Introducing 'Faith', a 38ft Springer narrow boat with a permanent mooring on the sought after Springfield Marina.
This is on the beautiful Walthamstow marshes and opposite Springfield Park and the Lea Valley Rowing Club, where you can grab a great coffee and a Sunday roast!
It has a candy oven, two gas hobs, double bed, Boatman wood burner, 12v dimmable touch lights, open wardrobe space, a Logic fridge freezer which is currently 240v, but there is also a 12v plug behind it so you can change it if you so desire. There is no shower at the moment, but all the plumbing is there and ready for an easy install. She also has an automatic bilge pump and leisure battery. She has a lovely sized deck, perfect for sitting out amd enjoying meals throughout spring/summer.
The pictures were taken just before the final bit of the floor was painted. It's all painted now.
She was surveyed in 2022 and since then the following recommended work has been completed:
The entire hull, including the baseplate and the uxter plate have been over plated in 5 min steel and 3 coats of blacking applied.
The coatings in the engine bay and inspection hatch have been cleaned and renewed.
She also has new self draining decks, new deck boards and new tiller and rudder bearings.
It went back into the water in April 2023 and will not need to come out of the water again for another two years, for the usual maintenance reblacking.
She has a very recent boat safety certificate, which will not need to be renewed until April 2028.
The engine is a Lister Petter Marine 2 cylinder parson gearbox, which has been decommisioned. This can be fixed and reinstated, but they are also highly sought after if you wanted to sell it and replace with a different angine.
Marina facilities include laundry, bar/clubhouse, showers and toilets, waterpoints, fuel. There are weekly yoga classes and music/craft/seasonal events in the clubhouse.
I am very sad to see her go but I am no longer based in London. She has served me well across the last few years and hoping she can give someone else the same joy that she gave me.
She can be boarded straight away.
(Price includes the Marina's 10% mooring transfer fee.
