Just thought I'd start this to add to the general boaty theme. Photos of your boat.
Here's mine, Desiree. She's quite old, 30 years old this year. I bought her 18 months ago from Aqueduct Marina. We were on a narrowboat holiday, we pulled into Aqueduct Marina for a spot of lunch and less than an hour we motored out having put down a deposit on her. She's a 42' Peter Nicholls trad with a BMC 1.5 engine.
She was originally built for Malcolm Rhodes, who fitted out narrowboats for a living, Desiree is his wife's name. The fit-out is absolutely beautiful, mostly done using iroko wood (African teak).
So far we've been to Llangollen and the end of the Mont via the Four Counties Ring, done the Warwickshire Ring, numerous other 2-3 day cruises from our mooring at Stretton Stop, and we're doing the Ashby canal and the Leicester Ring this year. When we bought her, she had 2,468 hours on the engine hours meter, now she has over 3,000. We love her to pieces!
