40ft Electric powered narrowboat sailaway
Newly rebuilt hull
Large capacity solar input
If silently cruising through the countryside, your enjoyment unsullied by the sound of a diesel engine is your idea of heaven, this may be the boat you’ve been looking for.
Having spent a great deal of time and money sorting out the hull (pictures available on request), we have installed a new 10kw electric motor which gives more than enough power to navigate the inland waterways and with the large array of solar panels, you’ll be able to do that powered by the sun.
In winter when the sunshine drops, you can top up the batteries using the built in battery charger which you can either connect to the shore power or a generator.
Inside, the boat is ready for fitout with a step down converter supplying 12v dc electricity to the fuse board. She’s ready for you to make your own.
We do not have old surveys for this boat, we are increasingly finding that other people’s surveys are a bit like Trip Advisor reviews; often fake or uselessly out of date, so here at Hemel Marina, we will lift the boat for free for your surveyor to carry out an inspection. If there is any underwater welding work that needs to be done as a result of your survey, in almost every case we will take care of it within the asking price. We have found this is the fairest and most reliable way of delivering a boat with a sound hull rather than you taking a chance with someone else’s dodgy survey. All the details will be confirmed in writing before we proceed.
There is no existing BSS and there is no mooring offered with this boat, hard standing may be possible (subject to availability). You can cruise the boat away from us, we are on the Grand Union Canal, around three days cruise to Central London, five days to Birmingham or four days to The Thames.
We can deliver anywhere in the UK by road (for a fee) and the boat is here (along with many others) at Hemel Marina, HP1 2RZ. We are open for viewings Monday-Friday 9-5 and Saturdays 9-3. Message me for a walk-through video.
