Description
Hello,
I'm looking for help with the renovation/re-commissioning of an old-ish Steel Motor Cruiser - a Kempala Kotter from 1979.
Around 13.5 Metres x 4.2 x 1.5 and around 20 tonnes it is moored in France, not far from Sedan, Charleville-Meziers and Bouillon, (Belgium).
It comfortably sleeps four or six and has all facilities.
This project is only suitable for individuals who have had at least five years work experience - in any field, though familiarity with boats, RV's or similar and a Mechanical aptitude will help greatly!
Types of help and learning opportunities
DIY and building projects
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Lots of opportunities for walking, cycling and tourism in both Belgium and France. Luxembourg is one hour away, Germany and extra 45 minutes.
Help
A large and comfortable boat moored on the canal d'Ardennes, close to the Meuse river.
A very peaceful setting, but close enough to shops and tourism.
I need help painting, repairing and tidying.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
Completely self-contained on the boat itself.

We were genuinely sorry to see them go and would welcome them

Both are bright, intelligent and a pleasure to be with.
Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information.
