Kalypso has been a lovely home for the last 9 years. She is a 50 ft cruiser stern narrowboat built by Hancock and Lane in 1976.
She is being sold as a project boat as the interior is mostly empty due to me ripping out lots of mdf and there is some water damage from the odd leaky window. There is however a kitchen with a gas cooker, fridge, sink and running water and a paloma water heater. There is also a bathroom with a shower in a small bath plus a wash basin.
In the empty living area is a log burner plumbed into a radiator in the bedroom
The engine is an air cooled Lister SR3 which is 18 horsepower and runs soundly
Kalypso also has a 375 watt solar panel (Sunpower, SPR-MAX3-375-BLK) and an mppt dual battery solar charge controller which happily charges 2 lithium ion leisure batteries (LiFe P04 12v 100Ah Li100-12) and 1 lead acid starter battery
There is 12 volt electricity throughout the boat and also a 240 volt hookup which, due to never entering a mariner, I have never used. There is a 300 watt inverter on board though
She's just passed the BSC examination which will now expire in 2028
Kalypso was last out of the water in 2022 for blacking and there didn't seam to be any signs of deep pitting
The last hull survey was in 2015 and two small patches were overplated
Kalypso needs a little TLC but would be a lovely home for 1 or 2 people!!
