The Slipway Co-operative Ltd is a boat building and restoration company based at the Underfall Yard in Bristol, England.

The Co-operative was founded in 2002 by Win Cnoops, and the company undertakes the build of new, and repairs and restores timber yachts and motorboats[1]. Recent work has included the refit of Uffa Fox's 45ft The Huff of Arklow, the world's first ocean going yacht designed with a fin and skeg[2], and the 35ft Vigilant built in 1930[3].
