    I think it's a fantastic idea. The background sounds of water, lock paddle mechanisms, boat engines, birds in the trees and human chatter could make a great tableau to paint onto.

     

    Come to think of it, sampling some of those same sounds could result in a new genre of music, industrial meets natural!

    Absolutely, thank you! 🤗

    All sounds very modern to me. 

    I still think music should be played loud.

    Hi Glenn, 

     

    Thanks for your thoughts. As much as I would love to play music loud, especially like the events and festivals I have performed at, It would annoy people. Perhaps for special organised events, I will play loud.

    Hello all! 

     

    Once the purchase of my partners narrowboat goes through, we plan travel round the network, and create “Canal Sessions” taking both my passions and creating positivity on the towpath!

    I am a House Music DJ and Producer by trade, and I feel i can pinch this niche network by promoting the canal network by using it as a backdrop for my livestreams/recordings. 
     
    I must add, MUSIC will NOT be played out loud, this can disturb neighbours, and fellow boaters.
    It will all be sent digitally into a streaming software, but will appear as if the music is playing out live. 
     
    It is all via headphones, and will just be myself on the camera and passersby.

    What are your thoughts?

  6. Buying First Narrowboat - 62"

    A very rough budget would also be useful as well as what you're looking for (good condition and ready to go? sound but needing some work? needs a complete refit? cheapest possible "project boat"?), there's no point recommending a vendor that focuses on the higher-quality/newer/higher-priced boats if they're out of your reach.

    circa £73000. Very good boat, gas free. Hope all goes well. 

     

    Thank you for your feedback, have a good weekend! 👍

    Seems like an odd choice -- for "go-anywhere" you want 57'-60', for more space 70'-72', but a 62' meets neither requirement...

    Again, appreciate your very constructive thoughts. I will definitely take it onboard. 
     

    With regards to the “ or ‘ typo, I can only but apologise. I never knew that would cause so much confusion to the people that responded on this thread. 
     

    I'm terribly sorry for the confusion

    Wasn't having a dig fella. The title to your thread states 62" the double quotes is inches not feet is all. Knew you probably meant feet so was just a bit of fun ...

    Lol 😂

    One thing to note. You say you have " visisted a FEW nice boats " in Leicestershire. Its a sellers market, its never in my 30 plus years of boat ownership been such a solid sellers market. I sold my boat last year without even advertising it immediately. Boats that are " Nice " are selling the same day they go on sale. Snooze and you lose. Just sayin like, its not tyre kicking season at present. It will get even worse as the weather picks up.

    Yes, you are quite right!

    If you want a proper traditional boat try Sarah Edgson at Glascote Marina.  She sells quality, not quantity. 

    Thanks very much 👍

    Hi All...

     

    Hope you are all well?

     

    Looking to buy my first narrowboat, it will be my partners 2nd. He had a Liverpool Boats, cruiser stern. 

    We have been on a few holidays since he sold it in 2012, after a job offer in NZ, however that fell through. 

     

    At the moment, after Covid-19 it is very much a sellers market at the moment, with very few good quality and cared for boats on the market. 

     

    We have looked at the usual agency websites, such as Apollo Duck, and also contacted a number of Marina brokerages in the UK, as well as visited a few very nice craft in Leicestershire. 

     

    Would anyone recommend any sites, or specific marinas with good craft at the moment? Specifically Semi Trad, or Trad.

     

    Thank you :)

    Mine is in the engine compartment on a semi trad. The engine compartment has sound insulation so not much noise in the boat.

     

    8.5 kW and warms the boat up very quickly. 

     

     

    Brilliant... We looked at a 62" Trad, Boatmans Cabin with the Machy equipment is next to bedroom, however it is divided by a Bulkhead and Door, so potentially can be cancelled out. 

     

    Thank you!

    No I didnt. When I bought the boat it was the only form of heating. I put a solid fuel stove in. That meant the hurricane was secondary use. The Hurricane packed in, it had done many thousands of hours. It was uneconomical to repair so I fitted a webasto in its place. I would have a Hurricane again, no problem. Yes more noise than others but a proper bit of kit.

    Thank you very much for your reply :)
