54ft Trad stern, tug style bow, based on a "Northwhich Trader"
2016 boat, 8 years in the water, has been a continuous cruising live aboard, in good condition.
Steel spec is 10,6,4
XR&D made the shell, a very reputable builder and a really nice looking shell. Coach bolt "rivets" and recessed panels are a nice nod to narrow boating history and make a really nice looking boat.
Reverse layout, which means kitchen (galley) at the back, then. moving forward the living room, bathroom and bedroom.
In the Engine room:
42hp Canaline engine. Less than ten years old (was brand new with the boat) Starts first time every time and has been serviced regularly all it's life.
Victron Inverter 1.3kw
600Ah AGM batteries
3Kw TravelPower (Basically an AC generator which runs off the engine, so when the engine's running you can use up to 3kw, so washing machine, hair dryer, things like that)
MPPT solar controler (600w of solar on the roof. MPPT controller manages that optimally so in the summer you don't have to think about the batteries)
The Kitchen:
Washing machine
Aga style diesel fired range cooker - which is excellent
12V under the counter fridge
Living room:
L-shaped dinette
Morse squirrel cast iron multi fuel stove
Bathroom:
Full height shower
Composting toilet (can easily be swapped for a cassette toilet)
Vanity basin
Bedroom:
Fixed double bed
Wardrobe
Snug (under the tug deck is the "snug")
TV
Bookshelf
Throughout the boat the finish is really nice. Oak faced ply lines the boat and sapele wood finished the trims. There are solid wood porthole liners and curtains on brass curtain rails. There's brass wall lights which provide a soft lighting option, as well as LED lighting overhead. There's one or two spots which show the boats age but generally things in the boat look really nice.
