CRN preparing for launch. The new 79m yacht on the slipway.

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Italian coast on the Adriatic Sea will soon see another beauty touch the water for the first time. At the facility in Ancona, CRN is getting ready fo the launch of M/Y 135, the new 79-metre fully custom steel and aluminium megayacht.

The pre-launch positioning process has revealed the sleek shape of this imposing yacht, elegantly delineated by the smooth lines of her hull. M/Y 135 was designed by the CRN Technical Office in partnership with the Zuccon International Project design studio, which looked after the exterior, and with the Laura Sessa architecture studio, which developed the interiors.

With the aid of motorised hydraulic lift trucks, the megayacht was positioned on the slipway – the inclined surface where the pre-launch operations will be completed over the next few weeks. Handling a yacht weighing over 1,400 tons was a complex and spectacular operation, made possible by the total dedication and specialist expertise of the CRN workers.

Besides the M/Y CRN 135 79m, CRN is currently constructing another three fully custom yachts – M/Y CRN 137 62m, for delivery this summer, M/Y CRN 138 62m and M/Y CRN 139 70m.
