Description
Tsanna is a spacious 70ft traditional stern narrowboat built by Alexander Boats, offering a comfortable layout ideal for those looking to live aboard or enjoy extended cruising. With a dedicated engine room and a classic boatman’s cabin, the vessel combines traditional narrowboat character with practical living space. Measuring 70ft by 6ft 10in and currently moored in Northamptonshire, Tsanna presents an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking life on the waterways.
Powered by a reliable Perkins D3 48hp three-cylinder diesel engine with PRM 160 gearbox and hospital silencer, the boat is designed for dependable cruising. The steel hull features a 10/6/4 plating specification with a flat bottom hull shape, while sprayfoam insulation helps maintain comfort in all seasons. The vessel has an approximate 40-gallon fuel tank and benefits from a recent engine and gearbox service completed in June 2025.
Hot water is supplied via a calorifier and Webasto system, while central heating is provided by Webasto alongside Morso Squirrel and Hobbit solid fuel stoves. A stainless steel water tank holds approximately 100 gallons, supporting extended stays aboard. The electrical system includes both 12v and 240v power, supported by a Sterling 1800w inverter, one starter battery and three leisure batteries. Three large solar panels with an MPPT controller provide additional energy efficiency, alongside a galvanic isolator and battery charge management system.
The accommodation comfortably sleeps up to six people with a fixed double bed, sofa bed and additional space in the traditional boatman’s cabin. The galley is equipped with an Indesit cooker and 12v ReVace fridge/freezer. The bathroom includes a Porta Potti toilet, shower and vanity basin.
Three side hatches and a cratch cover provide ventilation and useful access points. Tsanna has been well maintained, with hull blacking completed in May 2025 alongside a hull survey carried out the same month. The Boat Safety Certificate is valid until March 2030, giving peace of mind for future owners.
