I usually email Phil to find the current situation if we want to leave the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Eater Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Others have suggested hiring a boat before you commit to purchasing. The Lyneal Trust on the Llangollen Canal have narrowboats suitable for families with a disabled person. I have no connection apart from speaking to boaters who are using them.

I steered a boat from the Lyneal Trust in 2015, which had been hired by a disabled friend and his able bodied friend for a week. Very cheap to hire, and nice people to do business with. The 70 foot boat had wheel and tiller steering so could be steered by a person in a wheelchair as well as an able bodied person, a hydraulic lift so that a wheelchair bound person could easily access the boat, and a very large shower adapted for disabled use. They also hire canalside cottages adapted for use by disabled people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
