CRN Launches M/Y Saramour...
16th April 2005
A grand celebration will was held, Saturday April 16th, to hail the launching of the “Saramour”, a splendid 46-metre ship built by CRN spa, the second vessel in the “Magnifica” line.
Two gold stripes personalise the profile of the “Saramour”, highlighting its distinctive personality and the shipowner’s search for uniqueness. The product of a successful joint effort involving the Venetian firm Nuvolari & Lenard and the CRN shipyard, “Saramour” has been further enriched by the invaluable contribution of the Aiello internal design firm of Genoa.
Simplicity and elegance, discretion and uncluttered design forms were the objectives pursued by the owner in selecting the style of the yacht. A cultured, refined individual with a love for beautiful things, the owner has brought his passion for art aboard the vessel as well. Artworks regarding whose identity the strictest secrecy is still being kept will be given a berth on the “Saramour”, after being interpreted and showcased by the motifs, some of them quite daring, of the interior decorators, who are well acquainted with the personality and taste of the owner.
On the main deck, which opens onto the bow, there is a set of rigorously “bench-like” seats offset by a massive grey oak table in the lunch area. The same artistic rigour is found in the unswerving design choices made for the rest of the boat (panelling, curtains, types of wood), though this approach is interrupted by rich, complex pieces of furniture and materials, such as the Topkapi upholstered chairs by Cassina, to give just one example.
The rigorous choice of forms is contrasted, and made all the more effective, by a precise architecture of light that features warm, subtle colours, such as ivory, “Cyprian” yellow and the orange of fabrics, leathers and panels, which make for a perfect match with the light-shaded hues of pickled oak and the parquet floor, also in oak and installed in all the rooms of the vessel, including the bathrooms.
On the bow portion of the main deck, the shipowner’s suite perfectly sums the overall linearity and simplicity of tones and forms. Leading up to the night zone there is a study whose chaise-longue provides an opportunity for relaxation and meditation.
The architecture of light, the common theme of the ship’s design, reaches a point of perfect harmony in the clean lines traced by the firm of Nuvolari & Lenard. The roomy side windows showcase the lower deck, set aside for guests, with a cabin leading to a large, well-lighted lobby and an open work-out room equipped with Technogym equipment. Three more guest cabins complete the layout of this deck.
The upper deck holds the command zone, with the wheelhouse and the captain’s cabin. The stern portion of this deck offers a roomy sky lounge built around a central panel that provides a perfect setting for a work of art. A dormeuse lounge and corner sofa frame this ideal area for relaxation in the company of others.
Following the approach that increasingly characterises modern vessels, the “Saramour” provides ample space for open-air living. The elegance and sobriety of the internal designs is maintained in the external spaces, where splendid “shell” seats offer delightful moments of relaxation. An oval table seating 10 provides an ideal site for convivial gatherings. Social life is the exclusive purpose of the sun deck, where a lunch area, a bar zone and a Jacuzzi tub coexist in perfect harmony.
And close attention has also been paid to the design of the technical areas. A spacious mess room has been provided for the crew of 8, which is housed in 4 comfortable cabins, each with a bathroom of its own, in the forward portion of the lower deck. This area also holds the laundry zone, plus a cold room with plenty of space. On the main deck, a service stairway leads to a roomy professional kitchen perfectly outfitted with steel appliances for haute-cuisine cooking.
In the engine room, two Caterpillar 3512 engines made by the Swac company propel the vessel at a cruising speed of 15 knots, with a peak speed of 16. Two Kohler 125 ekW generators, plus an emergency generator at 55 ekW, complete the engine room.
“Saramour” is rated in the top category in the Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, and it is built in accordance with MCA standards.
