Welcome to the all new CNB 78! Now owned by Solaris, renowned for their exquisite cruiser racers, Solaris has renewed the CNB range, keeping the CNB DNA as serious, elegant and supremely comfortable blue-water cruisers. Phillippe Briand the renowned CNB designer, has revisited the model and produced the new CNB 78, following the 88 as part of the CNB fleet renewal. A one-piece hull with its bulkheads, seamless Italian woodwork, top-of-the-range equipment from premium brands. The CNB 78 follows in the footsteps of the successful CNB 76, yet offers more volume. The first units have already been sold off plan and hull one will be available for inspection in Spring 2023.
The low profile pilothouse, off-centre companionway, large cockpit with twin wheels, twin rudders, plumb stem, and powerful hull with chine all reflect the Phillipe Briand and CNB heritage. Built with exacting process and tolerances renowned of Solaris, the 78 is configured for owners who would like to sail by themselves or with a professional crew.

Philippe Briand's original CNB 76 became an icon, with over thirty hulls delivered. The design has been completely refreshed for the brand new CNB 78.This is a new hull with a wider transom and two chines, its clear to see this is an amazing leap in the interior volume. The interior now boasts two proper guest doubles, a noticeably larger, brighter saloon enhanced by moving the chart table into the crew section of the boat, creating a more open saloon. Other big wins are incredible light in the saloon from the aft "window" by the companionway, incredible storage throughout, more crew space and a bigger tender capacity. On deck, it’s just one level all roundThe 78 is lighter, stiffer, with new woodwork, and now with Solimar hatches, seamless teak decking, Mastervolt management and a host of features reflecting the Solaris build philosophy, the yacht is stronger and faster than her predecessor.Designed from the outset to be operated by a small team, she can comfortably accommodate a couple of professional crew. The massive guest cockpit is never obstructed by controls, which are sent back to the area around the helming stations, above the sidedecks. On board, everything is treated as a one-off : the professional galley fit out, the light-filled environment and even the soundproofing throughout, including the engine-room. As for the integral garage, it now takes a 3.95m tender with its engine, stowed in less than a minute, an arrangement generally reserved for a 90-foot monohull.Part exchanges are encouraged and finance is available.
