M A I N  A U B E R G E  F E A T U R E S:

62ft semi traditional narrowboat built by G & J Reeves to Reading Marine’s specification

This boat has a lowered fore deck, built in toilet, fuel and water tanks

It is laid out to sleep 6 in 3 cabins with a walk through bathroom and “C” shaped galley

Fully insulated with 3M Thinsulate in both the internal cabin and engine bay. This material ensures a warm and silent craft

Powered by a Shire 45 engine with 3.5kw Travel power generator and Hospital silencer. The 4 blade prop, PSS gland and Neptune stern gear give great handling characteristics and require almost no maintenance

The Integrated Mastervolt Electrical system combined with AGM batteries ensure plenty of AC and DC power for extended cruising along with state of the art monitoring systems

The 6hp BCS electric bow thruster gives the boat excellent flexibility when mooring and during lock operations

The saloon features an “L” shaped sofa with built in drinks chiller, a fully integrated stereo system with DAB Radio, CD & DVD head unit and LCD TV. The bubble stove supplies all the pleasure of a real fire without the mess.

The solid oak galley with granite work surface has a slim line dishwasher, magic corner and pull out larder. The Domino gas on glass hob, eye level Spinflo oven/grill and microwave provide a great combination of ease of use and compact design.

The office/dinette has been designed to maximise the available storage space while still housing a washer/dryer and 3G phone ready office.

The walk through bathroom gives a spacious feel with the 12mm thick glass shower door and glass oval basin. The Blue Cristiliano surfaces give a luxurious and hard wearing finish. The enclosed Vac-U-Flush toilet allows for greater privacy and allows movement through the boat while the bathroom is being used.

The rear master cabin has a 4ft bed which can be extended to 4'6". The use of overhead lockers,
sizeable wardrobe and dresser give plenty of storage for an extended cruise.

Central heating and hot water are provided by a Webasto Thermo 50, immersion heater
and the engine.

The boat is built using 6, 12, 18 and 25mm oak faced ply with solid oak trims and is finished
in Blake's satin and gloss varnish. The bespoke soft furnishings are all made from the Designer Guild fabric range.

Other features include: Cratch with glazed lift out panels and cover, fully cushioned outside seating area and solar panel. All finished with chrome and stainless steel fittings throughout.
