A blog reader asked us to post an article about this design. So here you go. This stunning beauty of a boat was built by James McGruer & Company, Ltd of Scotland. She is constructed of wood. The boat was launched in 1967. She was designed as a cruiser/racer and for short handled sailing by a couple.

The boat is now called Tintoo VI and is currently for sale. Click here to see her listing and various interior photographs. She is in mint condition.


Here are the plans.

Patricia III represents the third S&S design for a "well known Italian owner", whatever that means. There are notes in the files that his boats are to receive "no publicity" which probably explains why there are no images of these yachts.

His first yacht was a sister to Zinganee, design #1144, but built by Sangermani of Italy. She was named Patricia and launched in 1958. The second, also named Patricia and also built by Sangermai, was design #1642 and launched in 1963.

Patricia II was built by Sangermani and designed primarily for racing under the R.O.R.C. Rule. She was constructed of wood and launched in 1969. She looks like an extremely powerful, deep draft boat.

Here is the general arrangement plan.
