[@Elle-kr8od]

High quality, beautiful craftsmanship. An elegant boat.

[@johnpage5103]

hi you steam the wood then put in a jig to hold it when the wood dry's it stays in that shape of the jig

[@philipizzard2584]

Wow wow just stunning woodwork inside beautiful ❤

[@tuvia4082]

Lovely boat and cool curvy cupboards. Needs a bit of solar and a bow thruster, just my opinion. Thanks for sharing.

[@xavierglansbeek2876]

Exquisite narrowboat, no doubt about it, but exorbitant price !

[@sandrasmethurst4559]

What a beautiful boat, ❤ she’s perfect

[@jamesvandegrift8108]

Beautiful

[@EarthWatcher736]

No washing machine, bow thruster ?

[@tonysutton6559]

Have you ever looked at a tree? It's all curves and no straight lines. The wood is milled straight when it is cut into planks and boards. You could carve the curves out of a solid block but it uses far less wood to take a straight plank, steam it for quite some time, bend it to fit a mould/jig for the shape that you want and clamp it until it cools and dries out. Alternatively, you can take multiple thin strips of wood that are easier to bend to the shape of a jig, glue them together and clamp them until the glue sets.

A serious question, am I missing something that makes this 12 year old boat worth 120K appreciate the condition etc but feel that there is something that I am not seeing?

[@Paulssock]

Was thinking the same, I mean the woodwork is quality but to be honest not to my taste, massively overpriced imo.

[@davidpearson243]

I’m in agreement about the price but only has 400 hours on the engine We have a JD Narrowboat from the same year (fitted out by them) they are very solid fit outs and built like tanks !!!!

[@VictorVictor-hq7ui]

Maybe the number of hours it took to do the woodwork? All of the drawers were dovetailed. That alone takes a lot of time. You wouldn't work for nothing, would you?

[@tompybis4521]

120k bit pricey for age and i would expect a washing machine and a bow thruster and even cctv installed if i was parting 120k. Nice boat but too pricey.

[@johnmccann1960]

I thought reverse layout meant that from the stern it ran Galley, Saloon, Bathroom and then Bedroom at the Bow or am I missing something? (I'm quite new to Boating/Narrowboats) . . Lovely Boat btw.

[@susannefoxforcefourpickeri9358]

A traditional narrowboat is bedroom first from stern, anything else is classed as reverse layout meaning living/kitchen first. I hope this helps.

[@johnmccann1960]

@@susannefoxforcefourpickeri9358 It does, thank you Susanne.

[@beasmith1]

Wow wow wow. That's all I can say...

[@monicaswavel6074]

Very nice

[@nateellis628]

Either steam bending or thin strip lamination beding.

[@YawpMusic]

£119,950. Lovely, but a little bit posh for me...

[@vinnienoname4853]

50 quid short of 120k, bit rich for the age

[@traceyh6229]

£119,950

[@Chef2866]

Well thought out design, not so much of a well thought out price..

[@simonupex2628]

As lovely as this boat is I suspect the reason it hasn't sold is the over inflated price the owner has been advised to sell it for, take 20k off and it will sail away 😄

[@tonysutton6559]

Anybody would be proud to live on a boat with such quality workmanship like that but I would be scared to let the dogs and/or grandchildren come on board. I notice that the commodore was nowhere to be seen.

[@JamesBond-wb1po]

Worth 85k of anyones money

[@annettefournier9655]

Same way you make wooden boat hulls; you steam the wood to shape.

[@davidgormley4419]

You point the camera down way too much.

[@jaket9559]

Why so over priced

[@wsatnutter9674]

120k lmao

[@JS-go5nd]

£120 whopper... No chance of getting out on the cut anytime soon for 99% of the audience

[@John-w9t3r]

Far to steeply priced. Markets dropped rapidly and even if the market was good it would still be to steep

[@markanthony2040]

120k, Not really surprised its still for sale to be fair, nothing special pretty much bog standard...

[@Chris-td4yd]

BLM 👍 Not for me I’m Anglo Saxon 👍 It’s a matter of taste 🤕

[@margolenney6032]

Very nice.
