Project follow-up – « Only Now » German Frers 104 feet

In 2001 and 2002, I followed the construction of the CNB 104′ Only Now designed by German Frers, on behalf of the owner and the CNB shipyard. If building the boat was a technological challenge, it was also one for me, as it was the very first years of digital photography… The first images were captured with a Sony camera using a floppy disk! Then came better cameras…
The photos were used to produce a book

When Only Now left CNB she was hull # 43. With more than 50 yachts built at that time, Only Now will remain the one that makes our hearts leap. She is one of the most beautiful yachts built by CNB and with good reason.The Only Now project is founded on technology, techniques and esthetics. Evidenced by the hull and deck which at the time of their construction represented the two largest carbon/vinylester/balsa sandwich structures ever manufactured using the infusion process and the canting keel with a bulb weighing more than 22 tons was also the largest ever mounted.But these technological challenges are only interesting because they serve the architectural quality of this magnificent yacht. German Frers (Only Now is his 7th boat built at CNB) has designed a hull shape, deck plan and rig that leaves one admirative of its apparent simplicity, a design so evident that is becomes the result.
