25ft Mick Sivewright Owl Class Narrowboat, Canal Boat, Project

1989 Mick Sivewright Little Owl Class 25ft Narrowboat Project **No Reserve** For auction is my lovely little Mick Sivewright Little Owl Class Narrowboat "The Partridge", currently moored on The Oxford Canal at the private Engine Arm Moorings at Adkins Lock, near Napton. New in 1989 to the Mon and Brec this little ship has done very little work and I brought it to the Oxford two years ago as its size means it can be moved about the country quite simply. It is powered by a very reliable and recently serviced 10hp Vetus Marine engine and has a BSC until 2020. It is C&RT licensed until May 2020. It was taken out of the water and blacked by Tooleys, Banbury, in 2017.

The little ship is very much a project, but is perfectly useable and live-in-able should you wish. There is a gas cooker, H&C water, dinette / sofa that can be made up in to a very decent sized bed, comfy chair, portapotti and lights. The mooring itself is a beautiful location at any time of year and is residential. It is paid until October and can be renewed with the land owner by separate negotiation with them. **SURVEY** The little ship was surveyed in 2017 and the report states that the hull WILL require work, hence the starting price for this ship to reflect this.

A copy of the survey is on drop box here - Please study this!! Https://www.dropbox.com/s/ruqh1v1a6h0adh2/The%20Partridge%20Little%20owl%20class.pdf? Dl=0 **Viewing** Viewing is available on this Wednesday 21st August and Saturday 24th August on the Napton Flight by prior appointment ONLY. Please respect that the mooring is private. **Bidding** Bidding starts at £1 to reflect the condition of the boat and the fact that it is very much a useable ongoing project and is being sold as such in good faith with no warranties given or appliances tested.

Please satisfy yourself as to the condition of the boat before you bid and please do ask any questions. The listing ends Sunday 25th, lunchtime, and the high bidder will be expected to secure the transaction by PayPal of bank transfer deposit of £200 immediately that the listing ends and the ownership transferred within 7 days. If you cannot do this, please do not bid. I will not accept bids from outside the UK or from bidders with little, negative or no recent feedback. Finally - It is sad to see my little ship go, but work constraints mean that I no longer have the time to see the project through and will be a great project for someone or indeed a tiny home.

Advertised elsewhere I reserve the right to end the listing early.
