Accommodation:

The Wolstenholme designed 60 ft. barge is spacious and comfortable, making it the ideal live aboard or extended cruising Barge. The twin cabin layout provides two cabins: - the forward contains a large double berth and good access to a cavernous toilet compartment, complete with it’s own separate shower. The aft cabin provides two generous singles; the aft cabin also contains an en-suite toilet with separate shower wet room. The saloon is light and bright thanks to a large sun hatch fitted into the ceiling. The sofa unit is large and can more than cater four people. Stowage as you would expect is plentiful. Aft of the saloon, there is a fully equipped galley & utility area with all the normal household appliances fitted. The light and airy wheelhouse provides fantastic seating all round with tremendous visibility for all the occupants. The entire barge is opulence personified.

Other Equipment:

Radio, TV and satellite.

Comments:

Shell constructed by South Holland marine and fitted out by Tideway marine Suffolk to a very high standard. Designed by Andrew Wolstenholme. The hull design is based aesthetically, on the lines of the Dutch luxemotor barges but uses a double chine form to simplify construction. Rather than follow the conventional working barge superstructure arrangement this design uses a centre wheelhouse. This is a similar style to that used on aft cabin motor cruisers and combines the outside living space that is so often missing from barges with a large and sociable wheelhouse/saloon.
