Internally there’s a great feeling of space and you’ll receive lots of admiration from towpath users and other boaters. You’ll find her easy to handle and turn, locks are a doddle even when single-handed. This Dutch Barge has a riveted steel hull and is powered by a glorious Peugeot Bowman engine (serviced). She was out of the water to be blacked and inspected end of 2019 at the same time as getting her BSS certificate (Due for renewal 29/01/2023). Booked in to be taken out of water & blacked in July at Uxbridge Centre (Deposit paid already - happy to include in price.) Licensed as a continuous cruiser, you can move around the system or look for your own private mooring (if you’re less adventurous!).
