Narrowboat

Sarah Willingham from Dragon's Den has taken her children (4 I think) on a round the world boat trip...probably a motor yacht and is home schooling them.

Thank you. Nothing so exciting as the strait of Hormuz ?
Just leaving our mooring to spend a year in France.
Al the way down to the med. On the way back a detour to Alsace Lorraine.
Why did we sell up?
That's us. Let's do something different.
I would love to show you pics of the inside but it's still someone's home and that's private.
The person who bought it is one of the most respected people in the film/ camera/ stunt world. Marc Wolff.
I meant to say leaving our mooring on the Essex coast.

Well Petra, I envy you that experience in the nicest possible way. How wonderful and the photo just radiates 'adventure'.

For a couple I would recommend at least a 32ft boat. Depends just how much room they need. I build narrowboats and have worked on many. If there ok for money then I would recommend buying new. Generally with a nice layout basic but efficent I can do a 32ft new build ready to live on for about 42k. That includes everything. It can have a permanent bed or could have one that you make yourself. I would always recommend a permanent bed as it makes life that bit easier. If they decide to buy a used boat and they see one that they like make sure that a survey is done. May cost a few hundred. But if the hull needs overplating it could end up costing thousands. I've seen it so many times. I once overplayed a 70ft boat. After me overplating and a full refurb plus the cost of buying the boat in the first place it came to 115k. I could of made a brand new one for that price. Just be careful as it can be a mine field for first time boat owners. If anyone needs any help or advice I'm here to help.
