Narrowboats

Narrowboats are a class of flat-bottomed craft, for use on the narrow canals, that is up to 70 feet in length and has a beam of approximately 6'10" - these specific dimensions allowing them to fit into standard UK canal locks.

Despite their extremely narrow beam a full size narrowboat can happily accommodate a large family for a fortnight's holiday.
