Launching 'Patience' a 27' Luxury yacht tender Feb. 2024
A big congratulations to Jim Moores and his team for completing construction on by far the most complicated design project we have undertaken to date. Jim came to B&B with a dream boat in mind and we had a lot of fun working with him. Patience is a 27' luxury motor launch that is unique in every way. She features a modern hull shape combined with a classic Hereshoff stern and a "Dreadnought" bow. Without doubt the most complex shaped hull we've worked on. She should really turn heads at the Antique and Classic boat show in Florida. As usual, she floated right on her lines and we look forward to seeing her prowl the waters in the future.
Core Sound 20 'Dawn Patrol' starts her fifth Everglades Challenge and tries to stay ahead of the EC-22 which was chartered. This year the event was prematurely cancelled by the CG. Some still went on to have a vacation down the coast.
The start of the race in 2015 featured some rough conditions and a few boats capsized. Reports of capsized boats in Tampa bay prompted a CG response and when they saw the magnitude of boats in the bay and more than a handful seemed to be struggling they realized there was an event taking place and told us to cancel the event. Before this year, a permit for the event was not thought to be needed but afterward the CG have asked us to get a permit. The only conditions of the permit thus far have been that we do not launch if there is a small craft advisory for the area and that we have a certain number of support boats in the water at the start to help anyone who may flip in the navigation channel (a major channel). Both very reasonable. I would classify the CG feeling toward the water-tribe in general as "very positive". We like the CG and they like us because we are in general a very prepared and skilled group.

Matt gets his boat out on the water with the new mast float to test if it has enough flotation to keep the boat from going turtle. Success!
