Narrowboat 1000 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until March 16, 2026.Characterful Narrowboat 1000 from 1970 – Authentic steel houseboat with potentialThis Narrowboat 1000 from 1970 offers a unique opportunity for lovers of characterful boats with an authentic look. With a length of 10 meters and a width of 2 meters, this steel ship is ideal for trips on narrow waterways such as canals and rivers. The boat is built with a robust steel hull, reinforced below the waterline with stainless steel plates, contributing to the durability of the underwater hull.Layout and living spaceInside, the Narrowboat offers a headroom of 1.94 meters, providing a spacious feeling and comfort on board. The interior can still be customized to your liking, making this boat particularly attractive for buyers who want to realize their own style and layout. Whether you dream of a cozy houseboat or a floating holiday home, this Narrowboat provides a solid foundation to bring your ideas to life.The aft deck has a wooden floor that needs replacing. This presents a great opportunity to redesign the aft deck according to your taste and purpose. Access to the engine room is under this deck, and it is important to consider waterproofing during renovation to prevent rain infiltration.Engine and sailing characteristicsThe boat is equipped with a Lister inboard diesel engine with two cylinders, also from 1970. This classic engine is operational, offering a cruising speed of about 7 km/h, with a top speed of 10 km/h. The engine was checked in 2023, including a gearbox overhaul. Although the gearbox may slip slightly at times, the propulsion system works well for calm sailing on inland waters.With a 100-liter fuel tank, the boat is suitable for longer trips without frequent refueling. The electric bilge pump contributes to onboard safety, while the anchor with chain provides a stable mooring when needed.Sailing experience and usage possibilitiesThis Narrowboat has mainly been used on canals and ditches, making it ideal for calm waters. The shallow draft of 40 cm and an air draft of 1.60 meters allow passage under low bridges, making the boat particularly suitable for urban waterways and rural canals.The current owner has used the boat for both leisure cruising and living aboard, highlighting the versatility of this vessel. The boat offers ample space and potential to be converted into a comfortable houseboat or a charming recreational vessel.Technical condition and maintenanceThe boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2023, including an antifouling treatment. This helps protect the hull against fouling and corrosion. The hull is reinforced with extra plates below the waterline, a significant advantage for the ship's longevity.Although there are some areas that need attention, such as the aft deck and gearbox, this Narrowboat provides a solid foundation for further finishing and personalization. The available documentation, including a valid "carte de circulation," makes it easier to use the boat on French and other European inland waters.Style and characterThe Narrowboat 1000 exudes the atmosphere of traditional English ship design, with a sleek hull and a functional layout that perfectly suits life on the water. The steel construction and classic engine block give the ship an authentic character that is hard to find in modern boats. For those looking for a vessel with a story and room for personal touch, this is an excellent opportunity.This Narrowboat is an invitation to take to the water and write your own sailing story – whether in the French canals, on the Dutch canals, or during a peaceful journey through the Luxembourgish countryside.
