CRN Launches 43-Meter “Hana”
Ancona, 29 March 2008 – In a private ceremony reserved for the shipowner and his guests, Ancona’s CRN shipyard launched “Hana”, a splendid displacement model maxi-yacht measuring 43-metres and representing the second hull of the highly successful CRN 43 composite line, whose first six vessels have already been sold.
The shipyard kept the event a private affair for the client, who hails from the Middle East and arrived for the occasion accompanied by family and close friends. After a few words of greeting from CRN President Lamberto Tacoli, as well as the traditional breaking of the bottle, the stirring ceremony reached the point where “Hana” was launched down the ramp: a thrill for all present, further highlighted by the notes of the well known aria “Con te partiṛ”, as well as the heartfelt applause of those on hand.
There was great satisfaction at the shipyard for the completion of the vessel, which comes at a moment of historic commercial success and new investments in operating structures. At present, a full 22 vessels are simultaneously under construction at the Ancona complex, 13 of them under the CRN brand name: 7 custom projects in steel and aluminum, at lengths of 54 to 72 meters, and 6 semi-custom composite vessels, measuring from 40 to 43 meters.
