ACORN!
where memories are created ...
Acorn is a Stern Cruiser Narrowboat, built in 2002 by the very reputable J&D Boat builders. She is 49 feet long, although she likes to say she's 50 feet! She has a fixed double berth at the Stern and in the front 'living' area the dining seating pulls out to provide another double sleeping area. There is a large open seating area in the bow (front) where you can also put a table up, and also a large open area at the Stern (back). She has a large galley (kitchen) area unlike a lot of boats, and a walk in shower in the reasonable sized bathroom, along with a pump out toilet and sink.
There is a tv that will play not only DVD's but also CD's, along with a wind up radio, so you need never be without music!
As the electrical system on Acorn operates on a 12 volt basis I have tried to keep 240 volt to a minimum, she does have a 1,000 kw inverter on board, which is plenty to charge those modern day necessities, such as mobile phones, lap tops and the likes of!
And should you be thinking of hiring Acorn in the not so warm months, fear not, she has very efficent gas heating on board and hot water is never a problem!
Below I have thrown together a rough idea of Acorn's layout, although it is not to scale as such, other than overall length, but it certainly gives you the overall idea. When I have a chance I will try to get a more detailed diagram up with the exact location of everything on board. Please note the blacked out areas are where certain systems are housed and these do not have direct access.
I really do want your time on board Acorn to be special, for you to not miss your home comforts, so I'm doing everything I can to make that happen ... the only thing you have to do is book her!
