CRN, the builder of steel and aluminium pleasure vessels between 50 and 90m in length, hosted a private ceremony on Saturday, May 9, 2015 to launch its brand new 55m motor yacht ATLANTE (hull No. 134). With naval engineering by the yard’s in-house Engineering Department and beautifully designed by acclaimed Nuvolari Lenard, superyacht ATLANTE boasts amazingly strong, unmistakable personality. She will now undergo the last fitting-out activities and technical sea trials.
55m CRN Superyacht Atlante at Launch
Nuvolari Lenard has already successfully partnered with CRN on several luxury vessels, including the 43-metre charter yacht Magenta M (ex Magnifica), the 46-metre superyacht Clarena and Saramour yacht, as well as the 72-metre mega yacht Azteca.
“Launching a new yacht is always a moment of great pride for the entire Shipyard” – says CRN’s Chairman and CEO Lamberto Tacoli – “as emotions go hand in hand with the satisfaction of knowing that each and every one of our products is going to represent our brand and Made-in-Italy yachting across the world’s seas. The ‘ATLANTE’ is an extraordinary jewel – a very innovative one – we can truly be proud of. We are deeply grateful to the Owner Company for choosing us to build such an extraordinary yacht; to the design firm Nuvolari Lenard, that through the ‘ATLANTE’ have once more confirmed their incredible creativity; and to all CRN’s workers and subcontractors who were involved in this project from its very beginning to its final completion.”
Entirely constructed in Ancona, ATLANTE yacht has a purposely strong stylistic identity, which takes inspiration from some elements typical of military crafts: square shapes, sharp lines, as well as innovative, sophisticated design solutions.
Architect Dan Lenard said: “We conceived and created this new yacht together with CRN following the requirements of the Owner Company. The outer lines have been developed having in mind a specific final look – aggressive, but at the same time very proportionate. Seen in her entirety, this is a high-impact yacht, whose determined military look becomes soft on the sea. This is why we found some original solutions, such as a non-traditional bow and areas entirely devoted to guests, like the side doors of the main deck that, once the tenders have been launched, can be exploited to the fullest.”
Spanning over five spacious decks, super yacht ATLANTE is run by twin 1230 KW @ 1800 RPM CATERPILLAR diesels, delivering a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots.
