During the 1930s, Andrews evolved the original slipper replacing the original straight bow and flat bottom with a hard chine and a deep 'V' bow, thus the Greyhound was created. Built to 25ft and 30ft, they seated between four and eight passengers and were powered by Austin and later BMC Vedette engines. Andrews continued building slipper launches until the 1970s.
“Swan of Thames” is a fine example of a 30ft Greyhound slipper. Although little of the history of this boat is know we do know she still has her original BMC Vendette engine and is in impeccable condition undergoing a refit in 2021, to get her back to the beauty she once was.
