SOLD - Theodoric, stunning 57' trad 2011 Tim Tyler / Oakcraft

[@veronicaroach3667]

That is the very best layout I've ever seen, so much space in not the longest boat - cleverly designed for multiple sleeping spots ! The skylight thingys make the rooms so much bigger too, altho I would refer light painted woodwork instead of the 'woody' look !

[@redlebee]

My favorite of all the narrowboats I’ve seen on this channel. I dream about it!

[@lisadefries6718]

Agreed best boat I’ve seen. Simply love it. I keep comparing other boats to this one and they all seem to come up short. Guess if I ever have cash this would be a good template to design a boat from. Tyler Wilson hull with a hybrid electric engine and this interior maybe I might add a Pullman dinette with settles for seating.

[@pascalcoole2725]

A dishwasher and a AGA !!! I want it !!! Really what a beauty !

[@paulboden7850]

Farrow and Ball colours tastefully used here, contrasting nicely with the solid oak. Love the pidgeon boxes. Theodoric needs an owner who appreciates beauty, quality and olde world charm.

[@lisadefries6718]

It’s simply perfect. It looks both individual and practical and will look great for years to come a few minor knocks of reclaimed wood won’t detract from its beauty. Many narrowboat interiors have used machined wood that looks like it’s been made in a factory. This has warmth and character. Every space is a delight and serves a purpose. It seems much longer than 57ft

[@kaylew108]

Absolutely beautiful. I've watched this video a couple time since uploaded.

[@Elburion]

After seeing this one, wow, this is the perfect boat layout and the interior is so homey!

[@DBAllen]

The nicest narrow boat I've seen so for.

[@DBAllen]

Seems it must have all of the bells and whistles needed to look sharp to us Allens. LOL!

[@michaelhiggins7365]

There is so much to truly love about this boat. It just oozes a warm inviting cottagy charm. I love the hull colors and the large rivets. The use of natural wood and high quality paint, tongue and groove wood and lets not forget the two wonderful pigeon boxes. Having said all this, there are one or two things that don't make sense to me. First is the Heritage stove. It juts out almost in the passageway, like it was figured into the scheme as an afterthought. I'd also want to know, can you isolate the radiators while you cook on it; I'd sure hate to be heating up the boat in the summertime. Also, the oven is tiny, no hope of cooking a Thanksgiving turkey in there. I may be wrong, but does it take a long time to heat up food in a pan? I think I would much prefer a regular gas hob. Secondly, having a dishwasher seems a bit of a waste, unless you are moored up in a marina most of the time and have power to burn.There is no solar installed or travel generator, for 90 grand I think I would want a Travel Generator to run the Washing Machine. Don't get me wrong, this boat is one of the very nicest out there, but I would likely ditch the stove, convert to an Eberspacher system, install a Gas Hob stove. Having said this, I might elect to keep the stove if it proved to be efficient in cooking food, but again, the oven appears tiny.

[@rockinginafreeworld3256]

Yes it’s expensive but look at what you get. This is the best boat I’ve seen to date. Everything spells quality and so full of charm. This or a new car? I know what I would have every time.

[@colingibson8018]

Definitely have to agree, totally stunning.

[@uthmaanpacsa7259]

This is the second time this wonderful boat is for sale on Rugby Boats.

[@michaelhiggins7365]

There are many, many things to love about this boat, the woodwork, walk thru bathroom, door latches, stunning reclaimed elm, painted tongue and groove, belfast sink, stunning saloon and cratch seating area, low time on engine, charming pigeon boxes etc. But one thing to me stood out as a negative which really should have been a positive, perhaps I am wrong? The Heritage Stove which offers a beautiful focal point to the boat to me, has two negatives. One, it seems there is really only room to place one pot at a time onto the cooking surface, perhaps you could squeeze two tiny ones there. Secondly, how would you cook in the summer without heating up the whole boat? Perhaps there is an isolation valve to the radiators? One other negative, it appears the bed does not have an extendable width. Still, this boat has so many positives, one may easily overcome these concerns.

[@MrSheckstr]

Only thing I can think of is a lot of electrical devices set atop the counter when in use. And I can’t see the point to it. Your gas free but you have a coal stove? Only can guess they don’t do a lot of cooking and that coal stove is more for ambience instead of serious heating . And going back to the stove, it does seem odd because I have seen diesel stove that both cook and heat a room and the have multiple burners so I can’t understand this. Looks more like something you would see port of the back steps in the boatman’s cabin than the main galley

[@storybooksoapothecary1310]

I wish whoever bought this boat would do a video update showing what they did with it.

[@lisadefries6718]

I’m not sure it needs much doing to it. It looks close to my idea of perfection. 😊 maybe a few tilting solar cells rather than stick on type which may mean a repaint of top part of roof.

[@charles_tamminen]

Very nice boat!! The front cabin with the glazed interior doors is very elegant.

[@120730amm]

Absolutely lovely boat. Beautiful, cosy feel.

[@mikesarno7973]

Lovely boat. Wonderful layout. Love the oak. Thank you for showing all those cupboards.

[@paulbush8881]

Absolutely as you say stunning, there is nothing I would change I´m not a fan of too much wood paneling but I could live with this fantastic crafted boat , once agian stunning I loved the staggerd entrance and exit from the bathroom thats how it shouild be done and on the other side tv right fire left door in the middle excelent ..

[@Hullajump]

hello Yes but have you see ? he have 3 tv

[@rogerwoodhouse7945]

Thats stopped me in my tracks.Lovely boat though but I expected a price tag of about 70 k

[@Dirk_Taggesell]

I stared in disbelief as well.

[@thekitowl]

Alexanders Maggs looks like the owner’s added what he spent on the boat, too what he paid for it & come up with that figure. Would have thought 70K tops.

[@mcgoo721]

That feels like so much space for 57’! How’d they do it?

[@lisadefries6718]

Good template for when we all win the lottery 😊 hybrid electric engine would make it perfect

[@veronicaroach3667]

Partly becos the engine is where it should be - out of sight below decks !

[@elund408]

hand fitted wood, aga cookers aren't cheap, wonder if the owner thought it was his forever boat then found different. I have never seen an aga cooker in person, how do cook in the summer if it puts out heat at all times? do you shut it off and not cook?

[@cackleberrycottage2340]

I always wonder the same thing. You don't see many Aga cookers here in California.

[@MichaelsMustang]

I stayed in a home in Australia, North Queensland, many years ago in summer so arourd 35 degress celcius or 95 degrees fahrenheit and it had one of these and it was on and I was equally surprised it was no hotter than a normal oven. There is a lever that you move to compensate for the season, you either retain the heat or you get rid of it.

[@veronicaroach3667]

So much of what humans do is all about impressing other people, that's why it's often quite illogical to the practical person who doesn't do that !

[@lisadefries6718]

This is one of the most attractive narrowboat fit outs I’ve ever seen 😊 I simply adore it. My perfect dream narrow boat would be on a Tyler Wilson hull like this, have a hybrid engine with a large leisure battery bank and have a Pullman dinette (which looked like two settles ) and a single fixed cabin for my son. Everything else would be the same as this video or very close excluding the length which would obviously need to increase given my wish list. It’s like a stunning floating cottage. The wood colour is spot on reminds me of attractive Dutch barges. I’m going to take screen shot of link and plan just incase I win the lottery 😂🤣😂 well my neighbour has won 4.5 mill he is still living next door over a year later 😂🤣😂 so if he can win lottery guess anyone can lol Perfection whoever owns this boat must be very pleased. I think oakcraft boats has folded but Jim Birch works as a soul trader out of Weedon for those who win the lottery. Think he been responsible for several Crick boat show wins . Amazing boat such a joy to view video 😊

[@Daveaaaaa]

Absolutely beautiful! Full of charm.

[@stevegoodier1241]

No denying it's a lovely looking boat, so many features...Sadly out of my price range.

[@120730amm]

Stunning.

[@numberplateguy8511]

As much as the price seems a bit high etc the person that this boat is ideal for won't worry about the price The price is only the price of a new range rover or porsche etc and there are loads of them etc For someone seeing their house and or downsizing etc as expensive as it is a lot of people can put their hand on that type of dough

[@rachelmarshall3974]

Do they usually take all the furniture , chairs etc., with them , when they sell ?

[@jeffebdy]

I've been wondering that...if I ever get the chance to buy a boat I foresee problems getting furniture delivered & in through the doors!

[@MichaelsMustang]

You have to look at included items just like realestate.

[@elainelucas8097]

there are some beautiful canal boats , but the thought of steering one, for me more likely crashing. I'd need a short one.

[@lisadefries6718]

57ft considered standard length for narrowboats. Some are as long as 70ft 😮 and some as tiny as 25ft Same principle applies short or long. Best to get helmsmans course first before taking any purchase out.

[@manwithapan9481]

Sure I've seen this boat for sale here before.

[@carolrayfield9265]

She's very well fitted out internally but at £95K is on the pricey side in my view.

About the same as a square foot plank mounted vertically on the top of your car roof. Try it. Please report back.

[@tuvia4082]

I prefer a reverse layout myself. I don't like people having to go through the bedroom. Also, why oh why would someone need a dishwasher? A little oaky but still a nice boat.

[@lknanml]

What the. Didn't this one just sell a year or so ago? Lots of people just spending a year or the water then moving onto something else? They got rid of the half sofa seat. Looked much better with it. Yea. I liked this one back then.. LOL

[@StuartBtn]

Very nice boat but this one imho will be for sale in a months time moored next to the wide beams, me thinks the seller has already spotted his “Bricks & Mortar” and the price reflects the price on that plus a bit for a rainy day, cruise and a new car😂

[@camillapeake2532]

[@valerieburnett8930]

Wow

[@PapaPerfidy]

You could buy two decently fitted and similarly sized boats for the asking price on this 8 year old boat. Someone with more money than sense will probably be seduced by the excellent finish and buy it for near the asking price though.

[@MichaelsMustang]

Were you at Woodstock ?

[@JasperJanssen]

That front cabin is super nice, though. I don’t think I’ve seen any others with that layout.

[@ChrisJames1973]

Not for me, especially not for £94k. Why was so much work done in 2017 was it neglected before? Very average engine as well

Who put that dreadful furniture into that lovely boat? The original design was stunning, not it looks run down.

[@MichaelsMustang]

I was not game to say this everyone elso loves it so I agree 100%. The exterior paint is lovely but the interior paint does not suit that wood.

[@davidbeckett3345]

Why do people spend thousands on a vessel , then sell after a couple of years , lifestyle not suitable ? then make a loss on the sale ,
