This CNB 66, Salty Moments, designed by Philippe Briand and built by Construction Navale Bordeaux, is a semi-custom cruising yacht that perfectly combines performance and luxury. CNB yachts are renowned for their striking design, exceptional build quality, and outstanding sailing performance, and Salty Moments is a shining example. She features sleek, uncluttered teak laid decks with flush hatches, a huge cockpit divided into a dedicated ‘working’ area aft and a generous ‘relaxation’ zone forward, and a hydraulically operated bathing platform that, when lowered, reveals a roomy tender garage. Despite her 66-foot length, this powerful cruiser is remarkably easy to handle with a small crew. Her carbon mast and hydraulic roller-furling carbon V-boom, developed in collaboration with Hall Spars, combined with hydraulic and electric furlers, electric winches, a hydraulic backstay tensioner and boomvang, and a self-tacking jib track recessed neatly into the deck, ensure effortless sail handling and precision control. She is, furthermore, equipped with a full suite of North Sails sails, an extensive Raymarine navigation package (at both helm stations, the mast, and the chart table), a 13.5kW generator, new upgraded batteries, and numerous technical enhancements. Power comes from a 180hp Volvo Penta shaft-drive engine, complemented by upgraded bow and stern thrusters, a folding propeller, and controls at both helm pedestals. Additional highlights include a water maker, life raft, carbon bowsprit, carbon steering wheels, carbon gangway, and an electrically operated cockpit table. Also noteworthy is the large sail locker, equipped with a fixed ladder, workbench, and modular storage cabinet system.It’s immediately evident that an external designer was commissioned to create the interior - and the result is nothing short of impressive. The atmosphere below deck is exceptionally inviting, with abundant natural light, a superb quality of finish, and a thoughtful layout that makes this yacht a genuinely delightful place to be. What sets this CNB apart is her unique interior configuration. Whereas the standard layout features one aft cabin, a forward owner’s suite, and two guest cabins amidships, Salty Moments offers a distinctive alternative: a spacious, open executive office replaces the starboard guest cabin, creating an elegant and functional workspace at sea. The main saloon exudes elegance and comfort, with a dining area to port featuring an electric telescopic table, and a generous lounge sofa to starboard. The galley, located aft to port, provides extensive countertop space and is equipped with a Miele stove with a three-zone induction hob, a Miele oven/microwave, multiple refrigerators and freezers, a Miele dishwasher, a Miele washer/dryer, and a Dometic wine cellar. All three cabins are tastefully appointed and designed for complete privacy, each with its own ensuite bathroom featuring a shower, electric toilet, and heated towel rail. Naturally, the entire interior is climate-controlled with reverse-cycle air conditioning, ensuring year-round comfort on board.
