Hi

Link Removedand fancy a bigger MH. Just wondered if there was anyone out there that had considered getting a narrowboat.

I would be interested to do a swap, px, trade or whatever cash either way.

I am not giving up boating as I am building a bigger wider narrowboat see here

Interested? PM me.

The new wide vessel to which you refer is called a barge. Narrowboats have a beam of 6ft 10" ish. Barges are often 13ft beam.

Nice like the boat but not for me to much hard work on the locks :winky:

No, No, No.

Tradition has it that the man steers the boat through the locks and the little woman works the gates and paddles etc.

Its easy that way.

Agreed mostly, however mine is technically know as a widebeam narrowboat. Mine is 12' beam.

A barge normally has a more sea going design about it.

That has just given me an idea for its name. Any guesses?

It's funny. The canals are full of men shouting from the blunt end at the woman at the pointy many and varied and usually contradictory instructions. Me included. In my defense I always offer the blunt end for the pointy end. Its never accepted.
