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.

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.Items being removed by the owners All artwork All books in the glass-fronted cabinet in the saloon Reeds Almanac and various charts and navigation books Brompton bicycles Burley trolley/trailer Tools in engine roomItems being left by the owners Pots and pans compatible with the induction hob Various crockery and cutlery and other kitchen utensils Two bar stools in the kitchen Sofa, chair with foot stool and the rug in saloon Radio and Freesat box in saloon Bed linens, pillows and bath towels for both cabins Tempur mattress in forward cabin, foam mattresses in aft cabin Wooden chairs and small table in bow locker Mooring pins, mallet and shore power cables and extensions under wheelhouse seat Spare filters and parts in the engine room Boat and domestic manualsExclusive Buyer BenefitsWhen you purchase a boat through Boat Showrooms of London or Boat Showrooms of Harleyford and keep it at Shepperton Marina, you unlock exceptional savings designed to make your first year effortless and rewarding.
