Scarborough Pair Narrowboat Complete
I do try to keep our Facebook account updated more frequently than the blog as it’s a little quicker for me to sort out - you’ll find photos of our next build on their at the moment. So, if you can, check out our Facebook page and if you like what you see make sure you ‘Like’ us too! We also encourage customer posts and comments as it’s always good to hear feedback.
Anyhow here’s a few photos of the completed narrowboat Scarborough Pair – owners Richard and Monica took her out for a cruise in early December and were thrilled with her. The extending dinette requested by Richard has already proved popular, the bespoke boat build after next will also be having the same style of dinette.

Front cabin leading out onto the bow of the boat. The cross bed flap design makes it quick and simple to make up - no more struggling with pulling out extending frames!

Over bed storage with curved cabinet around porthole. The curved base section is made out of solid oak and takes about a day and half to make!

Again looking through to the bathroom. A large custom made mirror has been fitted to the bulkhead to create a feeling of extra space.

Looking from the bathroom towards the stern. This photo was taken before the soft furnishings were put in place.

For additional storage space we created a small cupboard opposite the main galley. As we didn't have room for a drawer unit we built a small pull out drawer inside to hold cutlery

Finally with both seats extended and table extension in place ready to seat six. The table also drops down to the same level as the seats to form a huge cross bed.

The saloon situated at the stern of the boat with just enough space to accommodate two leather recliners!

The stern steps - we've had lots of positive comments about this particular arrangement of steps. The base of each cupboard contains a large storage area - you can just make out the access doors at the bottom of the photo.

The lids of the steps are made out of thick solid oak and are hinged to access more storage space under. The top step has been divided in two to accommodate mooring pins and windlasses

Access doors on the cupboard fold into each other. Therefore half can be accessed from the rear deck when cruising and the cupboard nearest to the camera can be accessed when inside the boat.
