Description

Hi everyone!

If you're spending your lock-down time searching for that perfect post-covid home / holiday home, please have a gander at Canal Mania!

**Please do get in touch, we can answer questions and go through details, but all viewings will be done after restrictions lift, in line with government advice!**

A perfect first boat, suitable for live-aboard, continual cruising and as a holiday home (she’s been both in her time!)

We spent two glorious years learning the ropes on Canal Mania when we started boating. She’s small enough to be easy to handle and to moor almost anywhere, whilst being incredibly well designed to make the most out of the space. The 6’5″ headroom helps to make it feel roomy inside.

Who is this boat ideal for?

Canal Mania is a perfect starter boat / holiday home / timeshare.

Ideal for London living and cruising, or further afield as, at just 40ft, this beauty can be moored pretty much anywhere (and, you often don’t need to travel to a winding spot as she turns easily on any wider stretches of canal!)

Layout.

Entering the boat from the bow into the Saloon, there’s a radiator and stove on starboard side, and a built-in convertible ‘L’ shaped sofa bed, with underneath storage on portside.

Galley with cupboards on starboard side, then more cupboards, a four ring gas hob, with oven and grill, 12v fridge, stainless steel sink and drying area on portside.

Corridor past Bathroom with full height shower cubicle against bulkhead wall, sink with vanity unit below and a cassette toilet (with spare cassette.).

Through to Bedroom, a fixed double bed on portside, with a single bed above that stores away, or can be used as a storage shelf. Cupboard fixed against bulkhead, and under-bed storage.

Engine room.

Berths.

With up to 5 berths, there’s plenty of sleeping space for families or friends to spend some relaxing time on the cut.

There’s one fixed double bed (towards stern), with a single above it that can swing out the way! The generous ‘L’ shaped sofa (towards bow) easily converts into a cosy double by the stove!

Heating.

There’s a Webasto on board, with three radiators.

There’s also a gorgeous Squirrel stove, which heats the entire boat in no time at all!

Small, but perfectly formed.

With small boats, it’s all about layout and clever storage solutions, here are some of her’s:

The dining table comes out / fits neatly away in two easy steps.

The ‘L’ sofa has storage underneath AND doubles as a double bed.

The cupboard space is maximised for easy access and ample storage space for living aboard.

The lovely open-plan style offers a peaceful flow through the whole boat, so it doesn’t feel too small.

With headroom of 6ft 5”, you’re not stooping or bumping into things!

With a traditional stern layout, you get more cabin space, and the engine room is great for storage!
