Pyrus

Pyrus is a stunning boat. Yes, she floats, but she is more like a country cottage than a boat. She is a 62’ trad commissioned in 2009 and was, unsurprisingly, the Crick Boat Show Winner in 2008. Built on an elegant Tim Tyler shell she was uniquely fitted out by William Piper in a style that exudes charm.

The large front deck (5’4”) offers generous outside space and has both storage and the 675 litre stainless steel water tank underneath.

The step into the saloon is made of elm, and cleverly retracts under the front deck to maximise space. The saloon houses a large futon (converts to spare double berth), a couple of Ottomans for additional seating/storage, a solid fuel stove, & storage cupboards & shelves. There is also a TV & Bluray box. A side hatch in here adds light and air.

Beautiful stained glass doors lead into the 8’ galley. The worktops are made from 2” thick reclaimed elm and the elegant Heritage range has a large hotplate and an oven for cooking. This is diesel fired, so the boat is gas free. There is also a microwave on board. The Belfast sink sits next to the 230v larder fridge, and a side hatch and large pigeon box add light and air.

Aft of the galley is the cosy fixed double bed area. This has storage underneath.

Even the bathroom feels very cottagy. The taps are brass, an elegant shower sits over the bath, and the  Thetford cassette loo is nicely squirrelled away in a wooden thunderbox. The towel rail is made from copper pipes.

A door leads into the engine room where the Greaves sits. There are two side hatches in here as well as a pigeon box. The 4 domestic batteries (NEW) sit under the floor and the calorifier is in a port side cupboard. The cupboard above this is either an airing cupboard or where you could put a washing machine (it has plumbing & power).

The very traditional back cabin is last. Traditionally grained, this has a 4’ wide cross bed. There is also a premier range and plenty of storage under the couch. and in the cupboards.

She was last blacked in February 2025, and she has just been repainted. All the lighting is LED and 230v is from either the landline or the 1600w inverter. She is centrally heated by the Heritage range which, together with the engine, also heats the hot water.

A beautiful, well loved and superbly presented boat. She will make some lucky person very happy.
