Register with Boatshed to see 98 extra photos of this Porter & Haylett Astroline .Boatshed Norfolk are very pleased to offer this stunning rare and genuine Broads classic boat from the late 1950's. She is a 1958 Porter and Haylett Astroline 28, and is the most charming and wonderful couple boat that has been loved by her previous owner and very much so by her owner of the last 4 years, who has had much work done to bring her up to her current impressive standard.
She has just recently been out of the water for antifouling and has had any necessary work done while she was out.
This is a genuinely stunningly and well looked-after and updated Porter and Haylett Astroline 28 from 1958. You would be forgiven for thinking she was a recent retro build in a classic style.
The boat has clearly had loving and caring owners .
Not only have her owners maintained this beautiful and very spacious boat to the utmost degree, they have also thoughtfully and sympathetically added many improvements that compliment her charm and style perfectly.
Her reliability has been assured with a brand new Nanni Diesel 4.38 engine being fitted in 2018 now showing just over 300 hours only! and she has been fully serviced and maintained since with her last service by AR Peachment a few scant hours ago
She has had no expense spared in her regular maintenance and upkeep and most of the work has been carried out by local and well-respected classic boat expert, Tim Waters. and mother professional boat yards. She recently has her cockpit side replaced and her coach roof renovated and her water heater installation made fully boat safety compliant. She has her Broads toll paid to march 2026 and has a new new Boat Safety Scheme Certificate valid to October 2029!. Her quiet mooring in the wonderful Broadland village of Reedham may be available to the new owner by agreement with the marina owner.
The exterior of this wonderful boat all appears to be in good condition and very well maintained with no soft deck areas noted. The light and bright interior is a sunning place to spend time and has an open plan feel with the saloon sweeping into the large cockpit/wheelhouse with aft bathing platform. The very good sized heads compartment, with large shower, basin and electric pump out toilet, is very attractive and practical, and is opposite the galley amidships. The galley is very well laid-out and in the mid section of the vessel. Forward of that is a dedicated separate twin berth cabin that oozes cosy comfort and style with fantastic varnished wood on display everywhere you look. The large saloon seating converts to a huge double berth offering sleeping options for 4 on occasion.
Everywhere you look the wood glows with the loving care and beauty that only well cared for wood can. It is simply a sunning, quality, a little quirky and cosy place to spend time. The cabinetry is all solid and just as charming right down to the last door. Her original period art deco lights are a charm in themselves and this boat is sure to whisk you away to a charming and more relaxing era but with the added benefits of all mod cons under the skin.
Traditional style "Rennai" instant gas water heater is complimented by a fully pressurised hot water system via engine heated calorifier as per any modern boat. Her large Webasto diesel heating (new 2016) makes her a comfortable all year cruiser too. Her Voyager gas cooker was new in (2017), Waeco Fridge (2017), Teak and holly wheelhouse floor (2018), domestic water pump (2020), the list goes on and on.
A Small inverter plus shore power deliver mains capability whether she is moored up or out on the river and the recent new engine ensures a smooth, economical and reliable boat that responds well. I can not enthuse more highly about this particular boat, as the above technical items just cannot deliver the feeling of old-world charm and relaxation blended seamlessly with the comfort of more modern facilities being on hand. Make no mistake, this is a very special and very spacious, well looked-after boat. She has to be seen to be fully appreciated and understand just how much she has to offer.
