ARKHOLME THE SECOND • 57ft 6in, Narrowbeam Dutch Barge, 2+2 berths.

About this boat

Arkholme The Second was fitted out in 2005 by the first owner on a shell from Soar Valley. Her elegant Dutch barge style exterior, complemented by a folding canvas cover that replicates a wheelhouse, offers excellent protection for the helmsman and gives the feel of a small ship rather than a narrowboat. The interior is in a desirable REVERSE LAYOUT, featuring a forward private bedroom with an adjoining walk through shower room with cassette toilet and washbasin. Both the shower room and galley are finished in a light, modern style using easy-care tiled and painted surfaces. With proven liveaboard credentials, the boat is equipped with a washer/dryer and combined fridge/freezer. 230V power is supplied via the landline connection or Victron 3kW inverter/120A charger. Heating is provided by a Webasto diesel boiler complemented by a solid fuel stove, with hot water supplied by the engine, boiler and immersion. Propulsion is via a Beta 43hp diesel engine housed in a sound-proofed compartment, enhanced by a hospital-type silencer and a sophisticated Aquadrive coupling to minimise noise and vibration, ensuring a peaceful cruising experience.
