Description

Introducing “Johncy,” a stunning 56ft Cruiser narrowboat, expertly built by Harborough Marine. This vessel exudes style from its stern to its bow, offering a unique charm for canal living.

Johncy boasts a robust construction with a steel plating specification of 10/6/4 and a flat-bottom hull. At the heart of Johncy is its reliable Isuzu 42hp engine, paired with a PRM 150 gearbox. For hot water and heating, it features a Calorifier system, though the vessel has a Webasto central heating system it is not in use. A solid fuel stove is also present, and the boat has a substantial 500-litre water tank capacity.

The electrical system is equipped with both 12v and 240v capabilities, a Victron 12/500 Pure Sine Wave Inverter. Power is supplied by one 12v starter battery and four 110amp leisure batteries. Additionally, four solar panels are installed, managed by a Victron battery monitor. A Beaudens portable power station (166wh/52000mAh) is also included.

The galley is fitted with a Stoves 500 DIT cooker and a Starling fridge/freezer, operating on 12v. For convenience, a Berkey Water Filter is also part of the galley setup. Accommodation on board includes space for four berths, with a fixed double bed or day bed and an additional sofa bed. The bathroom features a Porta Potti toilet, a shower, and a vanity basin, with a walkthrough design.

Johncy’s vessel history indicates a Boat Safety Certificate valid until November 2028 and has been blacked in May 2024. An additional feature is a sliding bus window in the kitchen.

Currently moored in Gloucestershire, there is the possibility of a mooring on the beautiful Stroudwater Canal, subject to separate negotiation.
