Deciding on the Layout

Well today was spent at home deciding exactly what we do and don't need and the layout of our narrowboat, ( LORIMAR )
we have decided that we would like a reverse layout and a 58' Semi Traditional Hull.
Galley at the stern leading to open plan living room with breakfast bar at the end of the galley as we both agree a diner would be a waste of precious space with just the two of us,
central arched door leading into a walk through bathroom exit on starboard side leading to our bedroom.
We think the Girls ( Deefer & Daisy ) will be able to sleep in the cratch and we can keep an eye on them when in bed.


Tech Stuff so far
  • As I said 58' Semi Trad
  • Beta 43 BHP Green line engine with twin alternators
  • 2500w / 120 amp vicron inverter
  • 6 x 110 AH Leisure batteries
  • 1 x 110 AH Starter battery
  • Webasto Heating System
  • BMV 501 Battery Monitor
  • Spray Foam Insulation
  • Lockgate Diesel Stove (chrome)
  • Cratch and Cover
  • Cassette Vacuum Toilet System

Now the hard job of deciding which of the many builders we have visited can do what we want !
