Built in 1999, Narrow Escape has a quality fit-out from a multi-prize-winning builder that has, as with other Warble boats, clearly stood the test of time. Designed with a cruiser stern and cratch-covered well deck, she is built in a traditional layout comprising an aft bedroom and forward saloon. The spacious bedroom offers a comfortable cross-bed double, along with a useful vanity unit and washbasin. The shower room is fitted with a quadrant shower, pump-out toilet, and washbasin. The galley is well equipped with gas cooking, an under-counter fridge, microwave, and a practical breakfast bar dining area. The forward saloon provides flexible accommodation, with two chair beds that can be arranged as either two singles or one double. Heating is provided by an Eberspacher diesel boiler, with a solid fuel stove offering additional warmth and charm. Hot water is supplied via the boiler, engine or immersion heater. 230V power is available via shoreline connection, a Sterling 1.6kW inverter, and a small solar panel trickle charging the cabin batteries. A bow thruster is installed, but was disconnected 12 years ago, however, this could be re-instated with some work to the electric supply.
