Built by Sagar Marine in Brighouse, Yorkshire, the Mini-Luxe line-up runs from 49ft to 60ft, with each boat in the range featuring a narrowish beam (relative to length) of 12ft 6in \u2013 perfect for navigating the rivers and canals of Britain and Continental Europe.<\/p>\n
But the range isn’t restricted to two or three models within that size bracket. You specify the length of boat you’d like, and Sagar will build to order.<\/p>\n
Over the years the company has honed the design and fitout, learning from the experience of owners who have used them to travel Europe-wide.<\/p>\n
This 57 offers a large owner’s suite forward, and a twin guest cabin to the rear with its own toilet and shower compartments.<\/p>\n
It’s in the saloon, though, that you really feel the value of this boat. It is superbly finished in a traditional English style, more reminiscent of a country cottage than continent-spanning inland cruiser. <\/p>\n Tested June 2009<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Britain’s answer to the Dutch barge is a reliable, well-finished inland cruiser<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":423,"featured_media":29774,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"review_manufacturer":[241],"review_category":[45],"review_type":[],"review_award":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/37317"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/423"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37317"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/37317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42304,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/37317\/revisions\/42304"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37317"},{"taxonomy":"review_manufacturer","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_manufacturer?post=37317"},{"taxonomy":"review_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_category?post=37317"},{"taxonomy":"review_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_type?post=37317"},{"taxonomy":"review_award","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_award?post=37317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
