The CNB 66 is a high-performance cruising yacht designed by Philippe Briand and Jean-Marc Platon, built by CNB (FRA) between 2017 and 2022 with a total production of 23 hulls. This limited-production vessel combines a modern cutter rig with substantial displacement, reflecting a design philosophy focused on both speed and offshore comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideal for experienced coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize performance and comfort, particularly those seeking a spacious, well-equipped vessel for long-range passages. Its cutter rig and substantial ballast make it suitable for short-handed sailing, though its size and complexity may require a dedicated crew for optimal handling.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 68563.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.77, and a comfort ratio of 35.85, the CNB 66 exhibits strong offshore stability and seakeeping characteristics, supported by its fin keel and cutter rig configuration.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 54 and the X-Yachts X46, as they share similar production eras, high build quality, and a focus on bluewater cruising capabilities. Like the CNB 66, these boats offer robust construction and advanced sailing performance, appealing to discerning owners seeking premium cruising experiences.
