CNB 100 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a CNB 100 means engaging with a 30.5-meter custom carbon composite yacht delivered in 2009 by Construction Navale Bordeaux, with exterior design by Luca Brenta and interiors by Wetzels Brown Partners. These are rare, individually specified yachts rather than a production series, so the used-market picture is built from owner layouts and the equipment fitted over a sailing life that included a twin generators from 2016 upgrade.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available; ex-charter examples are common. The CNB 100's interior by Wetzels Brown Partners earned the 2009 award for best interior, and the documented Gaggenau galley with Miele appliances indicates the owner-version fit-out prioritized full-home capability. A tender garage is part of the structure, and the 78-panel glass coachroof defines the saloon volume regardless of cabin count.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, teak decks, a hardtop, inverter, air conditioning, watermaker, asymmetric spinnaker, bow thruster, electric winches, freezer, hot water, washing machine, swim platform, radar, AIS, autopilot, chartplotter, life raft, and short handed setup are commonly fitted. The CNB 100 as documented carries titanium deck hardware, titanium steering wheels, a carbon fibre removable hard top, carbon fibre cockpit hard-top, hydraulic winches, hydraulic operated transom, recessed anchor, sills locker, B&G electronics, Apple TV, and twin generators from 2016. No items in the often-seen or sometimes-or-owner-upgrade tiers are recorded for this model, so equipment expectations should rest on the commonly fitted list and the as-documented factory spec.
What to Inspect
The sourced record on the CNB 100 contains no survey-derived defect list, no structural recall, and no owner-reported systemic failure. The only dated change is the addition of twin generators in 2016, an upgrade rather than a correction. Inspection should therefore focus on the carbon composite hull and deck for impact or delamination, the hydraulic systems (mainsail magic trim, winches, transom) for service history, and the titanium hardware for fatigue at fixings — but no documented known issue mandates a specific targeted check beyond normal carbon-yacht and hydraulic survey practice.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the CNB 100 are Italy, Greece, and the United Kingdom. For a buyer, the takeaway is straightforward:
- Confirm which layout is offered — owner three-cabin is more common, but other versions exist; ex-charter examples are common.
- Verify the 2016 twin-generator upgrade and review all hydraulic system logs.
- Survey the carbon composite hull and deck independently; no published defect history exists.
- Expect commonly fitted cruising equipment rather than bare-boat spec.
