Holly Lou Narrowboat 37ft

Have you ever thought of living on the water? Being close to the nature, feeding ducks in the morning, navigating through canals, built almost 200 years ago and now being part of herritage, during the day and sleeping with nature at night? Holly Lou is a house on water, a 37 feet narrowboat enabling to create a cozy floating home for a couple of persons. To describe how it looks in words, the boat is built in 1975 - it was renovated numerous times since then, but boats, like bottle of wine, with age can get better. Holly Lou is steel on the bottom, and plated with tin on the top.

It is green colored with old fashnioned stern in the back. As you enter through the stern inside the boat, you pass through a sleeping area that can be converted into two single berths or one double berth. We wil leave space without furniture, so that you could fit your taste upon moving in. At the moment there is a double mattress to sleep in. As you move forward, there is a bathroom on the left, which has a convenient portable Thetford toilette, easy to use and empty out, and a lovely romantic bathtub.

Water is heated with a calorfier, which recovers a waste heat and transfers it into domestic water systems. Waste heat comes from the heated coolant in the engine cooling system. The calorifier is plumbed into the engine coolant re-circulation system and uses a series of coils inside the tank to heat a body of water contained in the main shell of the tank. The galley is located in the mid-cabin, including a Vanette cooker and gas hob as well as a spacious work surface and a sink unit. It has a 12v fridge, though it is used as a food storage space and is not functioning as fridge.

Moving to the front of the boat, you will find the saloon which holds a cosy living area with a Clarke log burner on the left and a sitting bed and a storage space on the right. At the front you will have a gas tray, storage place and sitting area with a comfortable cover above. Speaking from technical part, Holly Lou has 3 Leisure and 1 Started batteries. It has an automatic switch from Starter to Leisure Batteries. There is no charging palce on the boat, but you can easily connect an inverter to have electrics on the boat.
