Build and accommodation Built from immensely tough fibre-reinforced epoxy composite (that won't rot, rust or suffer from osmosis), extremely well insulated and panelled throughout in oak with solid oak trim, the boat has a sumptuously appointed double berth owners' cabin aft of the wheelhouse with en suite shower and WC. There is a second double-berth 'guest' cabin at the opposite end of the boat with separate shower and WC rooms adjacent. The sofa in the saloon converts to a third double bed, if required, and the seating in the wheelhousenormally arranged as an 'L'-shaped dinette on a raised plinth for maximum visibility through the panoramic windowscan also be arranged to provide sleeping accommodation for two. Although the wheelhouse has a large sliding sunroof, there is a second 'fly bridge' helm position on the aft sun deck. For cooler evenings at the ends of the seasonand particularly over Christmas and the New Yearthere is oil-fired central heating via domestic radiators throughout the boat. There are two 65 litre insulated tanks supplying abundant hot water and heated by the engine or the diesel boiler. A 2.0kW inverter provides 230V AC power for such essential items as hair driers in the absence of a shore-based power source, while a fully equipped galley with four burner hob, grill and oven and two refrigerators with freezer compartments should help to fill the gaps between the many and varied eateries to be found along the waterways.
