You enter the boat through a swing door on either side of the centrally located wheelhouse/salon, where the headroom is 1.80m. Towards the stern, there is a salon/diner area, with a large built-in corner sofa (storage underneath) that can accommodate 6 people, complemented by two chairs, allowing seating for eight on the dining table which has two built-in, slide out extensions.

It contains the fuel and water tanks, domestic service batteries, battery charger, invertor, combi-boiler and water systems pressure tanks and filters. Additionally, it has an exceptionally large volume of easily accessible storage space for additional food/drink, out of season household items, luggage etc, etc. Our vendor tells us this space is the envy of every other boat owner you will meet along the canals!
Continuing forward, you descend into the main living area of the boat, which features an open plan fully equipped kitchen, and salon. The salon includes an office desk area, a feature Refleks ship’s stove and comfortable seating for five. This area also includes a water closet (toilet, sink, vanity) and a concealed utility area (full size separate Samsung washer and Miele tumble dryer).

The ceiling mounted 12 volt “Maxxfan” high volume circulation fan, 260mm equivalent fibreglass insulation and custom fitted exterior awning, cools the boat naturally and efficiently.
