Laurent Giles seemed to achieve a seamless transition between #traditional and #modern styling - it is not surprising that PAZIENZA with her handsome sheer and understated English good looks was down to the last two nominees for the most beautiful boat in France in 2010. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/200/PAZIENZA In his design philosophy, Giles considered that a yacht should have ‘the utmost docility and sureness of manoeuvring at #sea in good or bad weather.’ Thus his boats were designed to maintain a steady course with minimal action by the #helmsman yet to respond instantly to the helm if the need arose. He identified 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. Yachting World in 1957 described her as ‘a large cutter into which a great deal of thought has been given to comfort and convenience.’ The current owner and family have successfully cruised and raced in #europe and the #caribbean and PAZIENZA is just one of those boats that once seen – she will always stay with you!

Video shows me sailing on a gentle downwind run on a starboard tack, performing a gybe, and then transitioning to a fast beam reach on a port tack.
