RISING DAMP

Rising Damp is a Norman 24 GRP cruiser, offering a practical and compact layout ideal for weekends away, steady inland cruising, or a first step into boat ownership. With its classic 1970s/80s styling and efficient use of space, this well-known model provides all the basics needed for comfortable life on the water.

Step aboard at the cockpit and make your way into the bright open-plan cabin, where large windows along both port and starboard sides flood the space with natural light. The cabin layout is simple, welcoming, and functional perfect for relaxed days afloat.

To starboard, the galley runs the length of the main cabin and is equipped with a gas hob, grill, oven, stainless steel sink, and multiple storage cupboards. There’s ample worktop space for a boat of this size, making meal preparation on board both easy and enjoyable.

Opposite the galley is a comfortable dinette with two upholstered bench seats surrounding a removable table. This area converts into an additional double berth when needed, offering flexible sleeping options for guests or family. Beneath the seating you’ll also find practical under-bench storage.

Moving forward, the bow features a fixed V-berth configuration with padded cushions and surrounding shelving ideal as either a permanent sleeping area or a cosy daytime retreat. This space benefits from the wide forward windows, which help create an airy and open feel.

The separate bathroom is located portside and includes a compact sink unit with built-in storage, overhead shelving, a shower fitting, and a portable toilet. It’s a straightforward but functional washroom that makes extended trips far more convenient.

The interior has a classic charm throughout, with wood accents, lined ceilings, patterned curtains, and cushioned seating that reflect the boat’s era while offering plenty of potential for personal modernisation.
