From the companion way on port side few steps down to the corridor, on the aft the old single bed cabin has been transformed into an utility room, the washbasin is still in place. The original single berth was 0.70x1.85 and headroom is 1.86 here.
Headroom in this corridor is 1.86m. Further toward the saloon, on star board the mid ship double berth cabin with a double berth (1.25x1.76) and ensuite manual heads and washbasin (headroom is 1.87m) the shower is located opposite the cabin with headroom of 1.70m.
Back to the corridor, on the port side the galley equipped with 4 gas burner cooker, grill and oven oven work top and sink, below one refrigerator (220v) and another one opposite (12V) giving extra capacity. The original lay out has been modified, the original dinette has been removed giving the space for the sofa seat, and a small table with 2 chairs are replacing the huge fixed dinette. The floor too is new and easy to maintain. The cockpit fixed bunch has been removed too and our vendor has made this wood plank steps instead, serving as a seat but also as a step to help doing the manoeuvre in locks.

Broker's Comments

Connoisseur 1275 from 1981 for sale in France. Boatshed midi canals is happy to present this ex hire cruiser for sale on the lateral a la Garonne canal in the south of France.

This cruiser has been slightly modified by our current owners who wanted more space inside to suit their purpose, but still be able to welcome some guests. Now a 2 cabin boat with space for storage on board.

An easy and simple vessel to enjoy cruising on the canals of France in the 3 season period with a sliding roof easy to adjust according to the weather; you could decide to have the sunshine over the cockpit or stay under the shade of the roof.

Currently moored in a nice port on the canal with all the commodities plus the vicinity of a yard for any works to be carried on the boat.

The mooring could be transferrable under request to the capitainerie.

For more information or organise a visit, please contact, Graham at Boatshed Midicanals.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
