Cruiser Stern narrow boat "Piper's
Pride", A modern and luxuriously fitted out canal
narrowboat. Cruiser stern with spacious and easy access to the
38hp Beta Marine engine (and to the weed hatch should the need
arise). The Webasto Cental Heating unit is also easily
accessible. Five batteries supply power to the inverter for
mains power when cruising. Handling is accurate and extremely
responsive and the throttle control is in just the right place.
The bedroom has a fixed double bed with under storage and drawers
below. There is also a large (double size) hanging wardrobe,
triple shelving unit and over bed storage - ample for living aboard.
The bathroom is full width (6'10") and features a dual flush toilet
modern wash basin and powerful shower. There is ample storage
in the under sink unit and also an 'airing cupboard' above the
calorifier. The water is heated by the Webasto C.H. unit,
electric or by the engine. The galley (kitchen) is fitted with
a gas oven, grill and hob with modern extractor fan/lighting above,
a microwave, washing machine, stainless steel sink unit, fridge with
freezer section, and clever internal storage aids to the units.
Black marble effect work surfaces and modern recessed ceiling
lighting complement the design. The galley opens out into the
cabin which is light and gives a spacious feeling with a seamless
continuation of the recessed lighting. The galley features a
full length low level 'fin rad' radiator and also a multi-fuel
stove. The multi-fuel stove is fitted with a back-boiler that
also heats the entire boat via the large radiators in the bathroom
and bedroom (very cosy even in winter!). There is a fitted
stereo CD player/radio. The TV cupboard is designed to house a
flat panel TV to be hidden when not in use. There are mains
sockets throughout the boat. Access to the bow is via double
doors where there is under seating storage and access to the bow gas
locker/storage. The boat is in 'as new' condition and has
hardly been used with only about 38 hours on the engine. She
was blacked in August 2008 and has not been in the water since, this
means she can be fully visually inspected inside and out. She
has a BSS certificate until August 2012. This is a rare
opportunity to purchase a Piper designed and built boat without
having to pay a premium. Viewing is possible seven days a
week. New pastures and new partner forces sale.
Although currently named 'Piper's Pride'
the new owner can choose any name for
the boat so you are not restricted to someone else's
choice of name! You can also become a member of the
Piper Owners
Club.
Advantages of a 52ft boat:
-
All the features of a longer boat but
easier handling and can be turned
in more places (winding holes, etc.)
-
Leaves more room in locks to ensure you
won't catch on the cill.
-
More likely to fit into a temporary mooring
point vacated by a longer boat on busy days and easier to find a
permanent mooring in a marina (can reside on a 50ft berth,
subsequently less expensive).
-
Less expensive
to license on the waterways than longer boats.
-
Easier to transport on road if required
(i.e. if you want to take it to Europe).

of the Llangollen canal it is ideally placed for superb canal
cruising with only a short trip through Hurleston locks to join the
Shropshire Union Canal. The trip along the famous Llangollen canal
to the west through Wales is arguably the best there is on the
entire canal system with highlights such as Grindley Brook locks and the
Thomas Telford built aqueducts; the most famous of which is now
a UNESCO world heritage site at Trevor - the
Pontcysylite Aqueduct. It is estimated that 6,000

The site is protected by CCTV security and is not open to the
