ABOUT ME

OUR CURRENT BOAT

FELIS CATUS III

FC3 - general appearance

Felis Catus III is a boat we decided to have built in order to sell up ashore, live aboard her and cruise full-time. This plan is long-seated. Our previous boat datesd from 1990 and we always saw it as a stepping stone to what we eventually wanted.

In June 2003 we had a design brief ready and the money available, and started looking for a boatbuilder. The following month we decided that Orion Narrowboats (at Ashwood on the Staffs and Worcs) were the ones we wanted, and clinched the deal with them. We originally expected completion of the boat in August or September 2005. We finally moved aboard just before Christmas 2005.
