Patricia Helen, Shell was built by Colecraft and fitted out by Kate Boats, she has curves, storage space galore and light wood with modern furnishings.
Sleeping up to 9 people, she is a 65 foot semi-traditional narrowboat with a 5 foot well deck providing an outside seating area.
Once inside there is a large lounge, and dinette which converts to a double bed and a single, with a spacious galley beyond. The galley holds a four ring gas hob, cooker, stainless steel sink, and under bench fridge with freezer compartment.
Further down are two cabins with bunks, one also having a toilet and washbasin. On past the large side hatch and spacious wardrobe is a bathroom, with second toilet and shower. Behind this is a fixed double bed.
Steps lead up to the semi-traditional stern area. The engine is fitted to the highest possible standard, and a ‘hospital silencer’ on the exhaust.
