Brief history of 'Elsie'Provided by the the present owners; Purchased in 2017. Began cruising the Thames in 2018. Travelled up the Grand Union Canal to her original builder, Delta Marine, in Warwick in late 2018. Kitchen and aft cabin were completely remodelled by Delta Marine in 2019. Kitchen remodelling included reconfiguring the space while matching the mahogany cabinetry and adding granite worktops and all new Bosch appliances including an induction hob and dishwasher. The aft cabin was expanded and new storage added, again matching the existing mahogany woodwork. Concurrent refurbishment included new flooring and carpeting throughout, exterior repainting, and full service of engine, generator, and bow thruster. From 2019 to 2023, we cruised the non tidal River Thames. In 2021 we travelled on the tidal Thames through London to Queenborough and onto the River Medway. In 2022 we took an amazing trip across the English Channel and cruised the canals and rivers of Belgium and the Netherlands. In 2024 we took Elsie to the Isle of Wight and enjoyed her whilst being berthed in Newport Harbour.
