Sophie Helene is a beautiful example of a 1952 Andrews 25 Slipper Launch. Andrews Boathouses build new slipper launches to the original design, handcrafted and customised to the customer’s specification.

 

We carefully select and acquire old slipper launches that we then put through our rigorous restoration process.

 

From the keel up we restore the hull using the best woods and modern caulking to ensure the integrity of the hull. The hull is made sound and painted in the new owner’s choice of colour and, of course, the trademark blue and gold pinstripe is always added before finally finished.

 

Once fully restored we spend over a month applying up to 16 coats of Awlwood varnish to the deck to ensure that its preserved against the rigors of exposure to the elements. Each coat is applied then sanded smooth before the next coat is applied to get that deep lustrous look that defines boats of this era.

 

She is ready for immediate enjoyment just in time for the boating season and comes complete with its own four-wheel trailer.
