CNB 76 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a CNB 76 means looking at a 76-foot Philippe Briand-designed deck-saloon sloop built from 2013 as Groupe Beneteau's flagship, with a modular interior and a production rather than custom pedigree. Ex-charter examples are common, and both private and charter layouts reflect the boat's documented separation of owner and crew zones. Buyers should weigh the known handling and build points against the equipment packages seen in the used fleet.
Layouts on the Used Market
Charter four-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available. The CNB 76's defining interior is a raised saloon dividing the owner's zone from the aft crew area, with the master cabin forward, two guest cabins with own heads, and a skipper's cabin aft to port. A longitudinal tender garage aft opens via a folding transom to a launch ramp. The galley sits aft under the cockpit with three fridges and a wine cooler, and the central saloon has a port dinette and starboard swiveling chairs. Natural light comes from hull windows, deck hatches, and wrap-around saloon glazing.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, watermakers, bow thrusters, electric winches, and short-handed setups are commonly fitted. Often seen are air conditioning, inverter, code zero, asymmetric spinnaker, furling main, freezer, bimini, swim platform, and dinghy davits. The builder's standard deck layout already uses four winches at the mast and twin electric sheet winches, with hydraulic Reckmann furling and bow and stern thrusters; an aluminium mast is standard, and a Hall Spars carbon mast was offered. A 3-metre taller performance rig was an option raising sail area six or seven per cent.
What to Inspect
The lack of control when backing under power from the twin rudders is a documented trait; verify thrusters and joystick function since these counteract the deficiency. A faster mastbase halyard winch would be beneficial when hoisting the larger furling sail, so check winch speed and sail-handling wear. The aft helms leave only thigh-level guardrails behind, and the central pushpit support was to be raised by the builder — inspect rail integrity and any modified pushpit. Confirm the engine room insulation, since the motor should be barely audible at cruising revs, and check the folding transom and tender garage for repeated launch-cycle wear.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the CNB 76 are France, Spain, Italy, the United States, Türkiye, and Croatia. When viewing, confirm the raised-saloon view while seated, the owner-crew separation, thruster and joystick response under power, winch condition for furling hoists, guardrail and pushpit state, and garage transom operation.
