Kilgharrah is a craft that is at the cutting edge of modern canal boating. Built both for long term cruising and living aboard, it employs a hybrid propulsion and generator system. At the heart of this is a conventional Beta Marine 43hp diesel unit and the boat can indeed be used just as a conventional one, with the engine running and a normal Morse control lever. However, at the flick of a switch the drive becomes completely silent and electrically propelled, allowing you to slip silently along the waterways on a quiet day accompanied only by the sound of nature.
The shell of this boat is by the highly regarded Tim Tyler, and the fitting out by the Nantwich Canal Centre. The wood is ash, with the upper cabin sides painted in off white. This creates a light and modern feel with a sense of space. The galley sports granite worktops and a Belfast sink, with an inset 4 ring ceramic hob. There is also an eye level oven and microwave. The 5kW inverter provides ample power to operate these units. Furthermore the hybrid engine when running on diesel generates electrical power.
Moving on from the galley there is a breakfast bar and an open plan saloon, with a compact multi fuel stove installed. A walk-through shower room follows, with a stylish quadrant shower and a pump out wc. Finally the bedroom cabin, which has a permanent double berth that easily extends to a 4ft 6in width.
This truly stunning craft is only for sale because the owner’s work has meant relocating to Scotland.
