Great Video reminds me of fishing With Dad ! - Pulling lines in to let those big boats past ! -Dad would complain about the sludge being kicked up - Same thing everytime a boat went past haha ! -Those long endless summer holidays fishing most days - Getting a real beer shandy for 1st time from that wonderful fisherman Pub on Canal side in Bingley ! -That Smell of Alcohol & Bleach ftom there -You knowthat wonderful smell as you walk through a well kept pub -You get mainly in the Country side pubs & a few city pubs ? -But that wonderful aroma has followed me all my life - And brought back many a memory Thanks for Sharing !
Thanks for posting this video. That looks like great fun, tooling slowly along an ancient canal in a snug little houseboat, flags and banners moving in the breeze, birds fearlessly chirping and calling away, unfazed by such a familiar sight and sound. I suppose, when they arrive, they tie up, hook in, exchange old & used for new & fresh and then bike to the nearest pub or guest-house for bangers & mash, or whatever, with a pint or two. Sign me up!

marvellous the only way to the only short point with a dutch barge is that you can only use certain canals to wide and high for a lot give me a narrow boat for the rest best way to see the unspoilt country side either style is great
The Canal Trust posted a map of the canals showing their allowable NARROWBOAT sizes that fit in their different sizes of canals. Beam, length And air draft are importing considerations when choosing a Narrowboat. Only the 7 foot wide, 53 ft in length ( oops, I forgot the minimum air draft) Fit in all the canals. Help with details appreciated.
@Hainsworth Boatyard..I was curious if you mates build replica luxe motors? If so, what is your site. I am trying to get one to live on in my retirement from the US of A.
I have a few contacts that can build a boat like this in the uk, or a few contacts to source a second hand one. I originally bought this as an unfinished project, and did the fit out myself, whereabouts do you want to be located, because that limits the size of boat you can build, if you want to cruse the entire uk canal network that is only possible with a boat 57 ft long and 7 ft wide, a boat like this can cruse the north or south of england but the north South link is only 7ft wide. if you'd like moor info email me I'm always happy to help gary@hainsworthsboatyard.co.uk
@@MESSI.HANDPLAYER 'Dutch barge' isn't used to depict the country of origin. The term is used to depict a type of design. And yes, when you change a lot on a design, then it becomes something else. When i give your Jaguar a different front and another tail, it isn't a Jaguar anymore.

How does it fit under the bridge on the UK canal system?
Ha. Ha, very good. It is beautiful though!
Did you hear the calling curlew?
The captain is suffering from Dutch Barge Disease
Thats a nice barge, is it for sale?
Never understood why we don't use barges for freight.. 5 mph isn't very fast but ...70...100 .150 ton or more would make a difference

I think a lot of people would be interested in the history of the canals. They must have been hand dug ? Yikes a lot of labor.
It looks like a spitz barge.
So much has been changed on that boat, you can't call it a 'Dutch barge' anymore.
It's a barge.
So, when i buy a jaguar, than we can say" english car". But when i change a lot of things, than it is not a English car anymore?🤣🤣🤣. Wow, special

Youre way of thinking is out of the box🙈🙈🙈.

Nice boat, hideous bows.
