Description

After 7 happy years we’ve decided to upsize and move back to land. Therefore it’s with great sadness that we are listing our beloved ‘Sundragon’ for sale - but we hope someone else falls in love with it the way we did!

Sensible offers considered - looking for a quick sale.

### Highlights ###

- Beautiful exterior, characterful dragon-themed design
- Custom handpainted ‘Sundragon’ items (water jug, stool, newspaper holder) and other beautiful canal art throughout
- Extra thick hull - 8mm on sides rather than the standard 6mm
- 670W solar array with an MPPT controller large enough to add more
- Excellent layout & internal space
- Boat surveyed & blacked + 6 new anodes fitted all in December 2023. Survey available on request
- BSS expires April 2028
- Chance to move into Battlebridge Moorings (Kings Cross) subject to availability + passing application process - we have absolutely loved it there! Get in touch quickly if you're interested in this
- Set up for life at a marina or out on the cut - we’ve done both
- We have the manuals for most of the important stuff (engine, gearbox, gas heater, water pump etc)
