Whippet Express

Whippet Express presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious and well-equipped narrowboat. This vessel benefits from the recent installation of four new anodes in 2022 and underwent blacking and a full service in April 2023. Additionally, a new Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) certificate is currently pending, offering further peace of mind to prospective buyers.

Externally, Whippet Express features a modest and calming pale green paint scheme. However, stepping inside reveals a vibrant and eclectic interior. Upon entering through the stern doors, you are welcomed into the first cabin, which includes a fixed single berth, ample storage cupboards, and a highly practical washing machine/dryer.

Adjacent to this is a utility-style room, complete with a washbasin, additional storage, and a hanging rail for clothing. Moving forward, the central section of the boat houses a fixed double berth with a wall-mounted television above, providing a comfortable and cozy sleeping area.

Next to the bedroom is the bathroom, which is creatively decorated and tiled. It includes a second washbasin, a pump-out toilet, and a corner shower cubicle.

At the bow of the boat lies a generous open-plan galley and saloon. The galley is well-appointed with extensive work surfaces, numerous storage cupboards, and all essential kitchen appliances, including an oven, hob, fridge, and microwave.

The saloon is cheerful and full of character, featuring a solid-fuel stove, a large sofa, a dining table with stools, and steps leading up to the double bow doors. The bow deck itself is sheltered by a cratch cover and includes bench seating with integrated locker space.

On the roof, six solar panels are installed, supported by an MPPT solar charge controller, enhancing the boat’s energy efficiency and off-grid capabilities.
