Christopher James is a 45ft semi-traditional style narrowboat, built in 1992 by Aldridge Boat Builders. She features a saloon with stove and L-shaped seating that converts to a double bed, U-shaped galley, midships bathroom, followed by a second saloon with L-shaped seating that converts to a double bed at the stern. The boat has recently had the roof repainted, it had a new engine and gearbox in 2003, and has only had two owners from new. She is a lovely boat that has clearly been well looked after and much loved.
