Narrow boat SOVEREIGN,
If you want a page like this for your boat, a form for you to complete is here.

Much loved 58' rear galley semi trad. Layout from rear:

Semi-trad stern with seating & gas locker. Door & steps (sanded & not steep) down to galley, with microwave, full size gas hob, oven & grill (new 3 or 4 years ago), 12V fridge, sink, drainer, worktop with pan stand, storage space & extra fold-up worktop.

Solid fuel stove, then raised dinette (converts to double berth), with side hatch opposite.

Through dividing door & along corridor to bathroom, with pump-out freshwater flush toilet (new holding tank 2007), spacious corner bath with good shower over), corner wash basin & copious storage. Wet locker / wardrobe in corridor, next to GCH boiler.

Through next connecting door to fixed double berth (extends to 5' width), with drawers below & two wardrobes with shelves above.

Through connecting door to front cabin / lounge with en-suite toilet & sink. Lounge area features 2 comfortable chair-beds, satellite TV / video & CD stereo, wardrobe and storage.

Out through front doors to cratch, with cover, storage & large fresh water tank (200 litres, I think).

Engine is water-cooled, with hospital silencer. Sovereign has benefited from many refinements over the years & deserves another caring owner.

(Note from boatshare - I have driven Sovereign, and she is a joy)

Running costs 2007 (including management)	£327.81 running costs for boat & £357.20 management fees, both fully paid for 2007.

Notes: -

Bookings: -

Guaranteed 2 weeks peak season (April - September)& 1 week off peak (October - March), plus extra weeks. For 2008, the owner of this share will have first pick of all of the other 16 weeks, though booking ALL of them would not be recommended!

A rolling rotation means that all owners of standard (non-school holiday special) shares get their turn to pick their weeks first, after those with school holiday shares have booked their school holiday weeks.

As an added bonus, the buyer of this (standard) share is less likely to be stuck in queues for locks, as you're less likely to be boating during school holidays, although Sovereign's often free over Christmas.

This is a standard share, and isn't ideal for people who can only use the boat during school holidays

Moorings: -

Etruria this year (2007) . May move in the Spring. Buy the share before our owners' meeting on 6th October, and have your say as to where she's based next year!
