Canal Boat - BADGER - length 11.00m. (36ft.)

SCROLL DOWN FOR COMPLETE INTERIOR PICTURES OF THE NARROWBOAT
 

 
Badger is a compact but extremely well fitted out two berth canal boat particularly suitable for holidaying couples new to the experience of canal cruising.
However, it is necessary to point out that in order to provide increased area in the saloon, bow and cockpit, space has been restricted in the toilet and shower compartments. We recommend that potential hirers of "larger proportions" should consider one our larger two berth boats such as SHENTON or ASHBY, which we believe would be better suited to their requirements.
To those of you who may feel a little nervous about being in charge of a larger boat, a short hire on Badger could be the way of introducing yourself to canal cruising, as well as being a splendid break.
With its wood/coal burning stove and its reduced cabin size Badger is an extremely cosy narrowboat for those out of season breaks in the Autumn, Winter and Spring.

The image above shows the saloon arranged as a dining area, the table ca be removed to provide a more spacious sitting area.
Below the saloon is shown with the bed made up, and the stove lit, it is a cosy boat.
To the left is shown the toilet and shower, there is a wash hand basin in the toilet compartment.

PLEASE NOTE : The space in the toilet and shower is not generous and this boat is not suitable for some hirers, and we would recommend one of our larger two berth boats for some customers.
In the warmer weather, with the "cratch covers" down, the generous space in the cockpit can be used as extra living space.
