Latest Fit-out

NB Beowulf

NB Beowulf is a 57ft cruiser style narrowboat, carefully designed to allow space for a wheelchair to manouvre as required.  The boat is fitted out in reverse layout with oak veneered linings above the gunwales & vertical solid oak T&G below the gunwales, white painted T&G headlinings, solid oak cabinets etc and Karndean floors throughout (non-slip Amtico in the wet room).  The galley has Shaker style cupboards complimented by a baby Belfast sink and dramatic red Silestone worktops.  The bathroom is a full width wet room.  Heating is supplied by an Alde Compact heater to radiators as well as a solid fuel corner Bubble stove in the dinette.  Unusually D&J Narrowboats completed the internal fitout only on the owners' own sailaway (delivered as a bare shell with engine, bowthruster & lift installed), which was then cruised to the painter's workshop for the exterior to be painted & signwritten.

As always, we very much enjoyed working to a very individual specification and seeing our customers' dreams come to life.

NB: Some of the photos shown below were taken with a wide-angle lens, which has the unfortunate effect of curving some of the vertical lines

Special attention has been paid throughout to ensure sufficient floorspace for owner's wheelchair. Entry at stern is by hydraulic lift, with inverter & circuit breaker panels inside cupboards to port.

Single width dinette has extending table & converts to single guest berth.  Side doors both sides have glazed inner doors

Left: Under gunwale cupboards are kept clear of the floor, as is the pipework for the radiators.

Right: Corner Bubble solid fuel stove is installed to new Regulations, with lined flue etc, set on a large slate hearth stone in a tiled surround.

Galley has baby Belfast sink set into red Silestone worktop.  Hob is mounted lower than usual to suit the owner's requirements.

Wet room style bathroom, with Amtico flooring, has Dometic cassette toilet, wall mounted basin with mixer tap, and airing cupboard.  Wide doorways to suit owner's requirements.

Bedroom has folding cross-cabin bed, with drawers to fixed bench seat forming foot of bed.  Wall hung cabinets give good storage whilst leaving the floor clear.
