General: She has been sympathetically converted and she retains her gorgeous lines. Many features have been added such as sliding steel window covers and a canvas ‘cargo’ hold cover to enhance her traditional Dutch looks. Good ground tackle including a substantial anchor and manual winch for river / estuary work. She is an easy barge to handle thanks to the ample power / manoeuvrability provided by the Volvo diesel unit and well-designed swim. Overall, the specification of her conversion has been designed with live-aboard / extended cruising in mind and she would be equally at home on the Continental waterways as she is on the broad English waterways. She is a gorgeously proportioned little ship, attracting comments wherever she goes and is a pleasure to own and cruise. Wheelhouse: Fully demountable (easy and quick) varnished / painted teak wheelhouse providing shelter and 360degree visibility. Map/chart table / seat to aft, 2 bi-fold doors to port / starboard, engine monitoring gauges inc. rudder position indicator, navigation lights, horn, VHF (ATIS), screen wiper. Hydraulic steering system is installed with manual steering possible at stern (in emergency).

Exterior finishes: Deck paints by International, 4 coats of blacking last winter, very presentable with many details added. Heating and water systems: Glow-worm balanced flue combi boiler professionally fitted and converted to LPG (CORGI registered installer) provides unlimited hot water in all weather conditions.

Pressure is provided via twin 12v pumping system (located in forward bulkhead area) feeding accumulator tank and large carbon filters. All fresh water is filtered and tastes like evian! Black water tank is fitted amidships and therefore does not affect the trim of the boat from full to empty. The tank is fitted full-length port-to-starboard and is of stainless steel construction. Capacity is 800L giving over 2 months’ use (with room to spare) between pump-outs. The tank is sufficiently large to convert to a grey water holding tank if future legislation warrants. Galley: Fully fitted galley with built-in gas oven, inset 4 burner gas hob, Electrolux 3-way fridge, separate washer and dryer, stainless drainer and sink, drinking water fountain, ample storage provided, 12v lighting and 240v sockets.
