This page shows the fit-out of the Saloon on our
barge Elessina. Elessina was built
by Piper Boats at Stoke on Trent to a sailaway plus level,
completion of the fit-out was on our mooring at Port Medway on
the River Medway in Kent. Elessina is 60 ft long x
12'-6" wide has a 12mm thick 5ft wide flat bottom with
8/10mm thick angled side chines.
The Saloon is is
approx 14ft x 12ft, located between the master bathroom and
