Overview
Whirlwind is a characterful and well-maintained 1991 Creighton narrowboat, ideal as a cosy & comfortable liveaboard or for extended cruising. She has been lovingly cared for, with a full out-of-water hull survey completed in 2024, followed by fresh blacking.

The shorter length of Whirlwind makes it ideal for new boaters as it can turn and moor with ease. Whirlwinds dependable BMC 1.4 diesel engine has also been recently serviced, giving peace of mind for many more years of cruising.

Selling as moving onto wide beam with my partner. Both the surveyor (2024) and the Senior BSS examiner (2025) commented on the excellent condition of the boat internally and externally.
