Hazel Street
A Narrowboat is Launched
On 24th June 1999 a new narrowboat was Delivered and Launched at Clifton
Cruisers on the North Oxford Canal at Rugby. This 58 ft Narrowboat,
to be called Hazel Street, is one of a series of brand new luxury Narrowboats
to join the Hire fleet at Clifton Cruisers. Over the next few weeks, Hazel
Street was be fitted out to become a Luxury 6 berth narrowboat, providing
an excellent means of exploring the waterways of England and Wales coupled
with a high standard of living accommodation.
The Semi-Traditional
style of Hazel Street couples the looks and profile of a traditional boat
with the large stern area of a cruiser style. This will enable several
boater's crew to sit together with the steerer. The boat will have a fixed
double bed, a dining area which will convert into a double bed and two
single bunks which can also be used as a double bed. There are also 2
pump-out toilets, a shower and a fully equipped kitchen. The Shell which
is made entirely of steel and weighing approximately 8.5 tons was constructed
by Falcon in Whitchurch, Shropshire and delivered by road. Following fit-out
and adding ballast it weighs in the region of 17 tons.
To hire Hazel Street or one of the other narrowboats in the fleet go to
Clifton Cruisers
or Hoseasons. |
