A student who couldn't afford to pay rent bought a boat to live on while studying at university - and saved himself £5,600.

一个学生读大学期间付不起房租，他就买了一艘船住在上面——这为节约了5600英镑。

Physical geography student, Joe Pearce, 23, bought the 42-year-old yacht online for £800, the equivalent of two months' rent.

23岁的自然地理学专业的学生乔-皮克斯在网上以800英镑买下了这首有42年历史的游艇，这相当于他两个月的月租。

He lived aboard the 23-foot Falmouth Gypsy class boat in a boatyard for 14 months while studying for his masters at Aberystwyth University.

这只法尔茅斯吉普赛风格的游艇长23尺，他在船里住了14个月，期间他在阿伯里斯特威斯大学进修硕士学位。

It was built in Penryn, Cornwall, 32 years ago and has a glass fibre hull with a plywood coach roof.

这艘船是32年前在北威尔士的康沃尔建成，配有玻璃光纤船体和胶合板船顶。

Mr Pearce said: 'When I was studying for my masters I realised I couldn't afford to keep living in a flat. I was sharing a flat with my girlfriend, and we would split the £100-a-week rent between us. But when we broke up I would have had to pay around 400 pounds a month by myself. So I then came up with a crazy idea to buy a boat to live on.'

皮尔斯先生说：“在我进修硕士学位时，我发现我无法支付公寓费用，我和我的女朋友合租公寓，我们每月平分那100英镑的租金。但当我们分手了，我每月必须支付约400英镑的房租。所以我想到了买条船住在上面的疯狂想法。”
