An initial step was made towards composite construction in 1993 with the
undertaking of the finishing and interior fittings for the 25 meter maxi
racers “La Poste” and “Merit”, (Whitbread 1993/94).
In 1996 the team, specializing in this material was put into place bringing
an unequalled experience of 15 years, during which time more than 150 catamarans
destined for cruising and many racing boats were built.
In mid November 1999, CNB inaugurated a new building (6,000 m2 covered,
6,000 m2 paved open area) dedicated to high-tech composite construction
with vacuum infused resin. This is the logical culmination of CNB’s
desire to become an actor to be reckoned with in the field of composite
yacht construction.
In 1999 the shipyard signed its first orders for composite boats measuring
between 64’ and 104’. The first launching took place at the
beginning of 2000.
