About CRN
In 1978, CRN made its first yacht over 45 meters, delivering the 47m Fath Al Khair for the Emir of Qatar. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, CRN's main clients were Middle Eastern or Greek, the Gulf War in the 1990s therefore had a big impact on the shipyard.
As a consequence, the company diversified to refitting and commercial ship construction. In 1999, the company was sold to the Ferretti Group. In 2013, CRN launched its 200th yacht, the 80m Chopi Chopi that became the yard's flagship.
The 30.2-meter Royal Huisman sailing yacht Foftein has been listed for sale with Manfred Haas of Haas International at an asking price of €8,500,000 with VAT paid.Built in aluminium and delivered in 1999, Foftein was designed by German Frers as a cutter-rigged yacht intended for bluewater cruising. She has had only two owners since new, the first being a yachtsman and marine photographer. The yacht underwent a significant refit in 2020 by Huisfit, Royal Huisman’s refit division, which included the installation of hybrid propulsion and updated systems.The refit allows Foftein to cruise silently for up to eight hours, regenerate power under sail, and meet advanced environmental standards. Her propulsion is provided by Volvo Penta 550hp engines, complemented by lithium-ion energy storage.The interior, designed by Pieter Beeldsnijder, features cherry wood panelling and accommodates six guests in a master suite and two twin cabins, all with en suite bathrooms. Crew quarters provide space for four in two cabins.On deck, Foftein has two cockpits: a centre cockpit leading to the deckhouse, and a private aft cockpit connected directly to the master suite. Her sailing capabilities are supported by a modern fast hull, aluminium mast and spars, and semi-automated sail handling systems.Currently cruising in the English Channel, Foftein is presented in what the broker describes as “exceptional, turn-key” condition.Credits: Yacht Harbour Archive
