Built in approx 1998 by Chas Harden Boats. Originally constructed from mild steel plating to a good standard of build, her hull is a conventional all welded hull method with top sides and upper shell to a good standard of construction. Above her waterline she has a clean lined typical river / narrowboat hull shape that includes radius bow entry which is well fabricated. Aft she has a cruiser counter finish. Her hull under the waterline she is not as typical as she features a double chine to a narrow base plate and a slim swim created from a wedge counter.

Fitted with a turn key Thorneycroft 4 Cylinder Diesel. This is an extremely accessible, maintainable and well presented engine bay which has been lovingly maintained in the best possible way. Continuation of this by her new owner would be strongly recommended.
Various 240 / mains double sockets with USB charging throughout, Contra water heater, Heatmiser thermostat, Invertor & Galvanic isolator fitted, 8 gang switch panel located behind stern door, Hurricane heater supplying 1x single radiator to starboard saloon, 2x double radiators to starboard hall & cabin. Charlton & Jenrick wood burner fitted (which is an absolute work of art & complies with all new BSC rules!)
A very thoughtfully laid out Galley sits mainly to her port side. Oak worktop with a belfast sink and brushed stainless steel mixer tap. Various drawers and cupboards to port and a built in (lovely!) pull out extra work surface. Again in line with the fantastic use of space throughout the boat. A continuation of matching tiles from her stove area surround the worktops for added protection and also surround the 4 burner gas hob. Oven & Grill below. Two hanging rails along with shelf storage surround her galley to port also. Fitted to starboard is a very cleverly thought out additional storage & prep area (Which also lines up with her sliding window for a fantastic breakfast spot!) which can be folded down when not in use. As photographed two deep shelves below and additional drawers.
Stepping down into her very bright and airy saloon you are immediately drawn to the beautiful wood burner which really is stunning. To port is a fold out foam based sateen futon in dark green, sateen is the ideal choice for such as it is so long lasting. With the added bonus that it fits perfectly under her gunwhale gaining extra floor space. Charlton & Jenrick wood burner fitted to starboard with decorative yet subtle tiles behind. Various shelving / picture ledges are placed strategically around so as not to minimise space, which is a lovely touch. Heating controls, thermometer, sockets and carbon monoxide alarm fitted to port.
Featuring plenty of storage space throughout and a full size double bed she offers a very comfy nights sleep, with bow doors which open at stable or full height (great for pets) into her bow area also containing more storage space. Two hanging wardrobes (although one does indeed contain her water heater) and several built in shelves offer even more storage. Holding tank located to port under bed. Double rad and various shelving to starboard tucked away neatly under gunwhale.
With all matching & high end fittings throughout the heads it only further compliments the rest of the vessel. A round ceramic wash hand basin with antique yet modern brass mixer tap, storage below. Stand in shower tray with a matching antique rainfall shower. Loo to port which gratefully faces the pièce de résistancence of her heads. The radiator! Handmade and beautifully done it finishes the heads off perfectly.
Fitted to her bows is a fantastic black vinyl with grey piping cratch cover which is in good condition. Regular cleaning and maintaining of this will ensure a long lifespan. Fitted to her stern is a foldable ‘wrap around’ matching black vinyl with grey piping canopy, this has the option to be used in full or to retain the enclosed stern for safety (perfect for those with children and pets!). Featuring bow and stern button fenders for those inevitable knocks and bumps along with inflatable fenders to port. Safety ring to roof. Grab rails to roof port & starboard. Flue for wood burner & outlet for water heater to roof. Welded boat hook holders to roof & wooden gang plank in situ.
