CRN’s Project 146 is designed by Nuvolari Lenard

CRN, which celebrated its 60^th anniversary last year, has announced the signing of a new contract for a fully bespoke 67m motor yacht that marks its 10^th superyacht project designed by Nuvolari Lenard. While the Italian design studio handled the yacht’s sleek, streamlined exterior styling and its interiors, the naval architecture and engineering are also fully customised.

Known internally as M/Y Project 146, the yacht will feature a steel hull, aluminium superstructure and a diesel-electric propulsion system. The client is represented by Moran Yacht & Ship, which is the owner’s representative and whose new construction team negotiated the building contract, drew up the technical specifications, and will supervise the entire build.

Standout features include a touch-and-go helipad on the upper deck, an extensive beach club with water toys, and a spacious dive centre, while a state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion system has been designed for increased energy efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.

The shipyard’s ongoing efforts toward sustainable yacht design include the development of energy-recovery solutions and proper sizing of equipment. Project 146 is fitted with a heat-recovery system that uses the thermal energy from the generators to heat the water in the pools, water boilers and deck washing system.

Earlier Nuvolari Lenard motor yacht designs for CRN include the 43m Magnifica (2001), 46m Kooilust Mare (2003), 46m Saramour (2005), 72m Azteca (2009) and 55m Atlante (2015). These were followed in recent years by the 62m Voice (2020), 60m Comfortably Numb (2022) and 72m Njoy (2023), plus the 67m Project Maranello, which is currently in build.

The 85m M/Y 144 and 70m Project Thunderball (M/Y 145) are other full-custom CRN superyachts being built at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona, on Italy’s east coast. The multi-brand hub is also producing six aluminium builds comprising the first two hulls of the Custom Line Navetta 50, hulls one and two of the Riva 54Metri, and hulls four and five of the Pershing 140.

The Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard is also where Custom Line’s composite range from 30-45m is built, with 26 yachts – as of early April – under construction in the sheds or at the finishing and testing stages on the docks before delivery to their owners and project management teams.
