Since Geoff Shallard spent two years living in the basement with his Henley 18, his wife named the new boat SILENT MISTRESS. Geoff used balsa composite panels in the stitch-and-glue construction. She is powered by an electric outboard motor. Geoff calls the design "a marriage of a classic English river launch design with state of the art construction and propulsion."
