BREAKING NEWS AND SMART MOVE OF THE YEAR : LAGOON CUSTOM LUXURY CATAMARANS BUILT BY CNB WITH THE WORLD LEADING MULTIHULL DESIGNERS

This is one of the most important news of the year in the world of luxury catamarans . The yacht builder CNB will be building the Lagoon Custom range of luxury catamarans according to the drawings of some of the the most famous designers in the world.

I think this is a great idea. CNB is well known for building very high quality yachts. Most potential buyers of large catamarans are reluctant to trust shipyards with little experience in multihulls and not financially backed by a large company. Both of this issues are addressed in this offer. CNB is already building all the lagoon catamarans range including the Lagoon 620 and is financially backed by the Beneteau Group, the world largest boat building company.
This should entice potential buyers to build the large luxury catamaran of their dream.

Most of the luxury catamarans offered by CNB were already introduced in the luxury catamaran blog. I hope now some of those beautiful yachts will come to life.

Design are offered by the following naval architects :

Van Peteghem-Lauriot Prévost (VPLP) : VPLP 100, VPLP 80, VPLP 186, VPLP 85 POWER
Philippe Briand : Philippe Briand 80, Philippe Briand 90
Dixon Yacht Design : Dixon Yacht Design 95, Dixon Yacht Design 100 Power Morrelli & Melvin : Aeroyacht 85 and Aeroyacht 110
Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design : Berret Racoupeau 76, Berret Racoupeau 100, Berret Racoupeau 160 Power

Here is the complete brochure.

LAGOON 620 - A 3D VIDEO

Designed by VPLP, this new Lagoon will be launched this year. A few units have already been sold. Built in infusion, this new lagoon will be easy to sail by a couple and yet performance orientated and comfortable. Lots of light inside thanks to large portholes around the salon and in the aft starboard cabin. This new flagship of the successful Lagoon range should be launched in June.

Other videos of the lagoon range are available at the following link. Lagoon 620

CLARIS NICOLAS AND ROMAIN

Last week-end I was doing some research on the JFA . This shipyard has built SUN TENAREZE, an 84 foot catamaran launched in 2004. I stopped on CLARIS website. I met Nicolas Claris in Dusseldorf, he is wellknow in France for his pictures of yachts sailing andyachts interiors. He works for JFA, CNB, LAGOON, SHIPMAN.... His advertising agency does a lot of work for the industry. His son Romain is incharge of the videos and his wife Marine is working on editing brochure, newsletter, books.... A family of artists.

On their site I found a section called "making of" where Romain is filming his father taking pictures. I let you have a look it gave me the gooseflesh, the images, the music, the editing is really great. If you need images for your yachts dont hesitate to get in touch with them.
