THE BUILDING OF 'SLOW PACE'


A 60’ semi-trad, reverse layout, bespoke designed narrowboat with shell built by Reeves
and fit-out by Heartwood Narrowboats.



This is a blog of the building and fit-out of the Narrowboat Slow Pace from base plate to launch.
The more recent postings are pictures taken during our cruising.






Galley & Beds

11 September 2008

On our latest visit to Heartwood we find the galley is progessing and a start has been made on the beds and wiring up the electrics cupboard.

The galley takes shape.

The doors are being hand made and curved to match the wortop template profile.

Our oven is in place!

Small, but perfectly formed!

Port side carcassing has been started.....

....and so have the beds!


Installation of the electrical equipment has also commenced.
