32ft Springer Narrow Boat Butty

Glaslyn is a sturdy, comfortable boat from Springer Engineering. Built in 1982, she has served as both an all-season live-aboard and a weekend holiday boat. She was purchased last year with the intention to make it our own and live aboard but we are forced to sell her due to unforeseen ill-health. Currently she is out of water and dry docked at a marina on Faversham Creek in Kent; just over one hour from central London by train. Iron Wharf is essentially a ‘do it yourself’ boatyard where boat owners can undertake all kinds of boat building projects, large and small.

The DIY boatyard offers spacious storage ashore or mud berths and moorings alongside a traditional wharf, in a beautiful countryside setting, whilst being just a short walk from all amenities of the charming medieval market town of Faversham in Kent. 
Thanks to renovations by a former owner, she has a spacious, bright and modern interior. A good layout provides room to live and work at home, if needed, as well as plenty of storage. Glaslyn is being sold fully equipped with all the basic necessities. Substantial maintenance work was completed in 2011, including full waterline re-plating, skin fitting for deck drains and wastes, re-installation of a Valor solid fuel stove, and electrical refit; there are landline sockets and LED lighting fitted throughout.

She is a trouble-free boat, cosy in winter and in summer's unfolding, light and airy. 

 - Galley -Stepping down into the boat, the galley spans the centre aisle. A Morco D61B gas boiler provides hot water instantly. A Vannette gas cooker has four ring hobs and the grill/oven is a Spinflo Midi Prima MKIII. All gas appliances are in excellent working order.

A 12 volt cool box may be plugged in for chilled goods. The sink and worktop were fitted by the former owner; the large water tank is forward and the water pump is also in excellent working order. - Saloon -There is a double bed at the fore end of a centre aisle, followed by open areas on either side (currently filled with books). A fold-down desk is under the starboard side hatch, opposite from the solid fuel stove (tile-lined cavity) and another open area. 

Bathroom
Toilet is a Thetford Porta Potti Qube.

Shower is equipped but not used recently, as the marina has excellent showers available.
