Almost an exact replica of the graceful Thames Launch built around 1910 by S.E. Saunders, the Patricia 32 is idyllic for gently cruising inland waterways, lakes and sheltered coastal waters. The Patricia's luxurious lines are reminiscent of boating in the Edwardian era, but she affords the benefits of a low maintenance hand laid glass reinforced plastic (GRP) hull without losing the feel of a vintage craft. The original design of the semi tunnel stern produces remarkable stability, shallow draft and creates little wash at relatively high speeds.

Each Patricia 32 has a hand crafted mahogany interior, the result of detailed collaboration between you the client, and ourselves, the boat builders. For that languid weekend, an optional solid teak or mahogany aft cabin, fitted with galley, toilet and dining table, can convert into a admirable double bedroom. A unique all year round family or corporate entertaining launch.

Electric: Patricia 32 would be fitted with a single installation of two 1.6 kW motors driven by a single propeller, as part of the easily maintained almost silent E-Drive system complete with battery pack, automatic charger, and all controlled via a single joystick variable speed solid state controller. Fully charged, the above motors will give up to seven hours cruising at normal speed.

Diesel: Patricia 32 would be fitted with a Yanmar 2GM20 (18 hp) or 3GM30 (27 hp) mounted amidships inside a sound insulated mahogany engine housing. The throttle and gearing are controlled by a dual action single lever. Optional extras include: Full or 2/3rds Canopy, Mahogany table, Tonneau cover, Navigation and Spot lights, Mahogany or teak wooden aft cabin.
