CNB 78 under sail - the refinement of a small superyacht

The new CNB 78 embraces subtle changes from the previous 76 to create a well-rounded cruising yacht for optimum use with a small pro crew. Toby Hodges sails 'One' from Palma. Full report in Yachting World October 2024.

The video is excellent but the boat is even more wonderful ! Very satisfying ultra luxury- performance sail_ CNB 78 indeed. I really feel sad not being able to find a 50/55 ft boat with such luxurious furnishing and pedigree from this shipyard !

Hi Toby, we are here at the Cannes Boat Show with our brand new VisionF 82 “SITARA” – an 82-foot motor catamaran – built completely of aluminum and with a very exceptional design. If you are interested in visiting the yacht, just get in touch with the owner, that's me. Maybe we can make an exciting video out of it.Regards, HG

I hope I can sail with my idol Toby one day.

As usual no protection for the helmsman. Imagine going across the Atlantic in bad weather. The load on that main sheeting arrangement must be huge in strong winds, hopefully it will not snap otherwise someone can be killed. Apart from that, a stellar boat!

Fantastic boat, really enjoyed the video

Wow that sone of the most beautiful interiors I have seen on a yacht !

[intsccents]

Well what can one say shes is a perfect 10 ! sporty great living area fantastic cockpit area for entertaing and looks quite fast, even if i sell my company im still short a few million but what a way to go... Thank you Toby for showing us a boat that most of us wish for or aspire to have...fingers crossed...

After Bayesian, suddenly those large fancy boats look different. Has it been designed by a capable designer? Did its designer reallly give top priority on safety or instead go and focuse on some owner-pleasing fancy features?
Questions, questions...

Love this boat, just would change the soft rooftop to a carbon rooftop and have removable sides and a couple of hatches

[jwxlr]

More or less the same price as an Hallberg rassy 69🤔🤔🤔 Great review as always Toby!!!

[Vokral]

As usual, nice review! De Niro - you are the best!
By the way, the wet deck looks much better than the dry one ))

Toby a question given that extra tall carbon lightening rod.... and the increased incidence and itensity of electrical storms recently how do they handle protecting the boat and the electrical systems? 🤔🧙🏻‍♂️🇬🇧 Its been a few years of Squalls and storms with a lot of lightning and quite a few reported strikes.

Its a very attractive vessel but ... Its a global problem and especially in the boating hotspots... because thats the nature of Climate driven weather.

Removable staple type rails on and below decks might help moving around the larger open spaces underway in rougher conditions.

Recent events have revealed even on larger vessels one has to consider how to evacuate a wide boat space in the event of blow down as well as genuinely watertight hatches and Entrance.

CNB killer mainsheet in the cockpit. Its just not safe on a cruising boat. Two people died from this on a CNB

[nodaklojack]

I have come to realize that it is not the length of hull that matters to me. It is the height of mast that limits my abilities/comfort. That is simply too much mast for me to ever be comfortable with. Nice to be on, with a crew and experienced skipper.

Is there going to be a Neo 350 our 430 sail test video?

[erikjanssen]

What what you say is the annual maintenance on this yacht?

[socksoffladygoatboy]

Navstation in the way down in galley says it all. Nah thanks! Good video anyway!

Hi Toby, been watching your videos for a long time, and I'm a big fan. Can you please somehow get aboard the Baltic 175 Ravenger? And Film it?

[metegokce]

Not an Italian design I hope. After what happened to that Perini yacht in Sicily...
