Detailed specs

We were sad to sell our beloved floating home in June 2014 but the time came to go home.
The new owners are a lovely Danish couple called Tore and Kirsten.

Parisien Star was built by Crown Narrowboats (winners of the Lionel Munk trophy at the IWA Festival in 2003).  We were the second owners of the boat and we were impressed with how well the original owner had kept it.  The interior timberwork is light, bright and in excellent condition.  The fitout is to a high standard with an excellent spec for a liveaboard.
