CNB 66

Aela is probably the best CNB 66 on the planet!
She was launched from the CNB factory in Bordeaux, France in early 2018 (Hull # 4) and shipped to New Zealand. She has always been professionally maintained by full time crew and her presentation
is better than a new boat. She is based in Auckland, New Zealand and ready for her next
adventurous owners.
Aela has cruised around New Zealand and the Pacific and served her owners and crew well, proving this Briand designed 66-footer is a perfect long-range, blue Water sailing yacht. CNB set out to create a safe and fast yacht with excellent finishes, high quality equipment and ease of handling.
No expense has been spared to keep this yacht in pristine condition and the owners and crew
completed an extensive Upgrade refit in early 2020.

List of works carried out available upon request.
