Marine Classics built a few of these 20ft slipper launches, and this is the second 20 footer to pass through the hands of HSC. It is wider than a standard Thames 20ft slipper launch and has considerably more freeboard. The low-maintenance hull is built of robust marine ply coated in epoxy and painted white. The lining is of mahogany.

It is ideal for lakes and rivers and possibly even estuarial use, given the additional freeboard. With its two Lloyd loom chairs and the aft bench, it is a comfortable 4-seater and will cruise along at 5 knots with its 2 kW DC motor. A good trailer is included in the sale of this boat which can be viewed by appointment at Beale Park Boat Store.

Eleanor has had just two owners from new and comes with its builder's manual, EA river licence for 2023 and a current BSS certificate.
