SOLD - Winnie, luxury 65' Trad 2009 G&J Reeves

[@golden36]

Hats of to the man that out fitted this boat , he’s a very skilled craftsman , well planned out and nicely executed , the best boat that I’ve seen yet , just a beautiful job .

[@lisadefries6718]

Beautiful example of a narrowboat. Love the colour of wood. It creates a happy environment to live in I feel. I see it’s now sold so someone is now living the dream 😊

[@lknanml]

WOW. A luxury build centered around being usable over showing off. Very well done! That's one of the better full time live aboards I have seen in a while.

[@johnferrier2803]

Hands down the best boat I’ve ever seen!

[@annettefournier9655]

Whoever designed and fitted out this bost was,. and possibly is still a blooming genius and artist.

Absolutely Stunning Boat I could live with Winnie 💓

[@misery13666]

Now THAT is an absolutely stunning boat! I envy whomever buys her greatly.

[@curlyanneb1973]

Well, this is gorgeous. Love the dining area. You always need a place to spread out. The red is glorious. Only thing I would change is the white fridge.

[@ladybearbaiter]

I have looked at narrowboats for years...…..this is the ultimate !

[@GildaLee27]

Superb. Especially liked the single cabin.

[@elizabethannferrario423]

My goodness how stunning is she !

[@chrisperry7963]

Wow, what a boat...seriously thinking of accelerating my move plans, lol.

[@ceeceety2320]

Chris Perry~Where do you live currently? We are in the US and would absolutely love to retire there on a narrowboat. As a matter of fact, that is the plan. Just wondering if you are already living there with plans to move onto a narrowboat or if you are making a bigger move as we would be. Glad for you either way!

[@spencerwilton5831]

Seriously impressive. I'd love this boat! Why do the perfect ones always come up for sale at the wrong time- in the middle of a house move here grr.

[@wsatnutter9674]

Stunning boat!

[@paulstanding7267]

Well this is a very well thought out boat absolutely fantastic inside very light daylight just bounces around the boat 👍👍😀😀

[@suecox2308]

A beautiful boat.

[@secretsymphony]

Beautiful boat, even if I do prefer reverse layout. My only qualm would be the view from the tiller looked obscured.

[@spencerwilton5831]

secretsymphony obscured by what? Just about every narrowboat has very similar sight lines, given the air draft is usually within a few inches of every other boat, and the tiller is generally around hip height, and the rear deck is usually about a foot above the waterline.

[@secretsymphony]

@@spencerwilton5831 The roof hatch looked particularly high from the helmsman's position. That's all. Sadly, I'm not on the water. Just an arm seat enthusiast dreaming about one day living on a boat.

[@MichaelsMustang]

I think the view along the roof was certainly reduced however I think a lot of that was where the camera was positioned. If you think about how tall an average person is they should be above that box and with how well this boat was desigbed I doubt the builder made such an error.

[@southernbreeze3278]

110k US - less than I thought it would be

[@ykdickybill]

Beautiful !!

[@ceeceety2320]

I've read many comments on several channels that say you can barely fit a narrowboat longer than 57 ft. into most locks. Is this true? I love this boat and am hoping to possibly retire on one, which my wife and I are trying to research. Can anyone tell me if this is true? I would want to be able to access every lock there is of course. Thank you from the US! We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy from this awful pandemic. Tim and Tammie Miller

[@pittorivers906]

Hi Tim, 90% of the locks fit up to a 70ft boat, however a small section of the canal network has 58ft locks. That being said, you can supposedly fit a boat up to 60ft in, as you can go in at an angle (although I've not tried personally). So yes, for complete coverage, a 58ft narrowboat is required

[@MichaelsMustang]

rugbyboats.co.uk/lock-sizes/ This is Rughby Boats own map, my estimate is 95% of the system and if you read the blurb they even suggest a way to see the four that are not available, personally I doubt many see 100% anyway. The longer boats off larger rooms and or more feactures so it really boils down to that, this is a perfecrt live aboard boat.

[@daisysoto1356]

ME ENCANTA ❣

[@elizabethannferrario423]

Yes another stunner , really loverly , it’s a shame to go cruising with a stunning boat ! Yes I know you thinking why looking at boats knowing I just couldn’t survive on a boat as I am scared of deep water , but I enjoy looking sorry ! Good speed to her new owners x

[@MichaelsMustang]

The canans are not deep at all. In the "cruising the cut" videos David fell in once and is standing, in others they show CRT workers standing doing remidial work. The rivers are tidal and deeper so a life jacket required. The only real exception is locks, they are as deep as the incine is but again if you are worried you can wer a vest. You should confirm all this with the CRT they should be able to answer all your qyestions. canalrivertrust.org.uk/

This boat will sell fast irrespective of price it would sell fast at Twickenham e the price it's no expense spared perfection

[@toppertruthio]

So whats the average mpg for a barge?And can you use red diesel?

[@spencerwilton5831]

toppertruthio About 1.5 litres per hour. Perhaps thee miles per litre. For the time being you can use red diesel for propulsion but self declare how much you use and therefore pay duty on. The EU took the UK to court over the issue though (I fail to see what it has to do with them, but there we are) and red diesel will soon become illegal in propulsion tanks. How the change over will be managed is still under discussion- many boats use a substantial amount of diesel for power generation and heating, even cooking, often all from the same tank. I suspect the whole lot will be taxed at the maximum rate, but hope I am proved wrong!

[@toppertruthio]

@@spencerwilton5831 ok thanks.And sad to say but you are probably right about the tax bit.Cheers

Not true.

@@presterjohn71 that's what I heard...that you could buy there but not live there year round, like Canada. ...also heard it on one of the interviews on a couple from US who said they were trying to get OK to stay in UK but so far could only get a 6 mos visa...I retire next year and want to buy a boat and travel as many canals as I can..would be great if I'm wrong..
