Pazienza

Pazienza is an impressive 60ft masthead cutter constructed of teak planking on acacia frames with oak centre-line structure and teak deck, originally designed to accommodate just two people on comfortable cruises.

Laurent Giles and Partners described Pazienza as, "a good example of a comfortable shorthanded cruising boat with a first class performance under power yet able to take part successfully in ocean races".

It is for her interior planning, rather than her performance, however, that Pazienza was heralded as the product of a new tradition in yacht design when Cantiere Navale V. Beltrami built her in Genoa in 1957. The tradition developing in the early fifties was an increase in beam, space down below and modernisation of accommodation layout.

With the retention of the cockpit and helm, deckhouse amidships with the engine beneath it, there was no attempt to crowd space below decks with bunks, and thus the result is a yacht with enormous amounts of stowage space and living room desirable for a comfortable life on board. The deckhouse with large windows gives views in all directions, which together with skylights and portholes in the hull provide valuable sources of natural light.

As Douglas Hogarth so rightly observed in 1963, "There is no less need for taste in the interior of a yacht than in a mansion", ('Interior Design', Yachting World Annual, 1963).

After lying in Brighton for some time, Pazienza was taken to the second hand boat show where Martin and Vicky Jones came across her in late 2000. Attracted by her pedigree, and not put off by her neglect, a puchase was agreed. They set about recaulking the decks, sorting out the floors and replacing some 300 rivets. In their ownership Pazienza has cruised to the Carribean via Spain and Portugal, and then Antigua for the classic week in April 2002 and was first in class, Pazienza and Martin also came first in the single handed race.
