Jemima Puddleduck is an

ideal ‘fixer-upper’ just waiting

for someone to administer a

little TLC.

She is a generous size with

good basic facilities - a double

bedroom, full shower room

with hip bath, a good sized

kitchen and a large saloon

offering living and dining

space which can also be used

as a second bedroom. There

is another wash hand basin

by the stern steps, convenient

for after changing the oil or

clearing the weed hatch!

This four-berth trad stern

from Stowe Hill is powered

by a BMC 1.8 diesel with a

Hurth 150 gearbox. Heating

is provided by a Prity

multi-fuel stove with a

backboiler to finrads with hot

water from a Morco system

All in all Jemima is an

ideal project for someone and

has the potential for a very

handsome liveboard.

This vessel is a traditional

narrowboat with boatman’s

cabin and engine room. It has

been with the same owner

since new and was last out of

the water for blacking in 2016.

The forward well has a rope

fender, steel cants, a T stud, a

gas locker and cratch cover.

Two stable-style timber doors

lead to the accommodation

• boatman’s cabin, engine
  room, double cabin,
  bathroom, galley and saloon.
  The roof is fitted with a
  sliding hatch over access aft,
  three opening hatches from
  side doors, skylight and
  pigeon box and TV satellite
  dome.
  Grace Evelyn is driven by a
  Greaves 2YW 25hp with a
  PRM 250 gearbox and used an
  Electrolux travel pack.
  Heating is provided by an
  Alde boiler heating radiators

and a solid fuel stove. The

six-berth arrangement

comprises a fixed double in a

double cabin, a convertible in

boatman’s cabin and a

convertible sofa in the saloon.

The bathroom is fully tiled

and is fitted with a cassette

toilet, inset white basin and a

step-in shower. The galley has

TAKE A CLOSER

LOOK

Built by Warble Boats, this trad

is powered by a 4-cylinder

Nanni engine with a PRM 260

gearbox and PRM hydraulic

bow thruster. From the stern

on two-berth boat is the

engine room, bedroom, galley,

bathroom, saloon to the sliding

door to the foredeck.

Four-berth Taurean is a great

example of a Hudson traditional

tug-style narrowboat. With the

typical long, raised foredeck

the quality hull is carefully

detailed with recessed panels,

false rivets etc.

An attractive circular

staircase leads into the saloon

with solid-fuel stove. Aft is a

fully fitted traditional

boatman’s cabin. Pride of place

goes to the engine room with a

JD3 3-cylinder 30bhp diesel.
