Narrowboat Cleeve Castle, 36 foot trad stern Hancock and Lane 1978. Quality build and has been well looked after.
Backed and hull survey May 2026 - hull is in great condition and shows very little loss of hull thickness despite age of boat. Small amount of corrosion above waterline on bow locker (where water is filled up) has been fixed as recommended on survey.
This has been our lovely home for 6 years. We're now ready for something a little bigger, but Cleeve is surprisingly spacious and well designed for a small boat.
