VAGABOND has provided very comfortable and convivial accommodation, for our life afloat over the last 7 years. She is currently moored in Auxerre.
She is 17.4m long and easily cruised UK rivers, canals and coastal waters, before crossing the Channel to explore French and Belgian waterways. Her streamlined hull shape together with demountable wheelhouse (not ever needed to be lowered along all the routes we have travelled) brings admiring glances and compliments wherever she goes.
A practical and sociable layout makes for comfort and easy entertaining whatever the season.
This lovely replica Dutch barge, built in the UK by the renowned boat builder Piper Boats Ltd, is fully equipped ready for immediate cruising and enjoyment. Included in the sale is an Inflatable dinghy, with Minn Kota electric outboard and battery pack.
