A newly restored Classic bakdekker Cruiser.
I have spent the last 7 years restoring and improving the vessel.
Has got a new 2023 Boat Safety Cert, and a 2024 Boat Registration.

Had a Survey done on the 14/09/23
All hull thicknesses good , no repairs or welding needed.And repainted anti fowl.
Anode's in good shape and doing their job

During Covid in 2021 it was taken out of the water ,and had a full exterior paint and inspection and new anodes.

The interior has had a new floor throughout with insulation, hatches and pulls.
The boat itself has had new wall and ceiling insulation throughout.
New power points and wiring , with a new trickle charge system for all batteries.
New Kitchen and appliances, and curtains.
New Chilli penguin multi fuel burner and flew installed.
New bedroom joinery, refit and paint,and TV.

It's a beautiful boat , and Is easy to drive and handle.I can do the locks with one middle rope on my own.

New Gas fit out 2020, and Cert,

The Mooring is at the
Thames and Kennet marina ,next to Reading.
Great location for trips to Windsor and Henley, or other way up to Oxford

Beautiful Marina with all facilities, restaurant Bar ,Chandlery,Laundry,Parking,

As a member of the Tindene Marina, it also gives you access to the other Marinas run by the organisation.
You can go and moor at the Racecourse Marina in Windsor for example ,and stay in their Marina , charged the same monthly fee.
All you have to do is organise it through the Marina and their Partners.

This is a live aboard mooring.
The monthly rent on the Mooring is 486 pounds
This covers , water and rent, council tax,

My reasons for selling the boat is that my living arrangements have changed, and I'm now living in Wales and not full time on my Boat .
She's a lovely boat ,I've put hundreds of hours working on here , and i hope it will go to an owner who will continue to improve and enjoy here.

Please only serious offers, Sick of people offering me stupid offers and wasting my time.
You can't rent it out as an Air b and b in a working Marina!

It is really a lovely one person apartment, it has a small wardrobe with draw and new draw storage under the bed.
This is not a two person live a board full time , but is a good two person weekend cruiser.

Four locks to Henley ,which takes a couple of hours, beautiful country.

It doesn't have the necessary storage for two people to live aboard full time.
But there is the option of converting the below back deck area into another bedroom or storage area
