Lovely boat except I do not understand a walkthrough bathroom on a wide beam, you have up to 8’ of space more than a narrow boat walk though so why have the possible inconvenience ?
Better late than never. The British waterways are in three sections north south and midlands. Wide beams anything over 6’10” can only travel in the North or South but not the midlands. At present there is not a canal link between north and south although one is proposed however a lorry can transport them and in calm weather and preparations a coastal link is also possible. Many are used as house boats but a growing number are cruising. Personally the added space makes up for the restrictions. Further if you really want to do the midlands a hire boat could do just them or you could buy one for the purpose then re sell it. I ordered a new wide beam and during the build bought an older narrow boat did the midlands than sold it back to the dealer and the loss was only small as I picked a good age to buy and sell.
The music matches the vessel, elegant.
Nice house boat....Love the music. We should have these here in the USA.
I'm sure you could get one built and it would probably be great on the Mississippi and what ever connected navigable waters there are
You can rent them on the Erie Canal. Enter canal boats USA into CZcams search bar.
What IS that music...mesmerising...
Nothing else to say . Your narrow boat is very nice .
LOVE rear galley.
Very nice, I presume given this video was 5 years ago, that it has sold.
Looks comfy...

@@MichaelsMustang Thank you for the info.
WHY ARE THESE BOATS PAINTED LIKE.....CIRCUS WAGONS????
Tradition. They derive from workboats on the British canal network and the families who ran them showed their individuality by the artwork.
Didn't like the toilet but everything was fine.
