The Slipper 17, designed by Nick Hake before he established the legendary Seaward Yachts brand, represents an early masterclass in the "pocket cruiser" category. Conceived in the late 1970s and primarily manufactured by Starwind (a division of Wellcraft Marine) during the early 1980s, the vessel was built to provide a high-quality, trailerable sailing experience that bridged the gap between a performance dinghy and a coastal cruiser. Its design reflects the same core philosophy found in the later Seaward Yachts lineage: a commitment to shallow-water accessibility, robust fiberglass construction, and a user-friendly layout that encourages spontaneous weekend voyages.
