We are delighted to be representing Swan of Thames on our brokerage selection of lovely Thames open launches. This 30 ft slipper stern launch from the famous Andrews of Bourne End is a splendid example of its genre and well known to ourselves and the present boatbuilder owner who maintained the boat for many years for its then owner Michael who is now sadly no longer with us to enjoy events like the Traditional Boat Festival where he was a regular.
The boat, built of mahogany on oak, bears the hull number 322 having left the yard in 1950. She measures 30ft with a generous beam of 5ft 11ins and sports seating for up to 7 guests including the skipper. As was traditional at the time there are 4 blue lloyd loom chairs and the aft bench with seat and back cushions for comfort. The boat is driven by a BMC navigator petrol engine. Included in the inventory is a folding canopy on a sliding rail, a full length cover, ensign, pennant and a chrome spotlight, paddle and boathook.
The current BSS certificate is valid until August 2024. Swan of Thames is available for immediate delivery having been fettled for the 2022 season. Viewing ashore in Hampton by appointment
