Im converting her for Charities with wheelchair clients to use for short breaks aboard with their carers or family members Alan. Three of the old oil tanks, each approximately 17'6" x 14'00" will be converted into a cabin with disabled bathroom. A large kitchen diner and additional accommodation will be available too. Stairlifts fore & aft, plus a hoist with a SWL of 400kg will ensure ease of access below decks. The deck each side of the coamings (refer to "RAVE") are a metre wide, thus facilitating "perambulation" around the deck for both self-propelled or pushed wheelchairs. That's my vision for her.

That is one hell of a project you have there. How will you get rid of the smell of oil from the old tanks?

Good luck, sounds like a worthy project, no room for a drawbridge and lift to a garage for the Rangie?

I had agreed to buy a working Barge called Panary with a 22' beam, whose design was better suited to accommodate a garage. She moved 250 ton loads between the Manchester Ship Canal and Liverpool's Huskisson Dock. Her owners had accepted my offer, but a couple of days before I was to transfer funds, they sold her to a previous skipper. Crap happens! Jondor's aft deck could park a Range Rover easily, but will instead be a "sun deck" accommodating multiple wheelchairs instead!
