It would appear that your lovely staff member is indicating to you with a hand gesture.

But without doubt far prettier than any sewer tube surely? Certainly more of a boat shaped boat.

I look at the upright bow and expect a chunky stern. I look at the stern and expect a racing yacht bow.  The cabin structures have a totally flat look.  And personally I don't like arched windows even though I suspect they are far more practical than the horizontal. Its neat and tidy, but beautiful? Not quite, to my taste.

Now if we were to have a cumfyest competition, that would be a different question. Perhaps in two categories, narrowboat and all-comers.

Well we could start by inventing time travel and go back two hundred and a few years and exterminate the TW--s who decided on a seven foot beam and only allow those who built sensible canals :D

We Moor in Goole on the Aire & Calder. Inland we can go as far as Leeds, Wakefield, Linton on Ouse, and have been to the Riverside Festival in Nottingham. We go down the Humber, and have called in at Hull, and the Ancholme. We are 60ft,  our draft is 4ft, our beam 14ft, and our lowest airdraft is 10ft.

And in reality that is further than most 57 foot narrowboat owners have travelled!! :)

And it's a fine looking boat as I think I have said to you on the 'Boat of Thunder'.

which just goes to show that you don't have an eye for classical boat/ship design.

The naval architect did an utterly lovely job.

Wasn't a 'Royal' Naval architect then..............no gun!!

I like the overall shape of the boat. Bet it's nice 'indoors' as well.
