Great video! I bet that’s a nightmare to manage. Would that be a common way to move back in the day?
The ending is telling when they have to stop!
Cheers, glad you’re back posting.

Thanks Brian, Yes this would have been a common sight on the BCN back in the day.

Great stuff. You should post more often if you get the chance! HOW do they tackle locks, thats a butty to beat the crowd!

[@StarCraftsontheCanal]

Thankyou, boats where mainly used like this on the BCN back in the day where locks aren’t so much of an issue.

So, those knots at the frame of your superstructure leading to the gunnels, are those meant to prevent chafing and to protect the sheeting?

[@StarCraftsontheCanal]

Exactly that 👍
