REMARKS
"Westerner II" was purchased by her present owner in 1999. She was subsequently given a complete refit and then motored to Calais and into the French canal system until 2008. She has recently been moored on the Norfolk Broads for 6 years and is now berthed at Tollesbury marina in Essex. Her owners describe her as being very comfortable to live aboard, her engine has proved to be very reliable and £8000 has recently been spent on upgrades including a bow thruster to make life a little easier.
