General comments by vendor
It has met that & more but i've discovered that i think twice before jumping on & off locks & boat that was easy peasy & second nature years ago.
The boat is a good workable length at 50 foot & handles nicely.
Typically strong J Pinder build in good steel.
Over winter period she will be re-engined ( New Beta 38) & docked Feb 2020 with full hull & boat Safety Inspection + blacking.
Membership of the group & time on board has been rewarding & enjoyable
I've re-discovered the canals redeveloped & used old skills met some interesting characters, old mates & made new friendships.
Further Details as email or phone.
