Reference: | Foreward |
Foreward is a well known boat on the Inland Waterways, owned by the well known canal artist, Dusty Miller.
Dusty commissioned the build of this boat by G.M Engineering, builders of many fine traditional style boats, easily recognizable by the fine lines of the bow.
The boat benefits from a recent survey and blacking in 2025.
Entering from the tug deck you drop down into a comfortable saloon which has a real cottage feel. Under the tug deck is open storage as well as room for sleeping. The saloon has 2 bed chairs, multi fuel stove and cupboards either side of the bow doors.
Going astern there is the galley, off corridor bathroom , engine room housing the Lister HA2 and all service's.
At the stern is boatman's cabin, witch cleverly uses space for a fixed double bed, whilst retaining the essential boatman's cabin feel and character.
