    Proper boaty boat. :thumbsup:
    But when one like that needs work it's very expensive. Apart from it being the wrong side of the north sea, it looks a bit cheap...

    The advert says perfect for English canals. :) Carefully ignoring the fact that you'd be restricted to where you could go by the 8'6" width. :(

    I thought you might like that one. I absolutely love it. I think it is steel hulled and you could get a berth in the historic Oude haven dock in Rotherdam

    I think keeping a boat like that ship-shape is quite time consuming. Like a t2 compared to a modern equivalent. Looks hard work all round really. Lol You'd have to love it. It has those boards on the side, they're for sailing. :thinking:

    And sea toilet is no use either, no shower, tarp over the roof, insulation? 110 year old riveted iron. Not for me, I wouldn't want the worry of it sinking on my watch.
