The third yacht of the CMN 60-meter series, "Cloud 9", has been delivered as we know and finally there are some interior pictures of her that I found. http://www.camperandnicholsons.com/charter/search/-/page/charter-yacht-profile/yid/6279/st/2/
Interior pictures of "Slipstream" are also available at another brokers website but I do not want to mention the name here...She turned out much better than the renderings suggested in my opinion.
CMN new website CMN has a new and improved website. Looks pretty good and it was a long time coming! A few photos onboard "Slipstream" and "Cloud 9" with interesting shots in the 'Art and Design' section. You can check it out here... http://www.cmnyacht.com/
"Necker Belle" finishes refit Sailing catamaran "Necker Belle" recently emerged from a lengthy refit at Azzura Yacht. She now returns to charter cruising with a fresh lease on life. Launched in 2003 as the "Lady Barbaretta", the Necker Belle will proceed to the Caribbean for the 2009 Winter season.
CMN at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show The acronym FLIBS has become the shorthand for the Ft Lauderdale International Boat Show which is held in Ft Lauderdale Florida every ‘Fall’ to use the correct American expression. Visiting FLIBS this October CMN Yachts will again showcase their shipyard and Line 60 yachts using the stunningly designed booth last seen at Monaco. The purpose built booth will be in the French section of the Yacht Builders Tent (YBT 610). The Abu Dhabi Mar group will also be represented along with two yacht models. The show is the centre piece of the US yacht industry and is possibly the largest in-water boat show in the world. http://www.cmnyachts.com ***
"Mimtee" for sale The CMN/OceAnco build "Mimtee" (ex. "Netanya 7") has been put up for sale. She is asking 19.5-Million Euros.
You may find alternative photos of the interior of "Cloud 9" on the charterworld website. The VIP looks small though, that balcony seems to be a real sacrifice. http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=yacht-charter&charter=mycloud-1546

A French shipyard, CMN subsidiary JMV industries, associated in this great success ! CMN would like to congratulate Loïck Peyron and his crew, who set an around-the-world sailing record in the Jules Verne Trophy, breaking the old mark by nearly three days. Peyron and his Banque Populaire V crew arrived late Friday night in Brest in a time of 45 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes, 53 seconds. CMN and its composite subsidiary JMV INDUSTRIES are proud to have taken part in this amazing challenge in building the hulls of Banque Populaire V in their Cherbourg facilities. This tour de force hoists Jean-Marie Vaur's shipyard among the best construction sites for composite constructions in the world. If JMV did not build the complete ship, the 40m hull and both 37m floats were realized in Cherbourg, thanks to the know-how of JMV. With a mast 47 meters long and a total width of 23 meters, the boat is a maxi oceanic trimaran, able to line up the records under the colours of the Banque Populaire.

CMN yachts closing down. Seems that this French yard will cease manufacturing yachts. The third sister to "Cloud 9" and "Slipstream" may likely be passed on to Nobiskrug to be finished as well as a 42.6-meter hull. Perhaps CMN will now concentrate on commercial and defense projects.
