That lady is much better at rope handling than my wife.
Mind you that man is much better at steering his boat than I am!

That's just a larger version of taking a 72ft narrowboat into a narrow lock with only inches to spare.
To those of you used to relatively light fibreglass boats, a relatively heavy, steel, well ballasted narrowboat or barge, is a lot easier to keep in a straight line, than a realtively light V shaped GRP boat.Anybody else sail a Frolic 18? or know someone who does? if so please PM me.

Yup- just had a week on the Grand Union Leicester summit level, albeit with only a 60 ft. boat. First mate has steered through the Blisworth tunnel- its over 3000 meters long I believe and only15 feet wide- in the dark, without touching the sides many times. We have a week on a narrowboat with The Canal Club, a timeshare deal. For us its a very economical and comfortable way of canaling. It is, in our view, the fastest way of slowing down avalable. The Peniche was impressive. Originally Posted by ProDave
