New Model: Patrone 45 Open

Patrone presents the 45 Open, its new flagship and largest build to date which debuted at the 2024 Cannes boat show the past September.  The Patrone 45 Open takes over the mantle of flagship from the 42 which debuted in 2000 and follows the style the Italian Savona boat builder has given to the Ligurian Gozzo in the past decades adding to the latest evolution coming from the 100 model presented in 2022 which was also designed by Tommaso Spadolini.  Patrone has since the advent of the 42 Open in year 2000 also flavoured the usually cabin featured Ligurian Gozzo with more day open cruiser style.  For his second Patrone duty Spadolini follows the 45 Open with a similar style to the 100 but adds new elements as the open Targa integrated T-top, and unlike most of the competition in this segment presented a cabin cruiser spacious lower deck, but also a traditional cruiser which offers exterior stem to stern spaces for easy day usage.  On the other hand for Patrone Moreno the 45 Open solidifies its boutique boat builder and customization credentials offering nine different layout choices; six for the lower deck for one to three double cabin choices, and three for the main deck.  As an example the first Patrone 45 Open which was named Allegria meaning Happiness in English featured a three double cabins two head lower deck and a main deck with the CLounge layout with the forward looking C-shaped dinette.  The Patrone 45 Open presents a balance of comfort both inside and out, with the part T-top covered exterior offering an aft island type C-shaped dinette looking forward which does not disturb the walk around deck to aft, although in the other two versions this can be specified with a sun-pad plus dinette layout called Ysofa, or two L-shape lounges looking aft called LLchaiselounge.  Twin sets of double forward looking seats located in-front to the dinette continue the exterior deck layout, with the one to starboard featuring the helm station, while behind these seats is a wet-bar and exterior galley, joined by a free flush fore deck which also features an integrated sun-pad.  Powered by twin Yanmar 440hp with line shaft propulsion the Patrone 45 Open reaches top speeds up to 31 knots and a cruise of 23.

Project: Hinckley Picnic Boat 39

Hinckley take the down east traditional lobster boat concept and move it forward with the project for this upcoming Picnic Boat 39.  A completely new project the Picnic Boat 39 is not a new upper structure mold on the smaller 37 or bit larger 40, she is wider to the smaller and less wide to the bigger, with a hull which sports a pure deep-V deadrise of 22 degrees.  Classic as a Hinckley, the Picnic Boat 39 re-invents the spaces on the main deck, with an asymmetric layout which uses the space from fore to aft, with a corridor to port side, which takes guests to a forward C-shaped settee.  Something never seen on a down east boat till today.  Thinking you lost the space for this, not so much as the Picnic Boat 39 offers a similar lower deck to that of the Picnic Boat 40 minus the lower deck galley, with a double berth forward, and a shower head to starboard.  The Hinckley Picnic Boat 39 is to be powered by twin Volvo 480hp with Hamilton jet drives for speeds up to 36 knots and a cruise of 34.

Project: Rustler 41

 

Rustler was an unknown name to me, up until some months ago when I came across the rendering of this 41 project as designed by Tony Castro.  Doing some research I have found that Rustler was founded in the early eighties in Falmouth debuting with a 36 sailing boat, and today offers a seven model sail yacht range from 24 up 57.  The Rustler 41 is the Falmouth yacht builder debut in motor boating, with British designer Tony Castro presenting a two cabin lower deck layout with a living on the main deck.  The first unit is currently in build and is to be powered by twin Yanmar 320hp on shaft drives, with pod or outboard options also factored in the design for different customers requests.

The Dale Classic 45 is a special boat in the hearts of lovers for British made traditional down East inspired lobster cruisers.  Currently the team at Dale are over the moon as they are building Classic 45 hull number twelve, for a model which debuted in 2003.  With these numbers one understands that Dale is not your usual production builder and that every unit is made to order and very bespoke, by the lucky customer who ordered it.  Designed by Arthur Mursell the 2024 Dale Classic 45 will feature some new styling and state of the art innovations.  We still do not know all of these new features but Dale glimpsed us on the improved Classic 45; custom made console designed totally with owner input, aft wheel house patio door in teak with drop down bulkhead, and a new master suite dressing table with side lockers and drawers maximizing every available space.  Current flagship of Dale six model line up, the Classic 45 offers a two cabins two heads interior with a forward master suite, and is powered by twin 450hp engines as standard, with options going for up to 600hp units.  Propulsion is traditional straight line shaft with the standard engines giving up to 24 knots, and the optional 600s delivering thirty knots top speed to the semi-displacement hull form.

Project: Patrone 45

The best is about to get better as Patrone present the project for the 45, as designed by Tommaso Spadolini, the same designer who designed the really nice 100 which debuted in 2022. The Patrone 45 follows on the same footsteps of the 100 combining the sporting soul of the open with cabin comfort, in a unique traditional Ligurian Gozzo look. A mix created according to the excellent artisan quality that has defined Patrone for more than a century. Patrone new 45 is a fourteen-meter flagship, traditional in looks open cruiser designed for those who want to spend the whole day outdoors without sacrificing absolute comfort in the interiors. When designing the project of the 45, Patrone and Spadolini started from the concept of conviviality on board to re-interpret the classic charm of the Ligurian gozzo in modern key. The result is traditional cruiser  that is not affected by the short-lived trends of fashion and that can offer an absolute sense of space, inside and out, with a wide range of customization options. Three cockpit solutions and five interior layouts confirms Patrone tradition of “tailoring” each boat to the needs of its owner. At the same time, great attention was also paid to ensure it is seaworthy: the hull is an evolution form and is to be powered by twin Yanmar 440hp engines in a V-drive transmission.

New Model: Lyman-Morse Monhegan 42

Lyman-Morse recently launched the semi-custom Monhegan 42, the latest yacht from the long-standing and successful relationship between Lyman-Morse and C. Raymond Hunt Associates. Riding on Hunt’s time-tested deep-V hull design, the Monhegan 42 showcases Lyman-Morse’s proven method of creating series-built semi-custom cruisers and yachts. This allows owners to customize each boat to suit their needs within the existing design; and allows Lyman-Morse to provide many of the attributes of a custom yacht with far less lead time. The Monhegan 42’s power comes from twin Cummins 550-horsepower with traditional line shaft propulsion in tunnels for top speed up to 32 knots and a cruising of 28 knots.  As with every Lyman-Morse build, the Monhegan 42 combines traditional style with cutting-edge construction technology and modern amenities, such as Scrimp resin-infusion in the hull, which maximizes strength and reduces weight, Humphrey Interceptor trim tabs, and Side Power bow and stern thrusters.  The helm station of this third Lyman-Morse is custom to the owner’s specific needs, with oversized display screens. Accommodation below deck features a galley and dinette/lounge area for meal preperation and dining, a head with saparate shower staill, and primary stateroom forward. This owner wanted to be able to lie down on the settee and relax, so the team at Lyman incorporated a custom footwell into the layout to allow for optimal relaxation. Interior joinery is made from South American mahogany, with teak and wenge accents. The Monhegan 42 exemplifies Lyman-Morse’s unparalleled ability to produce bespoke, semi-custom boats that deliver unrivaled performance, safety, and convenience at sea.
