After the anouncement of last april (see our article) of the French shipyard facing troubles, here’s a more positive news: Mr. Fabrice Vial, Founder and Chairman of the industrial Group VIAL, takes over the reins of Couach Shipyard, the French luxury yacht and Military Patrol Boats manufacturer, now called CNC.

The new business first priority is to complete the two 50m and two 37m luxury yachts, already under construction, and scheduled for a delivery to their owner in 2010.
