Hello, everyone!
Crus Yacht is about to embark on a new chapter, as Jean-Richard Minardi has stepped down from his position as head of Crus Yacht. This journey lasted a little over three years; amid takeover negotiations with Marco, Crus Yacht had been closed since 2012.
I’m very happy to have gotten the brand back on track and to have had the pleasure of developing the following for the Truc 12:
- A new mast
- A new boom
- A new mast base
- Two new rudders
- A new centerboard
- Four new sails, including two with camber and two without camber
- A complete refit of all the deck hardware
This great adventure is coming to an end, but other projects are on the horizon as all above product developpement remains under Roots Fittings and shall be used on the Crus Yacht Truc 12 in the future.
For more information, follow me, Roots Fittings, and H2O Sensations! I’m stopping my communications on Crus Yacht effective today and will forward the access codes to Marco if he’d like them.
Marco Crocci is taking over management in addition to hull production, based near Milan!
Fair winds to Crus Yacht—and I’m happy to have been part of its revival!
