Boat on the River Thames
A friend posted this pic online elsewhere, but didn't know the name of the style boat. It appears similar to a slipper launch, but the fore is considerably longer. Anyone have any idea what this boat is?

Huh - call THAT a slipper launch ?

Of course, the definition of a slipper launch is fairly vague!

LOL Well, I have to admit it doesn't even come close to your slipper launch.
