, è stato il fulcro del nuovo sviluppo, il primo da quando Solaris Yachts ha rilevato il marchio CNB nel 2021. Il CNB 78 è una dichiarazione, per così dire, un posizionamento attuale per l'intera linea, che un giorno andrà dai 60 agli 88 piedi. Dovrebbe offrire più spazio, più prestazioni, più libertà di progettazione, ma senza compromettere il suo DNA.

La strategia delineata da Marc Giorgetti a Cannes ben due anni fa si sta concretizzando. Il partner lussemburghese sta creando un intero gruppo premium di yacht a vela e a motore attorno al marchio principale Solaris, sinonimo di performance cruiser di alto livello. Per coprire anche il segmento delle imbarcazioni di lusso a lunga percorrenza, Giorgetti ha rilevato il marchio di fascia alta CNB del Gruppo Beneteau che, nonostante il suo successo, non si era mai inserito nel settore dei grandi volumi del leader del mercato mondiale.

Solaris e CNB si completano quasi perfettamente in termini di orientamento, afferma Vincent Arnaud, Brand Director dell'azienda francese da quasi dieci anni. Egli vede un'analogia con l'industria automobilistica: i due marchi e i loro prodotti sono "come Maserati e Range Rover".

CNB è ora pienamente integrata nella produzione di Aquileia, nel nord Italia. La "One", quindi, non solo incarna il riallineamento sotto la direzione di Solaris, ma è anche la prima imbarcazione costruita nel sito ampliato e modernizzato dopo l'acquisizione.

A cosa serve concettualmente il CNB 78

Quando saliamo a bordo, nemmeno una goccia di rugiada notturna copre il tetto della cabina e l'ampio pozzetto. Lo skipper Adonis Vlachopoulos e sua moglie Nadia sono solitamente in piedi prima delle sei per mantenere la barca in ottime condizioni. I due si occupano del "One" come equipaggio fisso. Il CNB 78 è stato progettato per questo, meglio di molte altre imbarcazioni del suo genere.

Nelle specifiche date, potrebbe essere gestito anche da una coppia di proprietari esperti, perché tutte le manovre possono essere eseguite essenzialmente premendo un pulsante. Tuttavia, i sistemi necessari richiedono un livello di competenza, manutenzione e cura tale da rendere le mani di un professionista, se non indispensabili, altamente raccomandabili.

Questa mattina il sole è ancora così basso che parte del porto, costeggiato da alte scogliere calcaree, è in ombra. Le previsioni meteo promettono una giornata perfetta, inizialmente con 7-10 nodi da ovest, poi 12-15 nodi dal primo pomeriggio. È ora di salpare!

Adonis avvia il motore diesel Volvo Penta a quattro cilindri da 3,7 litri, installato sotto il pavimento del salone, vicino al baricentro dello yacht. Ma nulla si muove: nessun ronzio silenzioso, nessuna vibrazione sottile. Nel tranquillo idillio post-stagionale del Port de Bonifacio, nel pozzetto non si sente nemmeno il borbottio dello scarico.

Il motorino di avviamento è in funzione? Il pulsante di avviamento nel quadro elettrico è difettoso? Il capitano nota l'irritazione e sorride. "Tutto bene!", ci assicura, indicando il contagiri. In effetti, il motore funziona!

Il greco si fa da parte, fa un gesto invitante verso il timone e toglie la cima di ormeggio di poppa a dritta dalla galloccia. Almeno rimane abbastanza vicino da poter intervenire se necessario. Naturalmente non è necessario, perché il CNB 78 facilita il timoniere.

Da un lato, c'è il momento d'inerzia di circa 50 tonnellate di dislocamento in condizioni di navigazione libera e ben equipaggiata. Dall'altro, questa massa può essere governata con estrema precisione, quasi con cura. E così la nave nera, i cui pigmenti scintillano alla luce del sole, scivola silenziosamente e senza sforzo dal molo dell'estremo oriente sotto lo sguardo attento di una piccola folla di curiosi.

CNB 78 è in grado di manovrare su piccola scala

Dal timone di uno yacht lungo 24,85 metri e largo 6,10 metri, quasi tutti i bacini portuali sembrano inizialmente stretti. Tuttavia, il CNB gira grazie ai suoi timoni gemelli a poco più di una lunghezza e mezza di barca. Inoltre, su richiesta, può essere dotato di eliche di prua e di poppa estensibili, che consentono manovre ancora più ridotte.

Come molti altri extra, come i winch elettrici primari, gli avvolgitori idraulici del genoa, la coperta in teak o lo sprayhood, non fanno parte dell'equipaggiamento standard. Questo può sorprendere, perché in realtà sono inclusi in barche di queste dimensioni. Tuttavia, CNB non persegue deliberatamente una strategia di prezzi inclusivi, ma lascia la configurazione in gran parte agli armatori. In questo caso, hanno molta libertà di progettazione; chi non è avaro può facilmente aumentare il prezzo base del 50% o più in questo modo.

Le paratie rimangono inamovibili, come di consueto con un concetto semi-custom. Entro questi limiti, tuttavia, il cantiere offre numerosi moduli di layout possibili, quattro legni diversi solo per gli interni, decine di opzioni di equipaggiamento e una gamma quasi incommensurabile di tessuti di rivestimento. Anche se non si tiene conto di questi elementi, l'elenco delle opzioni comprende quasi 200 voci, senza contare le richieste speciali. È quindi praticamente impossibile che due CNB 78 lascino i capannoni di produzione dell'Adriatico settentrionale con configurazioni anche solo lontanamente simili.

Il primo del suo genere è dotato di un equipaggiamento molto sofisticato, quasi completo, con un notevole vantaggio in termini di prestazioni. Oltre all'albero in carbonio, più alto di due metri rispetto a quello standard in alluminio, con un boma avvolgibile in stile Park Avenue, il "One" ha una chiglia profonda tre metri e un set di vele a membrana 3Di Ocean di North Sails, molto resistenti.

La randa misura 175 metri quadrati, il genoa 152 metri quadrati. In relazione al dislocamento, ciò si traduce in un fattore di carico velico nella gamma sportiva: 5,0. Con 82 metri quadrati, il fiocco autovirante guidato sullo strallo fisso è grande solo la metà del genoa e agisce come una sorta di primo terzarolo (fattore di carico velico 4,4). Su richiesta, lo strallo interno può essere ordinato con un tenditore idraulico e un avvolgifiocco Reckmann: un'opzione altamente raccomandata, in quanto consente di utilizzare sempre la tensione ottimale dello strallo, che garantisce maggiore velocità e altezza, soprattutto in fase di virata.

Accumulare miglia, ma in modo efficiente

A causa della mancanza di supporto termico, la brezza inizialmente si indebolisce come previsto. E così navighiamo verso sud-est, in direzione dell'arcipelago della Maddalena in Sardegna, verso l'inizio delle termiche. Con la sua lunga linea di galleggiamento di oltre 22 metri, il CNB 78 può percorrere miglia molto efficienti. La sua velocità di carena è di 11,5 nodi, mentre la velocità di crociera corrisponde a circa 9 nodi. Come in porto, rimane piacevolmente silenzioso al minimo. Nella cabina armatoriale a prua, lo scroscio dell'acqua affossa il suono ben attenuato del Volvo; anche nel salone, sotto il cui pavimento ruota il motore a quattro cilindri, non è necessario alzare la voce. Solo a poppa, in cucina, il ronzio è più udibile.

Ma il CNB non è una barca a motore, è una barca a vela. E lo dimostra in modo impressionante quando si alza il vento. Bastano 3 Beaufort per metterla di buon umore. Tra i 10 e i 12 nodi, la barca registra costantemente una velocità di circa 7,5-8 nodi al traverso e trasmette già al timone una sensazione di pressione. Naturalmente, non ha bisogno di alcun supporto attivo: una volta trimmato correttamente, l'imponente yacht tiene la rotta quasi da solo.

Quando si rinfresca fino a 15 nodi, cambia poco nel piacevole equilibrio. Il CNB 78 si inclina solo un po' di più a poppa, accelera a 9-9,5 nodi e per il resto rimane tranquillo. Si sente più a suo agio quando lo si lascia correre invece di stringere fino all'ultimo grado. L'angolo di virata ottimale è compreso tra 96 e 100 gradi. Può anche essere forzata più vicino al vento, ma con un angolo di vento reale di 45 gradi si perde più velocità di quanta se ne guadagna in bolina.

La gioia di gestire la CNB 78

È un piacere governarla, cosa che non si può dire di tutti gli yacht di queste dimensioni. La visuale dalle postazioni di guida è perfetta, così come l'ergonomia, sia in piedi che seduti. La panca del timoniere è progettata come un'estensione della mastra e si incurva verso l'interno in un dolce arco; una caratteristica di design che si ripete anche sottocoperta. Da qui, basta un passo per raggiungere i winch che separano la postazione di comando dal pozzetto ospiti.

A sua volta, il pozzetto convince per il suo carattere lounge. Poiché la passerella è decentrata, il pozzetto offre due aree: A dritta, l'equipaggio troverà una panca che può essere utilizzata anche come lettino, mentre a sinistra si trova l'area di seduta con il tavolo del pozzetto, che può essere abbassato idraulicamente su richiesta. Anche con l'aggiunta di sedie, lo spazio è sufficiente per raggiungere la poppa senza ostacoli.

Sotto questa sistemazione all'aperto estremamente confortevole, un vero e proprio gommone riposa in un grande garage longitudinale. Il CNB 78 può ospitare nel suo garage di poppa un Williams Sport-Tender 395, l'ultimo speedter da ormeggio. Con la sua propulsione a getto basata su un motore Rotax, raggiunge una velocità di 46 nodi, offre spazio per sei persone ed è adatto anche allo sci nautico. Per facilitare le operazioni di varo e recupero, CNB ha sviluppato un sistema di varo con verricello elettrico, uno degli optional più consigliati. In questo modo, il gommone può essere varato o riposto in pochi minuti.

Concetto di camera convincente

Il fatto che siano stati sacrificati quasi quattro metri di lunghezza dello scafo non si nota sottocoperta, anzi. Al contrario, il CNB colpisce per un concetto di spazio che supera il suo predecessore e la maggior parte dei suoi attuali concorrenti. La chiave del design degli interni, opera dell'interior designer Jean-Marc Viaton, sta nelle chiare linee di visuale dal salone verso l'esterno. Chi percorre l'ampio e piacevole corridoio piatto verso il basso si trova in un mondo completamente isolato acusticamente, senza mai perdere il contatto con il mare.

Le ampie superfici vetrate sono a filo del ponte nella parte inferiore, il che fonde visivamente l'interno e l'esterno e amplia visivamente lo spazio. A differenza del suo predecessore, il CNB 76, che ha venduto molto bene con 32 unità, questo effetto è ora disponibile anche a poppa. Un'ulteriore finestra allarga il corridoio vetrato a babordo. L'arredamento appare più leggero, più elegante e anche più arioso grazie all'assenza del sistema di navigazione. Quest'ultimo è stato spostato nell'alloggio dell'equipaggio, dove si affianca alla linea centrale della cucina.

Verso la parte anteriore, ci sono due punti che fanno la differenza: Il CNB 78 offre due cabine ospiti equivalenti con cuccette doppie o singole opzionali, un guadagno dovuto all'aumento della larghezza dello scafo. Il 76, invece, aveva solo cuccette disposte una sopra l'altra a dritta. Il vantaggio è ancora più evidente nella cabina armatoriale, che occupa l'intero ponte di prua e ricorda più una camera d'albergo.

I bordi curvi, una sorta di firma della nave, si ritrovano qui nel divisorio in barre di legno massiccio che si trova dietro la scrivania e funge da schermo per la privacy quando la porta di passaggio è aperta. Si ritrovano anche nella paratia longitudinale della cabina ospiti sul lato di dritta, impiallacciata senza soluzione di continuità e perfettamente distesa: solo uno dei tanti dettagli in cui i costruttori di Solaris dimostrano cosa sanno fare.

Realizzato con metodi di costruzione tradizionali

La loro arte non si limita alla falegnameria. Il CNB 78 mostra anche la sostanza dietro la sua superficie chic. A differenza di quanto avviene sotto l'egida del Gruppo Beneteau, il successore del 76 non è più costruito con metodi semi-industriali, ma in modo tradizionale. Ciò significa che i grandi moduli con la propria sede sul pavimento non sono prefabbricati e incollati. Al contrario, il nuovo CNB è costruito in serie: prima lo scafo, il pavimento, le paratie e poi gli interni. Questa soluzione si adatta meglio ai modelli semi-custom, dove gli armatori vogliono che i loro desideri individuali siano presi in considerazione all'interno di un determinato layout. E va di pari passo con una solidità e una resistenza ancora maggiori. Nonostante l'ampio salone, il 78 naviga con una notevole rigidità torsionale e praticamente senza scricchiolii o scricchiolii.

E anche se gli armatori raramente si addentreranno nella sua sala macchine: È anche un modello di praticità e perfezione. Il pavimento del salone può essere rimosso per i lavori di manutenzione più importanti: tutti i sistemi rilevanti sono così disposti in modo ordinato e chiaro all'aperto. Se il pavimento rimane chiuso, tutti i componenti sono comunque accessibili senza grossi disagi.

Arno Kronenberg, che, come in precedenza, è responsabile delle vendite in Germania, Austria e Svizzera, cita questo "livello di qualità ancora più elevato" come uno dei principali vantaggi che la nuova sede del marchio porterà. Sotto l'egida di Solaris, l'esperto velista oceanico ritiene che CNB possa rafforzare ulteriormente il suo più importante punto di forza: "Costruire barche che offrono comfort e prestazioni sull'acqua, ma che sono anche impeccabili yacht d'acqua blu per crociere in tutto il mondo". Il CNB 78 è solo l'inizio, ma che inizio!
