Our Birchwood cruiser comes complete with a much sought after mooring in the centre of Narbonne,France on the canal du Robine with quick access to the canal du Midi, or the Mediterranean.The hull is strongly constructed of GRP, engine and gearbox are serviced with a 3 month mechanical defect guarantee. A matched 4 bladed Equipoise propeller drives her smoothly, she's very manoeuvrable and easily handled by one person. She has lockable side doors for security. The dinghy shown in the photograph is NOT included. A used Yamaha 9.9 hp outboard IS included.She's sold as a complete 'Turn Key package' including freshly laundered bedding for 2 people, pots, pans, cutlery, full 13kg bottle of gas and ready to move on-board and start your holidays, simply turn the key and begin to cruise through the largest vineyard in the world.She was lifted out 2 years ago, anti-fouled and all anodes replaced. The hull is protected by 5 coats of International Gelshield.1 main tank & 2 long range tanks with electrical transfer pump hold 450 litres of diesel.  2 interior polished 316 grade Stainless steel tanks hold a total of 450 litres of potable water, for safety all pipework and fittings to 'food grade'.  A 75 litre insulated immersion heater tank supplies hot water to all outlets.The toilet compartment has a regulable anti-scald shower, w. h.b and electric toilet.The aft cabin has a double bed with brand new, unused winter/summer mattress, wardrobe, vanity unit and en suite manual toilet & w.h.b.The boat's very straight & genuine, she'll make a very comfortable retirement home/family holiday investment. Availability of cheap flights from local airports mean that trips home are as cheap as chips.If you are genuinely interested in our boat and visit via Ryanair/EasyJet flight to inspect her, we will refund the cost of flight (with proof) for 1 person TO THE SUCCESSFUL BUYER.This is a great boat, very comfortable, economical  (with full tanks she can go all the way to Bordeaux and back), there are no known faults and no future costly outlay. A vignette (cruising permit) for the French canals costs approx. 150 Euro's per year and the port mooring, including electricity, water and camera security costs approx. 1,400 Euro's per year.Compare that to a South of England marina, even including flights its still much cheaper, with the fine wine, food and sun thrown in for good measure. p.s Table wine is about 1.50/2.0 a LITRE from a cave.Panicking about Brexit ? no need to worry, a boat is classed as 'being in transit' and outside any rules of residency.If you have any questions or queries please contact me, via eBay to avoid scams.Keys and registration documents will be handed over to the new owner immediately funds are confirmed by bank transfer.After payment received by the bank the boat can be delivered anywhere in Western Europe at base cost, payable in advance.Come and GRAB SOME ADVENTURE BEFORE DEMENTIA ! !
