SLIPPER
The design of SLIPPER draws inspiration from L.F. Herreshoff's renowned ROZINANTE. While she shares much of the elegance and performance of the ROZINANTE, SLIPPER offers more cruising accommodations and a larger, self-bailing cockpit. Small enough for spontaneous daysails and single-handed sailing, yet spacious enough for short overnight cruises, she strikes the perfect balance for anyone seeking a modern classic with classic sailing qualities.
Below deck, SLIPPER features three bunks, a galley equipped with a sink, ice chest, and single-burner stove, as well as a port-a-potty for convenience. Powering her is a 28hp Yammer engine with a 20-gallon fuel tank, providing ample power for efficient cruising. SLIPPER is a well-rounded yacht, ideal for those who appreciate spirited performance, good sailing manners, and a timeless traditional look.
