A beautiful boat. Gorgeous shower, lovely dinette, pristine woodwork & tiling, and spacious fore & aft decks. And, of course - it’s brand new! With the addition of a washer/dryer, it would be extremely appealing.
"Kitchen" We're on a vessel ergo it's a "galley". "living room" We're on a boat, it's a "salon", although falsely named "saloon" by the canal skippers, who aren't real seafolk. :/
I love your videos. But, do not understand why Brits go for the bar fridge when any RV or Boat in North America has at least a 3/4 size fridge/freezer on it. And duel fuel, propane or electric. I’ve watched many narrowboat videos where they’re desperate for a Tesco or whatnot. Get a bigger fridge. Otherwise that boat is a dream! 😊🇨🇦 My late father had a “caravan” at 26ft pulled by a 2011 Ford Ranger. And he had more space, lol. But I loooove narrowboats. Just spitballing.
I would definitely prefer the saloon adjacent to the galley, for social purpose and convenience, but over-all, a beautiful boat. I'm keen to the reverse layout. It's like having a balcony off your bedroom.
Convert the bed into a Murphy style wall bed. Have it fold down over a sofa and or chairs. This is how my wife and I live in a 50 sq meter apartment. This could improve the layout. When underway and one person at the tiller others would tend to gather at the stern to include the tiller operator in conversation, bring tea & goodies and rotate with the helms person. The saloon area(s) are mostly for entertaining when tied up and not moving.
such a beautiful boat and i really like the layout as it is, a sofa bed in the saloon and you have a six berth boat, or just a comfy sofa would make the saloon a quiet comfy place to relax in front of the fire and away from the galley, the bathroom is stunning also. now for that elusive lottery win and she would be mine lol
Layout is a bit odd. I would lay it out as follows from the stern: saloon, dinette, kitchen, bathroom then bedroom. While steering the boat at the stern you are not separated from others sitting in the saloon plus the nice view out the door. Having the bedroom at the bow gives you your own "private" patio as well as views from the bed.
I like the workmanship but that layout is going to put off a lot of potential buyers. I really can't see the sense in separating the dining area from the Saloon. They are put together in 95% of boat layouts for a reason.
I'd be tempted to swap the bedroom and the saloon and move the wardrobe if it wasn't too big a job. That would give a 9 or 10 foot long saloon which is livable. The overbed cupboard could be the drinks cabinet! Still not ideal though.
The advantage is to have the saloon at the bow which maybe makes the well deck a more social space and more light in the saloon. I kind of like this although the walk through bedroom is a bit odd.
@@davidbagley1783 narrowboats are often left unheated in winter, when the owners are not on board. You don’t want your central heating pipes bursting if that happens, any more than your car’s coolant system.
The layout is a little unusual however I can see what they are trying to achieve. Visitors can be on the stern, in the dinning area, the kitchen and have access to the bathroom and the bedroom, saloon and well deck are private.
Move the bedroom closer to the bow and open up the interior. U shaped seating, Bimini convertible top and steering please. All easy to do if the price was right.
I've taken notice of the word 'calorifier', a word not used in U.S. English so I looked it up. The word means 'radiator' yet you use the word radiator for radiator...what on Earth is a 'calorifier'??
In a narrowboat context a calorifier is the hot water tank often having two or more heating sources. For example my boat has three "coils" (sources) to heat the water: 1. an electric immersion element 2. By running the main engine 3. By running an Eberspacher - a dedicated diesel water heater which also supplies the radiators.
The saloon at the bow can be serve different needs. Consider a fold-a-way or Murphy bed, or additional space for the existing BR. If it were me I would put another lavatory (sink & loo) and a door to that space make it a spare BR W/private 2 piece washroom.
I wish there was someone in Ireland who'd make these boats, because there's housing crisis and would love to rent one to live in, if anyone no's someone who would rent one let me no? Beautiful boat
I would love to know if anyone has ever designed a boat to live on, that could be accessible by a wheelchair? I has always been my dream to buy and live on a narrow boat, I am not in the best of health myself, but my daughter is paralysed from the waist down but is incredible transferring out of her chair. sideways. She is always challenged by steps. Would any narrow boat designer be able to build a wheelchair assessable narrow boat I wonder? Or are narrow boats only made for able bodied people? Her wheelchair is smaller than standard, measuring 14 inches wide across the back plus each wheel which my best guess is 4 and half inches wide so total width is 23 inches approx. I have never been on a narrow boat so have no clue how wide they actually are. Thank you.
Judging by the complete lack of character, effort and aesthetics, this was built by a caravan installer. Did somebody say 90,000? For a narrow caravan? I've seen beautiful floating apartments selling for less.
Everything is beautiful aside from that layout. It really is awful. The saloon needs to be with the galley. the dinette can be on either side of the galley, but the saloon needs to be there as well.
@@sarahann530 And how awful a world if everyone spent their time just putting others down, rather that using some constructive criticism. But you have done that on multiple peoples posts. So either you are the selling owner...Or just a complete twat. Good day.
@@rdmsh It's that separated saloon. If I want to eat while I watch a movie or grab a cup of tea I have to travel through the bathroom hallway and the bedroom to get back and forth. between the layout and the rat maze kitchen path it closes the whole boat up. it'll heat terribly due to it as well. having the galley, saloon dinette makes gives the boat a more open feel. There isn't a wall every 2 meters. Some areas you'd have to fight to pass by another person in it. Especially the kitchen where someone is more likely to be in one spot for a while cooking or washing up. That's why U shaped kitchens are so common. I wouldn't want that layout alone, much less with a partner or guests.

Love the layout with it well defined separated areas. Like the saloon being separate from the other "rooms."
One of the best floor plans I've seen with the dinette at one end saloon at the other. ;-)

Brilliant layout. Well thought out.
This is probably the best laid out narrowboat I have seen so far. I hate walkthrough bathroom/toilets so the enclosed toilet here is nice.
I'm liking this boat & its layout & that shower.

Interesting boat. I like the galley first l shaped dining and lounge area best though. Oh and a squared off stern!!

Guests would have to walk through Bedroom to get to the Saloon. Wouldn't buy it myself.

2018 build and no solar??
What’s that red liquid tank in the electrics cupboard? Oh wait, expansion tank for the unpressurized central heating system, filled with antifreeze?
Anti freeze?
@@davidbagley1783 narrowboats are often left unheated in winter, when the owners are not on board. You don’t want your central heating pipes bursting if that happens, any more than your car’s coolant system.
wow that's handy a railway station next door to a hire boat yard, i assume it is a public use passenger station?
Great layout. Needs more batteries and solar panels.
Great layout.
How much do these cost? But fir a brand new build its pretty old tech n pretty boring...not very modern on enviro friendly :-/

Swop the galley and bedroom around and that would be great.
Lovely boat. Please, show more cupboards. Thank you.
Not a Word about. The engine ! ! How come ? 😟
I love that boat!
I want to live inside that shower! What a dream machine.
Off all the boats i seen till now, this is the first one that exacly matches the layout i'dd prefer. Why is this such an odd choice ?
Yes please
I've taken notice of the word 'calorifier', a word not used in U.S. English so I looked it up. The word means 'radiator' yet you use the word radiator for radiator...what on Earth is a 'calorifier'??
It's a gas bottle fed fire or heat system.
Calor is a brand of gas distributor among others.

@@boatfaceslim9005 Thank you
@@MichaelsMustang You're welcome!
I like it that would be great to live in it.
I like flexibility of space one could if necessary make saloon a second bedroom
fantastic boat and a decent price as well
The saloon at the bow can be serve different needs. Consider a fold-a-way or Murphy bed, or additional space for the existing BR. If it were me I would put another lavatory (sink & loo) and a door to that space make it a spare BR W/private 2 piece washroom.
The shower room is ace but I'm not keen on the rest of the layout
I wish there was someone in Ireland who'd make these boats, because there's housing crisis and would love to rent one to live in, if anyone no's someone who would rent one let me no? Beautiful boat
Could do with a few more cupboards / storage space , nice boat though
Really nice, I just need to win the lottery and I will buy it.
You and me both lol.
I want one!!!
I would want sliding doors.

That's in Pounds..........US $114,600.
How many pesos is that ?
Link does not work for me?
Once they are sold the link is removed
My kind of boat :-)

Nice,,,,,,,,but made for short people. I am 6' 6" tall. I would have to wear a motorcycle helmet or have a sore head, lol. Bed is to short as well.
You're abnormal.

Odd layout

Then you can buy one like that . How boring life would be if everybody thought the same as you .
@@sarahann530 And how awful a world if everyone spent their time just putting others down, rather that using some constructive criticism. But you have done that on multiple peoples posts. So either you are the selling owner...Or just a complete twat. Good day.
The layout needs reassigning. You're absolutely correct 😊
The dinnette
90 grand getting dear these canal boats buy 2 houses
Where? £90k buys half a small house in most of the UK.
I'd like to know where you can buy 2 houses for 90 grand. You can't even buy a pokey flat here in Bristol for under 200k
Try using the correct spelling and grammar when writing. You seem to be very uneducated.
@@Ianb793 It was all the fist fights in the original series he is punch drunk now.
Very pretty. If only 😏
What a terrible layout!
resnor 007 why? Seems okay to me. Few issues I don’t like, the stove all the way at one end won’t heat the galley through the corridor.

@@rdmsh Thats why it has radiators . A stove only heats the same amount of square feet no matter where it is in insulated space
I don't want to step down from the stern and into a bedroom.

Looks like IKEA fitted out the interior. UGLY!
You mean “finally a boat that doesn’t look like a 1930s Traveller Wagon, so good-looking”.
Can't stand tje grey subway tile in the bathroom, and the floor pllad is awkward to say the least😯
Can't please everyone! I thought the tiled bathroom was the best bit!

Looks too modern, like a cheap caavan. Couldn't live in that.
Without 90k you are not living in it
