The steel-and-aluminium yacht has been moved into position at the Ancona shipyard in readiness for launch later this month in a private ceremony. Her startling grey hull, dark glass and sharp lines give it an almost military bearing, although the deck-to-ceiling windows at each level will really open up the inside spaces. The interior is the work of CRN’s in-house team in association with Gilles et Boissier architectural studio.

CRN’s 55-metre is shown being transported yesterday using hydraulic lift trucks. Pre-launch operations will be completed over the next few weeks.
