CNB Yachts CNB 78
About this yacht
The CNB Yachts CNB 78 represents a refined evolution in offshore cruising—a sailing yacht designed for those who demand both capability and comfort on extended passages. At just under 24 meters waterline length, she strikes an ideal balance: substantial enough for serious ocean crossings, yet manageable enough to explore coastal anchorages with a small professional crew. This performance cruiser builds upon the proven foundation of the CNB 76, retaining the essential qualities that define a proper bluewater sailboat while introducing meaningful improvements in volume and livability. The hull features twin chines borrowed from ocean racing design, delivering the kind of performance that makes long passages rewarding rather than merely endurable. Her wide, powerful form promises both stability and speed under sail. The layout reflects a thoughtful approach to extended cruising. The owner's suite occupies the entire forward section—an expanse of space typically found on yachts approaching 30 meters. This cabin can be configured with either an aft-facing bed and sofa or a forward-facing bed with desk, adapting to how you prefer to live aboard. Two equally sized guest cabins amidships ensure comfortable accommodation for up to 12 guests, with one cabin offering the flexibility of twin single berths. The aft section is dedicated entirely to crew operations: a professional galley, integrated navigation station, and twin crew cabin with optional third berth. This separation allows the permanent crew to manage the yacht efficiently without intruding on guest areas. What distinguishes this sailing yacht is how seamlessly interior and exterior spaces connect. The saloon extends naturally into the cockpit through a glass aft bulkhead and panoramic roof, creating an uninterrupted sense of openness. Natural light floods the interior, highlighting the balanced interplay of wood, lacquered surfaces, and carefully selected fabrics—a design language that feels both classic and contemporary. The CNB 78 draws on CNB's decades of offshore experience and Solaris' technical expertise to create a modern cruising sailboat that doesn't compromise. She's built to explore distant waters while maintaining the refined comfort expected aboard a yacht of this caliber.
