Every European summer, for three months, we explore the rivers, canals and towns of Western Europe in our 18m barge, Yavanna. Yavanna is a English wide boat and was built by Pickford & Arnold in Yorkshire. Her first owner who had her built, was by profession a cabinet maker which resulted in the wonderful interior. All the cupboards are made from cherry wood and the tongue and grove ceiling and walls are from Cedar.

The wheelhouse


Our wheelhouse is completely demountable and our maximum height including the solar collectors is 3.85 metres. We have done all the famously low bridges in France and have yet to have reason to demount it. There is a fold down wooden table and seats if we wish to eat indoors and the front large window folds down easily to allow cool air on hot summer days. We just pop the old cushion underneath it. Two large tools boxes can be seen underneath it.
