CCN And Floating Life Join Efforts To Design The ‘Commander’ a 42.5 M
Carrara-basedCCN-CerriCantieriNavaliand Swiss headquartered Floating Life have recentlyjoined their large expertise in shipbuilding, yacht design and management to work on a brand-new42.50 m vessel.
This steel yacht, strengthened to fit the“Light Ice class” and featuring an aluminium superstructure,has been developed starting from the tested hull of the K40, engineered byStudio Sculli andcurrently under construction in the Carrara shipyard.
Its outer lines too, have been pencilled by Studio Sculli and are extremely modern and aggressivealso thanks to the extensive use of glazed surfaces, which result in a bold, contemporary-styleyacht.“The design of the C415 – explainsMauroSculli – is what I would call ‘transversal’. i.e. a compromise between different types of yachts, mainly anexplorer and a traditional, modern craft,combined with the wish to include elements that would immediately and clearly reflect CCN’sdistinctive style”.
The interior layout features several innovative solutions and has been conceived to offer guests theutmost comfort thanks to spacious interior and exterior volumes, and large relaxation andsunbathing areas.
The Owner has available an entire deck, featuring, besides the master suite, a private pool at thebow. A second infinity edge pool for guests can be found aft on the upper deck.The main decklayout is quite original too, with the dining room located forward and connected to an outdoorlounge area.Conceived to meet a wide range of needs, this deck is extremely versatile:the aftarea is used to store a large 10 m tender and water toys, but can also be easily converted into apleasant conversation area.
There are also several areas devoted to well-being at the stern of the lower deck, the latter hosting4 cabins. A spacious beach-clubwith a bar and conversation area complete the ‘comfort zone’reserved for guests on this deck.
The crew quarters and the galley are large and comfortable, making this yacht ideal also for long-range cruises.
The bottom deck, which extends uninterruptedly from stern to bow, features the technical areas, acold room, and the laundry.A side access ensures easy galley supplies loading operations.Great care has also been devoted to the yacht’s eco-friendliness, and a bi-fuel solution is currentlybeing explored.
The Commander 415 will be powered by 2 CAT C32 ACERT engines, allowing it to reach amaximum speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots. Perfect vesselfor long-distance cruising, the C415 can boast an impressive range of 5,400 miles at cruising speed.
“Our success with the M/Y K40 encouraged us to develop this new project, of which we are veryproud, in cooperation with Floating Life.This yacht stands out for a number of modern, innovativesolutions –comments CCN’s CEO Diego Deprati – and I am confident it will be welcomed by themarket just as it deserves”.
