PATIENCE - CUSTOM FOR SALE

PATIENCE is the embodiment of a lifelong yachting vision. For nearly six decades, James Moores of Moores Marine imagined a functional, hardworking work of art that would glide past with such grace and charisma it would capture every heart along its wake.

PATIENCE by Moores Yachts is a remarkably adaptable small yacht—equally at home as a classic runabout, luxury tender, or thrilling dayboat—capable of surging past 35 mph with poise. Her light-footed agility astonishes, carving with the precision of an exotic sports car, while her presence alone can stop conversations on the dock.

Moores devoted 45 years to restoring and rebuilding iconic wooden motor yachts, from the presidential Honey Fitz to more Trumpy yachts than anyone else alive. His dream was a cold‑molded, wooden yacht that married the romance of the golden age of yachting with today’s high‑tech marine engineering, creating a modern classic that delivers true performance.

This yacht salutes the great pre‑war designers. The elegant ducktail aft echoes John H. Wells and his famed fast commuters, the transom carries the spirit of L. Francis Herreshoff, and the powerful bow nods to the purposeful lines of WWI capital ships. The result is a luxury motor yacht with timeless styling and contemporary capability—an heirloom-quality express cruiser with unmistakable pedigree.

Beneath her vintage silhouette lies a thoroughly modern planing hull refined by B&B Yacht Design in North Carolina to run in the 35 mph range. With the lightest touch, PATIENCE lifts and settles into an effortless groove, then spins within half her waterline length—maneuverability few 27‑footers can match. At speed she skims with composure, tracking like a favorite sports machine while maintaining the confidence and seaworthiness of a serious commuter.

The PATIENCE M27 is crafted for those who appreciate elegance, distinctive lines, and authentic craftsmanship, yet demand a civilized, high‑performing yacht. As a superyacht tender, day cruiser, or weekend sport yacht, she blends classic yacht charm with contemporary reliability, delivering comfort, flair, and excitement in equal measure.

This is not a relic of yesterday, but a wooden boat built for tomorrow—an enduring statement piece meant to be cherished for generations.

Additional

PATIENCE presents a cold-molded hull married to a composite deck, all finished in flawless custom AwlGrip Paint with brightwork sealed under Captains Varnish plus an epoxy finish. Hand-selected teak caprails and custom-cut teak cockpit decking elevate the craftsmanship, while a 316 stainless-steel rubrail underscores durability and elegance. Below the waterline, protection is completed with Petit bottom paint, and self-bailing scuppers ensure the cockpit remains dry and ready.

Helm authority comes from a custom hydraulic steering system complemented by a custom stainless-steel steering wheel with a “suicide knob” for precise low-speed control, aided by a bow thruster with joystick. A custom-designed windscreen shelters the helm, custom lighting enlivens the cockpit, and stainless-steel pop-up navigation lights preserve the yacht’s clean profile when stowed. A custom combination stern light and flag staff, together with a bow burgee staff, add classic nautical detail to the silhouette. Inside, custom high-end upholstery and full safety equipment complete the experience with comfort and peace of mind.

Navigation and monitoring are intuitive and reliable with a Garmin Echo Map Plus 44CV G3 and analog-type readouts for temperature, tachometer, voltmeter, and oil pressure. Custom Dolphin stainless-steel, gold-trim dash gauges add a jewel-like finish, while engine alarms warn of low oil and high temperature to safeguard the machinery.

Sound levels are kept hushed by a heavy-duty sound-insulated engine compartment, and power is managed by two 8D batteries with a battery selector switch for dependable starts and redundancy. In every respect, PATIENCE is turnkey and ready to go, with a trailer available as an optional purchase.
