We are pleased to list this fabulous classic Dunston barge from 1936. Once plying her trade up and down the Humber and Trent, she was finally decommissioned in 1979 and converted to a live-aboard.

She was then further converted to what you see today around 11 years ago.

She has very roomy living accommodation for 2+2 (the saloon converts to a double). Large, well-equipped galley, good-sized double bedroom and a fantastic full bath/shower room, with both a sea toilet and a composting unit.

Power is from not one, but three good classic engines; a Lister and two Glenifer auxiliaries for manoeuvring.

She would be a superb live-aboard (as she once was), and the mooring could be available (by separate negotiation with the landowner).

She does need a little work, due to not having had the tlc lately that her (sadly deceased) Owner once gave her - and is priced accordingly.

This is a beautiful example of the very popular Par Kirie build.
She's in fantastic condition for her age and has a recent survey to confirm that!

Recent out of water clean, antifoul and hull polish, together with new anodes and engine service - she's very much ready to sail.

Good-sized accommodation for 5/6 with 2 x double berths and a large, comfortable saloon too.

Founded in California in 1969, Catalina Yachts are now one of the largest boat manufacturers in the world. The 320 was one of their most popular designs and stepping aboard this one I can see why.

This particular boat is on a swinging mooring and getting aboard from the tender felt so safe and easy, A simple step through transom with lots of hand holds and you're in the cockpit with the tender safe in davits on the stern. The cockpit and side decks are clear with the running rigging and traveller on the coachroof keeping things simple and uncluttered

Step below and she opens out into a light airy saloon with a clever layout making her feel like a much bigger boat. Both cabins are good sized with proper mattresses, the galley is well equipped and she presents nicely, clean and fresh below throughout. This is a really smart family cruiser which is on a Crown Estate swinging mooring which may be available if required.

This is a super listing of a classic Dutch Barge, built in Groningen around 1923.

She has been fantastically refurbished throughout, over the years, to a very high standard and features a very spacious saloon/galley, with both fore and aft double cabins with en-suites. The galley has a fridge/freezer, microwave and washer/dryer, as well as the usual sink and top-quality, four-burner hob/oven.

Her engine room houses the powerful Perkins diesel, as well as a 4.5kw generator, inverter and isolator.

The cockpit itself is a lovely living space with lots of light and space.

We can highly recommend arranging a viewing on this fabulous vessel!
