Boatman's cabins were designed to cram people in a small space to allow more cargo storage. We had a 62ft Stoke boat with one fitted and you could count on one hand when it was used. If we are lucky enough to return to the canals I wouldn't select a boat with a traditional working boatman's cabin. It's not practical in the modern age. I prefer a reverse layout with kitchen at stern and main bedroom at bow.
Fabulous.
My god, what skill and talent you have absolutely amazing, what would that cost?
How many hours went into this fantastic construction ? This is so much more than modern boats can offer.
Excellent.
Thank you that was fascinating and beautiful
G’day the boat fit out is absolutely terrific beautiful woodwork. Joh
