2 berth lovely boat suitable for liveaboard or holidays afloat.
Well thought out layout which maximises space. Designed for lots of natural light in the living space in the front saloon. If you are moored in a place of natural beauty you can sit and watch the view out of the windows to the front and both sides. Also great for guests / cabin crew when cruising.
Well insultated, so it's not too hot in Summer or too cold in Winter. Last winter the boat was toasty and warm just with an oil filled electric radiator kept on low. There is a new (unused) Valor Multifuel Stove (approx 5kw) in the living area if you need to add any extra heat in the depths of winter.
Roller blinds are fitted throughout on each of the 3 ft x 2 ft windows. (Brass effect, Full horizotal sliding windows). Hardwood beading throughout.

Built using marine steel: 12mm bottom, 6mm side and 4m top. The 12mm bottom (most narrowboats are built using a 10mm) was made of one complete section of steel, apart from a foot long section at the bow. The shell was built a number of years ago by Dave Bowman, Dewsbury. The boat has been a little over engineered with the thick base plate and the oversized internal ribs, and has really been built to last. It is fitted with four anodes to the bow and stern.
