Sheerline 740 Forward Steer.

I had a visit to Sheerline Boats at Thorpe in Norwich on Friday. This was one of their early boats they were renovating for a new owner. She was built in 1985. They are quite rare these little forward steer Sheerline 740’s and don’t come on the market that often. It is a superb day cruiser or converts to a most comfortable overnight boat.

The boys at Sheerline busy polishing the hull ready for the hand over.

The forward helm position has twin sliding overhead canopies for all weather cruising and the craft's height and width make the majority of the UK inland waterways available. This boat originally had one roof, but Sheerline have divided into two to give the boat a more modern feel and it represents the twin roof version of their newer models.

The newer model they are producing has two interior layouts - Flair and Finesse. Both have a fully equipped galley and a shower and toilet compartment to provide full comfort facilities. The Flair option could be considered a day boat for up to 12 people, converting to occasional use as an overnight boat with berths for two people - either as two singles or a large double. The Finesse option is a mid-engined craft and overnight accommodation is achieved with a fixed double berth in the aft cabin. The forward saloon has a high quality wrap-around settee that converts to an additional double berth.

Take a look at their website for more details:
