Narrowboat 1000 from 1970 – Steel houseboat with character and potential This Narrowboat 1000, built in 1970, is a steel canal boat measuring 10 meters in length and 2 meters in width. With a draft of 40 cm and an air draft of 160 cm, this boat is particularly suitable for use on inland waterways such as canals and locks. The boat is registered in France under registration number SG and has a valid "carte de circulation". Construction and hull The hull of this Narrowboat is made of steel and has additional protection below the waterline with stainless steel plates, providing an extra layer of durability against external influences. The boat was last taken out of the water in 2023, where an antifouling treatment was also carried out, contributing to the preservation of the hull and reducing algae and mussel growth. Interior and living space The interior of the boat is currently bare and offers space for personal customization. The standing height inside is 194 cm, allowing for comfortable movement on board. This makes the boat suitable for both recreational use and habitation. The layout can be adjusted according to personal preference, making this Narrowboat appealing to DIY enthusiasts or those looking to personalize a houseboat to their taste. Technology and propulsion The boat is equipped with a Lister inboard diesel engine with two cylinders, also from 1970. The engine is operational and has a fuel tank capacity of 100 liters. The cruising speed is around 7 km/h, with a maximum speed of approximately 10 km/h. The engine was checked in 2023, but the gearbox occasionally shows signs of slipping, which is a point of attention for future users. The boat has a single rudder and is equipped with an electric bilge pump. There is one anchor present, attached with a chain. The fuel tank gauge is the only measuring instrument available. Known points of attention There are some known points of attention to consider. The aft deck (plancher pont arrière) needs to be repaired to prevent water infiltration into the engine compartment, crucial for preserving the technical installations and hull structure. Additionally, the interior is not yet furnished, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on the design. The gearbox occasionally shows signs of slipping. Use and sailing area The boat has mainly been used on canals and locks, serving as both a pleasure craft and a houseboat. The current owner has fond memories of trips in the Vosges and Luxembourg, indicating that the boat is suitable for longer journeys on calm inland waters. Conclusion This Narrowboat 1000 provides a solid foundation for those seeking a characterful steel boat with opportunities for personal customization. With its compact dimensions and low air draft, it is ideal for use on narrow waterways. The boat requires some technical attention and finishing touches but simultaneously offers great potential for those looking for a project with room for personal input.
