Arcrite Suncruiser - We're back on the canals :)

[SoulFireMage]

Having sold Dreamfinder about 7 years ago - a boat I still get to go out on occasionally I might add-we've decided to take the plunge and get another boat.

This time, on the canals and basically where we started with our first boat - the Grand Union Canal. We've always loved the looks of cruisers more than more traditional narrow boats, yet the practicality of the latter can't be faulted. So when we spotted "First Edition" - an Arcrite Suncruiser, I think we have, at least for us, an ideal solution as she's very pretty and cruiser like, but is steel and very solid.

So, I'll be lurking on these boards a bit more again

Not a craft I am familiar with but certainly attractive and individualistic.

Welcome back. Pretty boat, best of both worlds, I guess.

Thanks guys!

That's what we thought - I suspect she'll be very economical, compared to say Dreamfinder

They were built in Corby by Paul Steed, there is also a 36ft center cotpit version.
I still have the drawings I did for them, if you send a pm with Email Ill send you some info.
One of the writers on narrowboat world.com (something like that) has a pink one he took across the wash.

I'm thinking of buying a 38' Suncruiser, can you give me any tips?

Hi
I see you have some info on the Suncruiser.
I'm thinking of buying a 38' version that was called The Biz. If you have any info I'd be grateful.
