Description

‘Purple Heron’ is a distinctive 58ft Semi-Traditional narrowboat, built by ABC Leisure Group in 2008. While she may retain the looks of a former hire boat, her current owners have invested extensively in modern upgrades since acquiring her in early 2024 — transforming her into a comfortable and efficient liveaboard or cruising vessel. Recent upgrades include: 3 x new 435W solar panels for enhanced off-grid capability, 4G wireless routers, new batteries, new pram and cratch covers, and new water pumps.
