Narrowboat Hakuna Matata

Orion Narrowboats have a reputation for stylish shells of the highest quality. As bespoke builders, it is infre-quently that one becomes available in the second hand market. This gas free tug, fi tted out in part by Orion and completed by a professional joiner friend of the owner, is designed and proven as a live aboard. There is a host of extras – washer, dryer, dishwasher, diesel cooking. The storage is plentiful and the interior fi nish highly de-tailed. A splendid mahogany block fl oor, originally part of a sports hall, is offset by ex-tensive use of light oak whilst in the bedroom pale cream painted planking lines the walls in traditional style. The drive is hydraulic and, as the picture above demonstrates, delivers considerable power

when required.
