E30 Endurance

A new era for the Cranchi Yachts Endurance line

The E30 Endurance is a walkaround with inboard engine that has modernised the concept and design of the legendary Endurance line. It originated in the 1980s and, since then, has been constantly upgraded to ensure it’s always at the forefront of innovation in its field.

Today, the new E30 Endurance offers softer lines and new details, enhancing its practicality and elegance. The stern deck is entirely teak clad and a whole 70 cm have been added to it. The ladders used for access on board from the water includes integrated handles, and the bollards on either side of the boat are retractable. The seats, sofas and navigation dashboard have been renovated for a sportier, more vintage look.

The sun decks on either side of the boat have also been redesigned, and made more comfortable, also thanks to the added cup holders and integrated loudspeakers. The table used for the large C-shaped sofa in the cockpit can be lowered thanks to an hydraulic servomechanism, to transform the seating area into another sun deck which is protected from the edges to make it extra safe, especially for children.

The entire cock-pit area is shaded using a micropore cover, available on request, which can be easily assembled with supporting pillars made of carbon fibres: super light and totally elegant.

The E30 is designed to make it easier to hook up your electronic devices, as you can see from the watertight USB sockets in the navigating area and cockpit and from the practical, universal wireless smartphone charger located in the navigating bridge.

Optimal nautical performance and easy movement on board, from stern to bow, are guaranteed.

The height of the internal spaces, level of comfort and the extremely elegant choices of decor make this yacht ideal for a cruise of one or more days.

Sessantasette 67 Corsa

Discover the first model of the new "Corsa" line: the sportbridge with an Italian character

Corsa , meaning race or running, is a word which has more affinity with freedom than with speed. It indicates a spontaneous way of moving and expressing oneself, a liberating act, the natural search for endorphins and pleasure, the desire to let oneself become drunk with passion, the moment and the outdoors.

The Sessantasette 67 ft Corsa is clearly derived from the Sessantasette 67 ft, the flybridge yacht which the Shipyard unveiled in 2022. The differences between the two models are immediately evident, however, if you compare the two profiles. The superstructure of the Corsa is significantly lighter: the third deck indeed takes on the typical sportbridge layout: an elegant mini-fly without t-top. This creates sleeker lines , giving the yacht a sporty character. The pulpit which juts out further compared to the flybridge model and the red colour accents which set the new model apart help reinforce this sensation. 

The portion of the cockpit sheltered by the upper deck is deep  and  completely open at the stern  to offer a view of the sea or marina free of obstructions. To the sides, two large windows with electric opening provide interplays of light and shadow which are extremely evocative and contribute to the natural ventilation of the area. In order to make this area – served by an extending table, a C-shaped couch and dinette with cooker, refrigerator, icemaker and retractable TV – as liveable as possible, there are also cooling vents for use at the hottest time of the day. Further to the stern, beyond the part covered by the flybridge, is a large sunbed with cushions at the same height as the sofas, to ensure the same uninterrupted view of the sea. For the same reason, the sunbed does not have a fixed backrest, but rather removable cushions which allow the part of the sunbed facing the cockpit to be used as a further seat, served by an original removable pivoting table.

The interior of the main deck is designed as an open space, nevertheless with three distinct areas: the living area with dinette, retractable TV, freestanding sofa and coffee table; the perfectly equipped galley ; and the wheelhouse . The living area leads onto the stern outdoor seating area via an elegant glass door, while to starboard, at the level of the control panel, is a door which provides access to the gangways. This door, along with the fully opening door on the side of the galley and the electrically opening upwind companionway hatch, ensure excellent natural ventilation of the interior, as well.

The owner’s cabin is full beam, with double bed in a central position. In addition to the walk-in wardrobe , the suite has ample space for a sitting area with armchairs and coffee table (also ideal as a beauty corner ), and a large bathroom designed with three distinct areas: the toilet and shower are, in fact, in separate rooms from the bathroom with its two washbasins. The latter, where light plays on smoked glass, is a continuation of the suite. In the three-cabin layout option, the owner's suite also has an office area which faces outwards on one side, to make the most of the natural light, and has a full-wall mirror on the opposite wall to further extend the perception of the space. The VIP cabin and guest cabin are also extremely spacious, both with their own bathroom and double bed. As an alternative to the office area connected to the owner's suite, you can opt for a fourth cabin with bunk beds .

Looking for the flybridge version?

Here is the new yacht that will enrich the Cranchi flybridge range. With a length over all that exceeds 67 feet (20.8 meters), the new model is called Sessantasette, like the number, written in full and in Italian.

Settantotto 78

A new dimension of beauty

The 25 metre Settantotto is a grand exhibit, crafted with the utmost attention to detail; a concept of beauty that is both modern and classic, essential but not minimal…timeless. She has a fluid form without distinct edges, conveying a natural sense of balance. The design choices by Christian Grande - who worked closely with the Shipbuilding Research Centre- are not excessive, forced or aggressive. Yet this model exhibits the power that you can expect from any flagship. Her smooth and muscular forms are equipped to take on the sea in any condition: the perfect hull, a tall and splaying bow, and a pronounced gunwale.

Also, the expressive combination of colours used for the structure and superstructure, the latter being visibly lighter, has enhanced the yacht’s sleek and sinuous forms and  the feeling of sheer amazement when you discover the spacious environments and generous volumes dedicated to the internal areas , filled with natural light, as can be seen from the symmetrical subtractions in the hull, on the main and lower decks.

Let yourself be inspired by the personalized colour combinations designed for Cranchi Settantotto and discover how authentic luxury is nothing more than the most immediate expression of your desires.

As a form of attention to the owners, Cranchi Yachts asked Christian Grande, an internationally renowned designer and art director of the Settantotto, to create the colour palettes that could best enhance the stylistic choices of the yacht. Thus were born three sets of proposals, declined in eleven versions, all fascinating and with absolute elegance but capable of expressing different moods. Each owner will be able to find the combination most in tune with his tastes or start from these suggestions to imagine his ideal palette. The version with Panama Supremo-coloured hull and gloss black T-Top  is shown in these photos.

Freedom without boundaries

The main deck and fly comprise large open spaces with dedicated areas for socialising and relaxing, from bow to stern. There is also an adjoining beach platform which can be accessed safely and easily. The beach deck includes a lift which can be raised, lowered or moved forward. The deck can also be transformed into an immense terrace overlooking the sea, thanks to the extra surface area provided by the teak clad garage. The garage storage compartment comprises a large space for tender and a jet ski which can be separated from the area closest to the beach used for the chaise longues.

Abundant space, elegance and functionality are also features of the square deck where the kitchen, living room and relaxation area are distributed optimally. There is also an extra bathroom on the main deck, an unusual component for a yacht of this size.

The decor presented on this page is one of the five interior design proposals conceived for the Settantotto by Christian Grande, in collaboration with the  Cranchi Research and Development Department. Inspired by the city of Venice, this decor stands out for its surprising accents: orange leather and lacquers, warm-toned marbles, mirrored glass with amber reflections and a lively contrast between glossy and matte surfaces.

Discover the other moods proposed for the Settantotto, they can be the ideal starting point for all your personalization requests.

Discover the details and images of the new decor created by Christian Grande to make the Cranchi Yachts flagship even more unique.

Light glossy lacquer with black edges, oak floors combined with the light oak of the vertical surfaces, bright marbles and dove gray fabrics.

The elegant fabrics used for the vertical surfaces recall the tones of the Italian lands while the striped marbles give an unmistakable classic touch to the rooms.

A contemporary and harmonious decor characterised by the burnished metals in which aluminum and steel with nickel effect shine with style.

Your new comfort zone

The layout below deck comprises four en-suite cabins: three large doubles and one twin bed. All the beds are positioned lengthways along the bow-stern axis to guarantee maximum comfort while you rest. The rooms are furnished in a refined and elegant style. The full beam owner’s cabin is located at the heart of the yacht with a walk in wardrobe, small study or ‘beauty corner’, making it feel like a luxury suite. Sophisticated elegance and maximum comfort are distinguishing features of the bow VIP cabin. The cabin used mainly for storing equipment is also comfortable, equipped with twin beds and a separate bathroom and shower. The seaman’s cabin, which can be accessed separately with respect to other areas of the yacht, is also used as a laundry room and includes a washing machine and tumble dryer. This room is located between the engine room and the owner’s cabin to ensure maximum acoustic comfort in the sleeping quarters thanks to the high quality sound insulating bulkheads.

In perfect harmony with the choices of art direction, the Settantotto is furnished with elements of the Flexform collections, an historic and dynamic Made in Italy furniture brand.

To make your experience on board even more enjoyable and comfortable, each area is equipped with an entertainment and home automation system , which you can control easily from your smartphone or the navigation panel thanks to the Garmin glass cockpit, providing easy access to all systems.

Insulation and sound damping systems have been implemented in all areas of the yacht, with special attention to the machine room. This space has been designed with meticulous attention to detail, including design choices that facilitate access, mobility, maintenance activities and especially safety. The layout and choices of materials have also been carefully determined, prioritising stainless steel and aluminium and fibreglass fuel reserve tanks to ensure no leakage and infiltration can occur.

The machine room houses three straight six-cylinder Volvo Penta D13 each of which can reach 1000 HP when necessary. Along with IPS3 pods, these create a compact, trustworthy and manageable solution, ideal for a yacht of this size.

The machine room also houses two generators: a solution implemented to increase efficiency, reduce fuel consumption as well as the likelihood of breaking down.

All the systems on board, including the fire-prevention system, represent the state-of-the-art in the nautical industry’s technology and are designed and installed in a way that facilitates their maintenance.

The Humphree system is another unrivalled design, guaranteeing stability and ideal configuration while sailing and in port, comprising stabilising carbon fins, an interceptor blade and an electronic control unit for immediate and effective configuration corrections.

Sessantasette 67

Next generation flybridge 

 Here is the new yacht that will enrich the Cranchi flybridge range. With a length over all that exceeds 67 feet (20.8 meters), the new model is called Sessantasette, like the number, written in full and in Italian. It is the same principle for which the shipyard's flagship is called Settantotto, meaning that this yacht gives much more than its length might suggest . It offers the best of Made in Italy design and style, superior technical solutions and an unmistakable and already iconic line.

The family feeling linking it with the Settantotto is immediately obvious: it has the same sleek profile, splaying bow and pronounced high and protective gunwale, giving the yacht a naval allure . The project was a collaboration between the Cranchi Yachts Research Development Department and Christian Grande, entrusted with the art direction aspect. The lines and shape that characterise this yacht are emblematic, complementing and echoing each other throughout the various elements of the profile. One example is the line extending from the curve of the stern hatch to the part of the fly that juts out, or between the outline of the windows and the break in the centre of the bulwark. This break provides an elegant reduction in volume on the side of the yacht, from the gunwale to the stringer, enhancing the panoramic view from the large windows that surround the saloon. The dining room will have an uninterrupted view of the sea, with nothing to obstruct natural light from flooding the internal space.

"The break in the bulwark also has a precise graphic form, mirrored by the windows below deck. This is one of the design cues that make the yacht's profile a stand-out feature of the new model and Cranchi Yachts' new flybridge line." says Christian Grande. "When you work on projects for this historic brand though, you never stop at style alone; t he people who choose yachts from this shipyard are very knowledgeable and look for practicality and value in addition to aesthetics ."

That's why many of the Sessantasette's key attributes can only be discovered by climbing aboard and experiencing them first hand. Prepare to be amazed as spaces and surfaces seem to expand and multiply.

This feeling emerges most of all in the saloon - a refined living area, elevated by furnishings that lend a strong personality . Owners will be able to choose a sofa (measuring over two metres) from a selection offered by leading design houses. The square dining table with rounded corners comes with a choice of a bronze smoked glass or imperial grey marble top, and can be surrounded by eight chairs or armchairs. The other furniture and accessories have a contemporary and luxury finish, including a bookcase, a cabinet with retractable TV and an elegant sideboard equipped with wine storage.

The saloon is part of an open space area that also includes the galley and wheelhouse , but the whole zone is elegantly divided by a spectacular backdrop that separates the lounge and dining room from the service areas. The galley is fully equipped and it's located on the port side, with the wheelhouse on the right. Both spaces have been conceived as capsules linked with the other spaces , but which can also remain separate. Like the saloon, these two areas have excellent ventilation too: there's a fully opening galley side window, a door on the right connecting the pilot station to the gangway, and finally the upwind companionway hatch in the centre, which opens with an electric mechanism.

The main door to the side is not the only superyacht feature on the Sessantasette's wheelhouse. The pilot station is placed centrally for an optimal view , and the large comfortable captain's chair is flanked by a twin seat to make this space welcoming and sociable. Needless to say, the navigation panel is ahead of its time and equipped with the very best that electronics can offer today, allowing you to manoeuvre the boat and manage all home automation and entertainment systems with ease . The staircase leading to the lower deck opens up in front of the pilot station. The staircase itself is a design feature taken from the original project. Its lines, form and light points give a hint of the magic that awaits on the deck housing the cabins.

Space and volume appear to expand below deck as well, particularly in the full-beam owner's cabin . The double bed is centrally placed and features a slightly curved headboard that draws around to embrace, enclose and lend an air of luxury, as does the original glossy leather upholstery applied with a sophisticated pleated effect. In addition to the walk-in wardrobe , the suite has ample space for a sitting area with armchairs and coffee table (also ideal as a beauty corner ), and a large bathroom designed with three distinct areas : the toilet and shower are, in fact, in separate rooms from the bathroom with its two washbasins. The latter, where light plays on smoked glass, is a continuation of the suite. In the three-cabin layout option, the owner's suite also has an office area which faces outwards on one side, to make the most of the natural light, and has a full-wall mirror on the opposite wall to further extend the perception of the space. The VIP cabin and guest cabin are extremely spacious, both with their own bathroom and double bed . As an alternative to the office area connected to the owner's suite, you can opt for a fourth cabin with bunk beds .

The warm tone and relaxed elegance of the interiors is also conveyed by the décor choices based on light shades, with blonde woods and sand-coloured leather, and predominantly opaque surfaces that are easy on the eye. Imperial grey marble embellishes the bathrooms, while dark and polished features such as flamed woods or mocha-coloured leather appear both in the cabins and saloon, creating accents and focal points that lend movement and variety to the spaces.

The spaces below deck echo the pleasant and constant feeling of freedom already noted in the saloon, and which is obviously even more pronounced in the outdoor areas.

The cockpit is bordered in the stern with a large seating area which can be further extended with two armchairs or more and a low table, creating a lounge area that's perfect for relaxing and welcoming guests as they come on board. Alternatively, if you prefer to use this part of the boat as a terrace, you can choose to add another 6/8-person dining table : the stern sofa is the perfect height for this set-up too.

The stand-out feature of the cockpit is the spectacular staircase leading to the flybridge . It's a space that lends itself to being used at any time of the day, whether your "mission" is to sail, have lunch, enjoy a drink or relax.

Carry on up the staircase and you reach the third deck living area . This superbly equipped area features a wet bar or kitchenette, a TV cabinet and an elegant dinette with an extendable table surrounded by comfortable seating. The whole area is sheltered by a high-tech, lightweight and durable T-top ; part of the roof opens with a slat system, creating slivers of suggestive light and shadow that evoke the iconic beauty of Mediterranean pergolas.

Forward on the right side is the fly pilot station , where you can enjoy the best views from the yacht and fully savour the charm of sea travel. The dashboard is futuristic, minimal and extremely elegant , with aesthetics and features borrowed from the automotive sector. It ensures easy access to all the commands - with the latest technology (dock sense) - necessary for yacht navigation, control and management. The wheelhouse has a large double-seat armchair and there's also another double armchair on the port side, enabling the sailing moment to be turned into a social activity and at the same time creating a sort of linear border between the control area and the living area behind it.

In the stern, usually the most pleasantly ventilated area of ​​the yacht, there's a large open terrace providing space for all your needs and offering the shade of a bimini. Equipped with a shower, it's ideal as a sundeck with two sunbeds or chaise longues.

Back down on the main deck, two large and safe symmetrical walkways to the right and left of the deckhouse, protected by a high gunwale, lead to the innovative open-air living space created in the bow of the main deck . In addition to the large sundeck with adjustable backrest, this area offers a real living room set-up with a sofa (in the sailing direction) and two facing armchairs with pivoting tables. To further improve the level of practicality and comfort, space has also been made for ever-useful lockers, a mini-fridge and a shower.

In the stern, a large door - which continues the look of the cockpit sofa - opens onto the beach area which can be reached safely and easily, and be comfortably fitted out with chaise longues . Equipped with a lift that allows it to rise, lower and move forward, the pilot station can be transformed into an immense terrace overlooking the sea, thanks to the extraordinary surface area provided by the teak-clad garage compartment. Opening the compartment door, the hangar is revealed. It's so spacious that it can accommodate a tender of 3.25 metres (or even longer if equipped with a rapid inflation/deflation system on the front section) .

The seamen's quarters are also in the area below the cockpit, fitted out with two separate beds (not bunk beds) and a bathroom with shower. A double bed can be installed in the crew cabin, upon request. Access to the engine room, a true treasure trove of technology , is from the side of the deckhouse to ensure greater privacy for guests.

Following on from the experience gained with the Settantotto, the new Sessantasette also features extraordinary technology including an advanced home automation system combined with entertainment devices, and most importantly a wealth of hi-tech materials . Cranchi Yachts has taken the use of carbon, aramid and other hi-tech fibres to a level never before seen in the yachting sector. The shipyard has developed a matrix of resins and fibres suitable, in terms of directionality and malleability, for the needs of the nautical industry and able to withstand the type of stress to which a boat is subjected, thereby improving the resistance and performance of the hull and other structures while at the same time obtaining a lighter vessel. Weight reduction was one of the most crucial aims in the design of the Sessantasette, leading to the decision to use carbon fibre in many parts of the boat including the hull, internal decking, T-top and the swimming platform. A lighter weight has a clear value in terms of sustainability, allowing for limited fuel consumption with the same performance level. The use of hi-tech fibres also makes it possible to reduce the use of vinyl resins, further improving the yacht's environmental footprint. In its research work into the use of carbon fibre, Cranchi Yachts took inspiration from the automotive and aerospace sectors, taking interesting ideas and reworking them to meet its own needs. The same holds true for many of the other features too, including the paints, the adhesive fixatives that avoid the need for screws or rivets and thereby reduce vibration, the soundproofing and sound-absorbing materials, and the barriers that dampen noise and vibrations, ensuring unrivalled acoustic qualities for a motor yacht in this segment. Here too, the Sessantasette offers far more than its size suggests.

Three different moods to make the new Cranchi Yachts flybridge even closer to your desires: discover the decor selected by Christian Grande.

Be inspired by the custom colour combinations designed for Cranchi Sessantasette 67 ft.

Thanks to the close collaboration between Cranchi Yachts and Raymarine, the new Sessantasette 67 ft has the most modern systems for home automation and intelligent navigation.

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
