Viking 26 Centre Cockpit - 'Raido'
'Raido' is a rare craft from the Viking range, featuring a centre cockpit with accommodation both forward and aft. She has undergone extensive refurbishment and improvement over the past couple of years, including:
- 2-pack epoxy paint plus anti-foul of the hull
- New extended height and length canopy that allows crew to sit on the rear cabin under cover
Please see further details within the specification.
Main Features
The main feature of the Viking 26cc is the aft cabin, which offers a double berth that can be permanently made. The lowering windscreen, together with the narrow beam, enables this boat to travel virtually every river and canal in the country.
Forward, the 26cc is rare in her class, offering close to 6' headroom, a full-size toilet and shower compartment, an excellent galley, a dinette that seats four or sleeps two, and a further double berth forward.
This really is the best of its kind and is offered in exceptional condition for turn-key and go boating.
Layout
The Forward Cabin offers accommodation for four easily with a minimum headroom of 6'02". The cabin is laid out with an infill to create a good-sized double berth. To port, aft of the dinette, are forward and aft-facing seats with extendable sections to make this a double berth or to seat four around the table. Opposite and to starboard is the galley with storage beneath the worktops. The sink and hob are combined in a unit with a flush-fitting fold-down glass cover. Aft of the galley, the toilet room features a cassette flush toilet, shower, and foldaway sink.
The aft cabin offers a double berth and a large wardrobe.
Cockpit Features
The cockpit features the helm to port with a steering wheel connected via a cable to the outboard, a single lever engine control, and ancillary switches. A single helm pedestal seat is to port with further seating surrounding this. Access to the deck is via steps.
Exterior
The exterior is fully hand-moulded, featuring a gel coat exterior strengthened by chopped strand mat. All exterior fittings are in stainless steel, and the boat has side decks of approximately 4" in width. Sturdy handrails are located on the cabin top, and the bow is surrounded by a stainless steel pulpit. This rare craft offers navigation to all UK inland waters due to her design beam of 6'10". The size of the craft also allows her to fit on a trailer and be located on any inland UK waterways via a slip.
