General comments about the boat |
Ellen is a comfortable stylish
58’semi trad launched in 2006. Originally commissioned by the
Boatshare Company but privately managed by the owners since 2007.
A management committee of Chair and or Boat manager, secretary, and
treasurer are elected at the AGM, when the owners meet to discuss
plans for repairs and renewals for the year ahead and set the annual
maintenance contribution.
Ellen has been recently refitted in Light Oak with a contemporary
finish and a tongue and groove effect off white eggshell painted
ceiling incorporating chrome down lighters. (All fittings are chrome
or brushed steel internally).
The bedroom is at the stern and includes an extending double bed
with a high quality orthopaedic memory foam topped mattress with
double drawers underneath.
Additional storage is provided by over bed cupboard and a single
wardrobe. The floor is oak laminate with storage steps to the stern.
The wet cupboard and electrics/non domestic storage cupboards are
either side of the steps. Ellen has an 1800w inverter with 240v
sockets to all areas and a shoreline.
The bedroom leads to a walk through bathroom with a tiled floor, the
toilet is a 12v macerating toilet with fresh water flush and remote
pump-out tank The WC has a separate door which can be used without
closing off the corridor. The shower is concealed by a bi fold door
giving the appearance of a corridor when not in use, Both doors can
be opened to make a large bathroom incorporating a thermostatically
controlled fully tiled shower with bi-fold glass doors, vanity unit
with designer vessel basin and pillar tap.
The tiled flooring continues in the galley, which has a full range
of base units both sides providing ample storage. There is a Vanette
gas eye level grill and oven with electric 12v fridge under, the
matching gas hob is set into the wood edged laminated worktops at an
angle giving a pleasant L-shape to the end of the galley.
The galley is very well equipped with Microwave, toaster, steamer,
crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment for a crew of six.
The very full domestic inventory also includes a Henry Vac.
The side doors have fully glazed inner windows.
An additional make up double berth is provided by the raised
dinette, which also provides storage for bedding with drawers and
cupboards on the saloon side.
Duvets and pillows are provided and replaced regularly.
The saloon has two comfy armchairs, which convert, into single
berths, an LCD TV with DVD and Freesat satellite receiver. A large
collections of DVD’s are stored in a unit under the wall mounted TV.
There is also a single wardrobe in this area.
A Mikuni boiler supplies the central heating with a solid fuel stove
providing additional heating in the colder months.
The saloon is fully carpeted; storage steps lead to the bow deck
where the gas locker is located.
Ellen is fully equipped for canal cruising. The engine is serviced
every 200 hours (roughly every five-six weeks) during the season to
an agreed service schedule by the local engineer, we are also Gold
members of RCR.

General Comments by vendor
|
We have enjoyed three wonderful
years on Ellen. The standard of 'fit-out' is extremely high and the
full size shower is very welcoming.
The semi trad stern offers some break from the weather and can be
handy at keeping children under supervision whilst cruising.
There is a diesel boiler for central heating and gas for the hob and
oven.
The other owners are very friendly crowd and all meet at our October
AGM.
If you are new to boating and purchase our share I am happy to spend
a day with you on your first voyage. |
