Update - Life's too Short will be on sale at Tingdene Thames and Kennet Marina, early in June 2022

We're Changing Our Boat!

After almost 6 years with Life's too Short we have decided we want to try the canal network, this means buying a narrowboat! We've spent quite a lot of time researching the options (something I hope to document online sometime) and we've booked a build slot with Finesse Boats. Delivery won't be until early 2024 so we have plenty of time to decide exactly what we want, but current plans are for:

• 62' Cruiser Stern
• Reverse layout (bedroom at the bow, bathroom, lounge, pullman diner and galley at the stern)
• Serial hybrid (electric motor, large lithium battery pack, 9kW diesel generator)
• 10kW inverter, full mains power on board, no need for gas

Lots more detail to work through of course, I hope to blog it as we go!

What does this mean for our Viking 295? Well obviously we need to sell Life's too Short to raise funds towards the new boat (name is TBD) but there's no rush, we'll carry on using and caring for her. However, if someone was seriously interested in a V295 and didn't want to wait for a new one to be built then we would consider selling early so she could be available spring 2022 - feel free to contact me to discuss if you want to.
