'Chin Chin' wins at the Thames Traditional Boat Rally 2017!

We are delighted that 'Chin Chin', a lovely pre-war 25ft Andrews Slipper Stern Launch belonging to one of our customers, has won the prestigious Andrews Trophy for 'restoration, maintenance & presentation', as well as the Dean Marine Trophy for 'engine installation & smooth running'.

This was 'Chin Chin's first appearance at the Thames Traditional Boat Rally after coming to Henwood & Dean this winter to have her Vetus diesel engine replaced with a reconditioned Morris Vedette more in keeping with the boat's history. As well as replacing the engine bearers we also undertook extensive structural repairs.
