Great stuff Paul.
I've owned and lived on five different vessels in the past, two of which were narrow boats. As an ex submariner how I wish I'd had the idea, (and the money), to do that!
Cheers,

U Boat,

I think there may be problems with some of the bridges and tunnels but I do agree it is a well built boat and it has cctv to boot,(forgive the pun)a lot of thought has gone into it,apart from the stabilisers,
Regards,Don,
