booke23 Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 On a narrowboat, every inch if space needs to be maximised. It will be to hold a table or folding chair or some such other demountable object. It's quite a nice thing....the woodwork is quite pleasing.

Guest Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 I would say two folding chairs side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Brooks Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 or possibly two small tables, especially if the boat has no proper table but does have two easy chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchcrawler Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Or two glazed window units for the side hatch, duck hatch, swan hatch or whatever its called today. Hope you are on shore supply with that electric radiator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizzard Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 One side of a boxing ring. There should be three more portable sides to it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnetman Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Something has been taken out and put back in quite often but I don't know what as have not seen the vessel inventory. Also another mark just above showing white or grey paint. Is there a moveable item painted white or grey? Something like a portable ironing board or possibly an indoor barbecue for fish.

The 'mark' you have circled in red just looks like a join in the wood if you zoom in on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got an extendable curtain rod screwed to the woodwork below the gunwales in exactly the same place and it's so the Mrs can wedge numerous pairs of shoes in there, so I'm agreeing with the shoe rack vote. My boots aren't allowed in the rack and get relegated to the rear steps, usually to be found with condensation dripping into them from the hatch...

Such rudeness- it’s the finest Axminster, and the bungee held two spare rolls if it. Though long lasting you never know when you may use a spare roll or two. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
