25' Windsor Slipper Launch Plans

For the Windsor slipper launch we have used the ply over frame method of construction using a modern framework of ply bulkheads and frames partly linked by fore and aft ply girders all set up to make sure that the builder starts with an accurate base on which to fit chine strangers and then the ply planking. There is no reason why she could not be built using the stitch and tape method and we can develop the hull panel shapes for this which would use the same framework used for the ply over frame method.

The hull could also be planked conventionally or Mahogany veneers can be put over the ply inner skin for those who want a varnish finish. Thin strips of Teak are applied over a ply under deck so that she can look like an original Thames slipper.

The cockpit is open and seating can be arranged to suit individual requirements or a fixed bench front seat can be fitted dividing the cockpit into two.

For simplicity the drawings show power delivered by a 2/5KW electric drive pod making installation very simple but for those wanting a more conventional inboard diesel arrangement we also give the engine installation drawings from the Kennet slipper launch for guidance.
