A tribute boat to celebrate 100 years of existence
Cantiere Navale Patrone Moreno was founded in 1922 by Giuseppe Patrone, who built his first rowing and sailing boats for hand fishing in the Ligurian tradition in Ceriale, in the province of Savona (Italy). To celebrate this first century of naval activity, the second generation of the Moreno family, who took over the shipyard in 1980, decided to create a new boat "Gozzo", heir to the emblematic models of the shipyard in the 60s.
The Patrone 100 takes its name both from the 100th anniversary of the shipyard and from the length of the vessel, which measures just over 10 meters overall. The design was entrusted to Tommaso Spadolini, who was responsible for the design of Gozzo d'Apreamare. It takes up the characteristics of the classic launches of the 60s and 70s with the timeless lines of the Gozzo of Liguria and the iconic models of the Patrone Boat yard, hence the choice of the designer to keep the delphinium. His design also blends modern elements with classic design.
An outboard version for customers
This daycruiser is designed on a hull derived from the other euro models, a sure value for the euro shipyard, and is available in an outboard version (2 engines). This type of motorization is new for the shipyard and dedicated to a new generation of boaters. The traditional inboard diesel engine is also in the catalog. It is in this version that the first model of Patrone 100 will be presented. With 2x250 hp, the manufacturer announces a maximum speed of 31 knots and a cruising speed of 24 knots. This information is not yet available for the outboard version. Always with the idea of seducing a new clientele, Patrone Boat has chosen to use ecological teak on the deck.
Comfort and relaxation in the open air
on the outside, we find this rear platform equipped with two side bathing ladders and a double closed access from the cockpit. As on the Gozzo, the transom is rounded. The cockpit offers a saloon opposite with a table that can be transformed into a second sunbathing area. Two pilot seats are protected by a large glass T-top and a curved windscreen that protects the spacious dashboard. A cooking plate is accessible under the folding pilot seats. The very large front deck can accommodate a large sunbathing area for 3 people. It is accessible from a few steps and well secured by a large balcony.
Two interior versions and several configurations
Below deck, the headroom varies from 1.78 to 1.86 m to provide a comfortable living space. Long hull windows should bring light to the interior. Two versions of layouts are possible, the Deluxe version for those who sail as a couple with privacy and comfort, and the Family version designed for families with a second cabin. A 2-meter long cabinet can accommodate a kitchenette below deck. A total of 7 interior configurations are offered to meet the needs of each owner.
"The Patrone 100 is inspired by the flagship models of the 60s and 70s giving new life to the dolce vita era of yachting. It is the materialization of the Patrone heritage created to satisfy the tastes and needs of contemporary owners." concludes Benedetta Moreno.
