Designer Philippe Briand has had a long and fruitful relationship with the CNB yard in Bordeaux, France, where this yacht, essentially a larger version of Briand’s 95-footer, is being built. The deck layout, particularly the after sections, has been designed for outdoor living, particularly when the yacht is anchored. The table, sofa, and banquettes can all be adjusted by remote control, and the bar and fridge are located on the same level as the main deck. The banquette can be adjusted from side to side when under way. Belowdecks there is a large owner’s cabin along with three good-sized guest cabins.
