Image description: Stern detail of the beautiful woodwork of a slipper launch - with dolphin-shaped windmill - moored at Henley-on-Thames, River Thames, Oxfordshire.
Lettering: 'Cheetah'
'Slipper launches' are so named because of their graceful sterns and low profiles. The windmill keeps waterfowl from perching on the boat's varnished woodwork.
