Willow used to be moored in the old Hotwells Sand-dock in Bristol Harbour. The Sand-dock (aka the wet-dock) is now named the Pooles Wharf Marina, adjacent to Pooles Wharf Court and Rownham Mead, in the Hotwells area of Bristol.
She has had a variety of leisure use in and around Bristol Harbour, and on the nearby Kennett and Avon waterway. |

Willow is powered by a three-cylinder 1.27 litre Kuboto 'Nanni' skin-cooled diesel engine, generating a maximum of 29bhp. She has a 50 gallon diesel-tank at the stern and a 150 gallon water-tank at the bow. She is currently fiited with a fixed double and two single berths. Water heating is via a calorifier in the engine cooling system, and cabin-heating is via a solid-fuel Morsų stove. Click on the thumbnails below to see larger pop-up images |
