Greetings from Canada thanks for sharing this video I understand that living on a boat in Holland or most European countries with rivers is a different life 😮
@@robtheplod There are lots of widebeam permanent cruisers and many miles of rivers/canals that they can navigate. Okay, a widebeam can't access ALL canals, but there are still plenty to choose from which will allow you to travel far and wide.
Not much of a canal boat but very much of a river one, what is close to it on the canal route is more than well compensated by the river access where the narrowboats are total no go. Also the normal two bedroom space in comparison to the super cramped one on a narrowboat with similar lenght achieved for only 15-20% up in the price is a very solid selling point. Beautiful, beautiful boat.
My late partner had a narrowboat and we mostly cruised on rivers as we found the wildlife and width of water preferable to canals - and not so many locks! Widebeams can access many canals - though not all.
These wide beams are so beautiful compared to the narrower boats ! I think the narrowboats are fine EXCEPT for the sitting area - just too tiny to relax in IMO.
It's wired for solar, but you need to put the panels in. Not a fan of the carpet. Put a proper sized sofa in to give you the breakfast bar back, and it'll give you a bit more room as well. I'd turn the guest room into an office. The price is not bad for what you're getting
There are MANY rivers and canals that a widebeam can access. There are CZcams channels of permanent cruisers on their widebeam boat as well as plenty who have one as their 'holiday home'.
It's bigger than lots of apartments and has the added benefit of being able to travel. For anyone wanting to live aboard and/or permanently cruise it's bloody cheap. Ditto for someone wanting a holiday home. You wouldn't get a garden shed for that price in London for example.
@@avro9707 And one Man with only two feet will make a mess Yeah .. Wizard 🧙🤣 Duh … Congratulations you just played yourself.. Dogs piss anywhere, Dogs have a habit of Sitting on Floors after taking a Dump , Dogs have Flea,s . Mites , They leave hair everywhere. They lick things, They sniff things with a wet nose, Yeah Dogs are so clean ..
some young couple will buy this and think wow let's cruise the cut , and one day it will dawn on them this boat is to big for the canal , mooring it is a nightmare, because is so heavy lots of places aren't deep enough, they will have to run there engine to charge the batteries for 6 hours a day or more from october to march , and every narrow boater they come in contact with will think get that ducking grate thing out of my way plz .
Canals are not the only inland waterway, the draft is the same as most narrow boats and can be moored just the same. Very "narrowminded" view in my opinion.
Iol i dont work for rugby boats, i have spent 5 years living on a narrow boat and am now into my second year on a wide beam. There are some canals you cant cruise because of the narrow locks but plenty you can and the draft on ouf wide is the same as our narrow. Some narrow boats have deeper drafts than others, especially the older ones. The wide is a dream on the rivers. I get this said a lot and just wanted to put out there it is not the case.
I am an American who followed the CZcams rabbit hole to narrowboats, and I'm absolutely in love with this!
Glad to see that Bumble found a toy to run away with! 😂
Oooo! I could live very comfortably on this boat!
absolutely agree. And the only things I would change is the decorations and replacing the spare bed by a desk and make it a hobby room. 🙂
Fabulous boat one of the I’ve seen, thank you James a great walkthrough as usual 👌
£159,950
Morning!! 😊😊I’m awake for a change watching you tube. This is a nice looking barge that is for sale. 👍👍
Look @ the little guy, he is soooooo happy!!!
Super nice clean boat for 160k, thanks for sharing.
My farm cost that , and is now worth two mill , my boat was a money drainer

Um barco casa de muito bom gosto. Parabéns aos proprietários. Saudações do Brasil.
Stunning!
WOW. That's a big boy..... Very nice!
That’s what she said 😊
Stunning boat.
That would take me down the Rhine/Danube to the Black Sea ❤
Lovely
Watch out ror ruskies
Beautiful 😍
This is Earls Barton, where the river Nene is pronounced Nenn...
Beautiful
This is the first boat I have ever coveted.
Me to 😊
I want it too
Loved the poco boat d9nt know if it’s music related
Yes, she is still for sale. Please visit our website for our number www.rugbyboats.co.uk
Nice.
Does a wide beam boat exclude most of the canals you can use?
Yes heavily restricted. People buy these to moor/live and will rarely move....
Lovely
@robtheplod might aswell just buy a static caravan then, same luxury half the cost
@@robtheplod There are lots of widebeam permanent cruisers and many miles of rivers/canals that they can navigate. Okay, a widebeam can't access ALL canals, but there are still plenty to choose from which will allow you to travel far and wide.
“Lovely” …
ME AND PAULINE LOVE THIS.. IS IT STILL FOR SALE?
Look up Rugby boats
Yes it's still for sale
Could you imagine living on that?
wow super nice i wonder if u could get a mortgage for it as cant see many people having loose change in there pockets haha
The very reason I do the Lottery is here.
Wonderful boat. I am wondering what Aintree and Nottingham could build today for USD $204,000.
Two Great moments in your life when you pick up your new boat 🛥 😅, the 2nd when you eventually sell it 😮
Wish I had the money. I need to win the lottery
Is the dog supposed to stay on the boat! Because puppy got off and we didn't see him get back on!
can i just ask, is it lovely ?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Its a beautiful boat, I would move the tv, but that's the only thing I would change. I would add solar panels
Yes TV in weird place.
That’s two things then
Can an American buy this boat?
Already retired
yes you can
How much please
Its on rugby boats website with lots of info and a download able brochure. Its 159,950
Roomier than the 2bdrm duplex unit I just looked at.
Any chance I get free? Or low price?? 😅
How many m² altogether including the 2 balcony things?
L X B = Area
James, you really need to treat yourself to some new shoes :)
😂🤣😂
Was all going well until I saw the toilet roll put on the holder incorrectly so it’s a no from me!
No, no the toilet roll is correct ... and I know I am in the minority! Ha ha
Sigh...the amount of toilet rolls I've had to change over...
🤣😭🤣
Deal breakers right there
Hi its lovley is just canel boat or sea as well ❤
Are any boats like this for sale in the USA? This would be perfect on the Mississippi or even the Arkansas.
There are very few, designed for the UK inland waterways, not so good on rivers, and not classified for sea going.
I'll be frank, it lacks character. Might be o k when filled with clutter. Two double beds are pointless
I suppose they are for marina living
@@ladygardener100 No. They can access many of the canals and rivers in the 2,000 miles of inland waterways that cover England and Wales.
It’s a bigun
That's what she said
How much does it cost to moor something like this for the year ?
Hi Trev different marina's have different tariff depending on location. We pay £400 a month in the midlands. If that's any help.
Ours is a 60ft 12ft wide beam.
The closer to London you get the higher the cost. Depending on where you want to keep it.
Ideal love it ,why do people moan so much ,what more you need ✌️
How can it feel new
Not a lot of wear and tear and the very limited mileage used.
price?
Price on website.
£159.950
Only flaw for me was the small fridge. A full size can easily fit in that kitchen.
I always get interested in these boats but because I never see pricing, I don’t pursue
There's always somebody in the comments that has checked out the website for you! In this particular case it's £159.950.
Not much of a canal boat but very much of a river one, what is close to it on the canal route is more than well compensated by the river access where the narrowboats are total no go.

Very nice what a difference a few inches make!
As the actress said to the Bishop. 😂
These wide beams are so beautiful compared to the narrower boats ! I think the narrowboats are fine EXCEPT for the sitting area - just too tiny to relax in IMO.
However a narrow boat can use the whole canal system, it depends whether you want a boat to sit on - or one to travel the whole system on.
I always get nervous when a broker uses the term "to be honest" !!!!! sorry, couldn't resist
Oh no, they have the toilet roll the wrong way around! Other than that, a very nice boat.
It's wired for solar, but you need to put the panels in. Not a fan of the carpet. Put a proper sized sofa in to give you the breakfast bar back, and it'll give you a bit more room as well. I'd turn the guest room into an office. The price is not bad for what you're getting
I grew up between Oundle and Thrapston,it's definitely NENN,but you know better (smug laugh)
I live just below Peterborough and here it's definitely Nene (as in Neen) - smug laugh 😂😏
I’m not surprised it’s only got 215 hours on the engine, she can’t fit anywhere 😂 Probably been chugging round the marina
To and from service jetty only!
I have seen this boat out on the nene a few times. Lovely boat.
There are MANY rivers and canals that a widebeam can access. There are CZcams channels of permanent cruisers on their widebeam boat as well as plenty who have one as their 'holiday home'.

@@jillosler9353 morring fee’s, diesel, etc…. Doubt it’s as cheep as you say!!
Love to see the running cost for it for a year!!
Takes his shoes off to be respectful and keep the floor clean , Then lets a Dog run around inside, … FFS 🤦♂️
@@avro9707 And one Man with only two feet will make a mess Yeah .. Wizard 🧙🤣 Duh … Congratulations you just played yourself..

Did you not see the pet food bowls on the floor? Owner obviously has a pet already.@@daidavies6210
I would have bought it, but dogs running around in it, its a no from me..
Too embarrassed to say the price 😂
