Moored at Restronguet - near Truro, Cornwall.
adarrock@aol.com
07736 711628
for those who prefer metric, it's 38.7m long by 5.05m wide
FOR THIS SIZE AND SPECIFICATIONS YOU WONT FIND A BETTER BARGE AT THIS PRICE.
FOR A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH A BARGE THIS SIZE LOOK AT apolloduck id 102190 & www.thejubilant.com - the dimensions are almost identical but my main engine is a 260hp scania V8 and their engine is a General Motors engine the size of my bowthruster, a 360 degree controllable DAF 160hp. However, their decoration is beautiful and you can see from what they have achieved with theirs what would be achieveable with this one. For a little bit of money and a reasonable amount of effort you can add a considerable amount of value.
THE EXISTING CREW QUARTERS ARE BIGGER THAN THE FINISHED QUARTERS ON MANY OTHER LIVEABOARDS ADVERTISED ON LINE (DETAILED MEASUREMENTS BELOW) AND YOU STILL HAVE HOLD SPACE, EIGHTY FEET LENGTH , SEVENTEEN FEET WIDTH AND TWELVE FEET OF HEIGHT TO EXPAND INTO, WITH STAIR ACCESS ALREADY IN PLACE.
IF YOU FIND A SIMILAR PRICED ONE IN EUROPE THERE WILL BE 19% TAX PLUS MANY OTHER COSTS BEFORE YOU GET IT TO UK, IF YOU FIND A SIMILAR SIZE AND PRICED SHIP IN THE UK IT WILL PROBABLY BE A PILE OF JUNK OR A RUSTY HULK WITH NO ENGINES.
If you are comparing with a euro boat, there is NO TAX TO PAY on this ship but many European boats are subject to BTW (their VAT) at 19% on top of the asking price, notary fees (to get ownership transferred and deregister from purchase country) can be expensive too and then you have the hassle of getting across the channel for which you need a flat calm, less than force 4 wind, an engineer and a skipper - or your insurance wont be valid). Additionally, this ship has a survey which has already been accepted by GJW insurance in the UK, so that could save another 900 euros for a new acceptable survey against a similar european ship.
EXISTING CREW QUARTERS. CURRENTLY 2 BERTH (as there is currently only the one bed) BUT THE BOW CABIN COULD ACCOMMODATE MORE, AS COULD THE SALOON simply by adding a bed to the forepeak and some sofa beds or similar to the saloon.
HEADROOM 6Ft throughout the crew quarters
WHEELHOUSE: 6ft deep x 12ft wide, leading aft to: SALOON/ DINER 12ft wide X 14ft 5" long, with sink, gas cooker, electric fridge and cupboards.
leading aft to BEDROOM 12ft x 10ft with double door wardrobe 6ft high x 3ft wide and 20 inches deep, also smaller wardrobe 5ft high x 2ft 6 wide and 20 inches deep with 3 shelves, also open shelves and over bed storage locker, fixed double bed with storage under (no mattress).
Forward from the wheelhouse is an ANTE ROOM 4ft 6 x 5ft 6, leading to BATHROOM 6ft 6 x 4ft 6 (currently stripped out but I can reinstate it if purchaser requires, bath, sink and sea toilet are stored in the hold, as is a second cassette toilet) from ante room, steps lead down to HOLD, 80 feet long, 17ft wide and 12ft high. forward stairs lead to a second ANTE ROOM 12ft wide x 9ft deep, leading to BOW CABIN: 12ft wide x 6ft deep with two built in double wardrobes which are shelved.
ALL EQUIPMENT NOW INCLUDED IN SALE
GENERATORS: A SPARE 25kva VW generator in the hold. (THERE ARE TWO FITTED AND WORKING a 5kva and a 12kva lister and full 3 phase output, from 12v all the way up to 415v)
a one and a half tonne HI-AB CRANE (untested but believed okay)
WELDING KITS: An oxy acetylene welding kit with gas bottles on a trolley and a selection of welding and cutting heads.
An oxford oil cooled ARC welder.
An Oxford oil cooled MIG welder with double cable feeder and 15m reach hose (with unit midships you can almost weld both ends without moving it).
SPIRAL STAIRCASE: a steel spiral staircase and handrails stored in the hold , with mahogany treads stored in the bow cabin.
WATER TANKS: There is a 1000 litre plastic water tank and pump next to the bowthruster. there is also a steel one in the engine room
DECKLIGHTS: There is a quantity of 12v deck lights stored on the shelves in the bow cabin.
CREW QUARTERS: livable, with working cooker, sink and fridge, sockets and lights, bathroom stripped but easily reinstated, central heating radiators, not tested but works off a diesel burner in the engine room, the bow accommodation has an oil burner too.
Comfortable for a couple, with minor adaptation could accommodate more, separate from main hold, during conversion.
This 127ft by 17ft wide Belgian spits has recently traversed the North Sea, The channel and the Atlantic Coast to her current mooring at Penpol Boatyard at Restronguet in Cornwall. SURVEY (2008) and good hull report, she will float in 3 feet of water even though she is big enough to make a decent sized hotel barge or a massive luxury floating home.
Propulsion is from a brilliant 265hp Scania V8 diesel engine which made light of the journey and was surprisingly economical.
There is also a 360 degree 160hp DAF bowthruster which makes handling much easier than you might expect. As do the compass, gyro, autopilot and joystick controls. There are two sailor VHF radios - both working. Access to the hold is a walk through and straight staircase from the main accommodation and also up to the forepeak. Some of the aluminium hatches and coaming have been removed (the hatches are still aboard though, stacked and tied down on deck) and replaced with welded steel decking. The two lister generators provide 5kva and 12kva and span 110/220/ 380/415 between them.
The hold is huge and the ship could easily be adapted to give two levels of accommodation and have plenty of usable deckspace above.
