Narrowboat Hakuna Matata

Orion Narrowboats have a

reputation for stylish shells
of the highest quality. As
bespoke builders, it is infre-
quently that one becomes
available in the second hand
market. This gas free tug,
fitted out in part by Orion and
completed by a professional
joiner friend of the owner,
is designed and proven as a
live aboard. There is a host
of extras – washer, dryer,
dishwasher, diesel cooking.
The storage is plentiful and
the interior finish highly de-
tailed. A splendid mahogany
block floor, originally part of
a sports hall, is offset by ex-
tensive use of light oak whilst
in the bedroom pale cream
painted planking lines the
walls in traditional style. The
drive is hydraulic and, as the
picture above demonstrates,
delivers considerable power
when required.
