Progress so far...

We dressed the boat for our open day, using a few choice items (thanks Gumtree!) You can see the original tongue and groove boarding on the lower walls and galley upper walls with surplus softwood t and g on the ceiling. The original window frames have been refitted.

Talking toilets

An area of interest to all boaters. Managing your own waste comes with some interesting challenges. We decided to remove the existing dump-through toilet and (full) toilet tank (Zak and Jeremy are heroes!) the next decision is composting toilet or cassette...watch this space, but in the meantime here is a photo of the toilet we installed in another boat.

Open day

Our plan is to hire or lend/ hire out the boat for 'taster trips'. This could be for a day, an overnight stay or a few days. Our plan is to attract potential customers by giving them the opportunity to try boating before they commit to commissioning a bespoke boat from us.  This is part of a wider attempt to bring waterway activities to a wider population. The idea was popular at our open day with two groups signing up already! And what was really interesting was our visitors' thoughts about the decor: they were charmed by the re-purposing rather than put off by it.
