What boatyard sends a boat to the water with holes in the hull. You should be ashamed , disgusting. This would never happen in my yacht world.

17:15 Those drone shots are just stunning! What a fantastic - and quite scary - experience. Thanks for the wonderful vids.

Love your videos David ! Got a few injuries ATM, & fully concur how they can cheer people up . ! Well done !

Well, more please, it has a healing effect AND affect

Very nice. Thank you. - I was hoping to see closure by the boat pulling into the final destination.

Good one ..... Very entertaining...... & 'Your Wifes 😂 ' last comment - Poison 😂

Isn't it great you can skip through ads!

I’m in the U.S and love your videos, these long boats are so interesting. I was wondering, is there a dry dock place that people can take them out of the water to work on the bottoms?

I visited this boat yard about 6 years ago, with a friend. It was a wonderfully Sunny day. And I saw this glorious elegant white hulk off in the distance. As soon as I saw I thought “What a waste” Glad to see that it’s getting the care and appropriate ownership!

I am loving this long slow cruise, even more so now I got a bigger tv to enjoy it on! I'm still watching it in parts everytime I sit down to eat my lunch (mainly cheese sandwiches sometimes toasted but always with salad cream😋) I watch another segment! Thank You Geezer 👍❤️🥰🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈 Merry Christmas 😘😜

Great, I've been looking for one of these for a while, and now, thanks to this vid, it'll be even more difficult to get a good one

Immer wieder erstaunlich👍👍

Amazing. What more can one say?

An excellent video packed with advice for anyone looking to buy their first narrowboat. Broker James strongly recommended getting a survey done before buying any boat which is very good advice. Be wary though of buying a boat with a recent survey for two reasons. Firstly, you have no assurance of the independence of the surveyor from the seller. This is usually more of a problem when buying privately at the lower end of the price range but the principle applies at all price points. Secondly, if you did not commission the survey, the report carries no warranty for you should a problem emerge that wasn't identified in the report.

Have fantastic holidays my friend - we shall have plenty of time to watch your videos (knee deep in the snow)! Cheerio

Really innovative design ..... liked it a lot .

David - In the old days when I was working on a new aircraft radar system. The first tests were always referred to as smoke tests, for obvious reasons.

Marvellous....

The gunwales on mine need touching up, but they didn't do them when they blacked it. What would you recommend using?

1:43 have they thought about fines for those responsible?

We all say support local help micro businesses and we all go home and buy stuff online

Beautiful watches

14:25 ahh! I was wondering what could possibly be plumbed into the exhaust! I was thinking it couldn't be anything but smoke. I love that!

I really like this design of narrowboat. Thanks for the video!

Buying an electric boats using batteries is stupid.

Wonderful :-)

Lorry guy is litterally smoking a cigerette next to a fully stocked fuel boat while handling and unloading coal. Seems super legit.

Did they tape your lips shut? Are you even on the boat? I like the sound of the water as boat moves through it, and the views are good. Hope at the end you introduce the crew. I was watching on the TV, so did not even know you are on the G&S Canal until I went to my computer.

😮ll

Thank you for another pleasant ride. Don't forget to duck at 55:54 🦢

Love the sound of water. About half way through. Very relaxing. Plus the scenery and ride looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Very relaxing over my breakfast! Whos’ boat and what kind of drive/motor system does it have?

Love this, nearby to me and I love the canal activity

It was lovely meeting you in Crowngate today 👍

Very nice, like!!!

In the US narrow boat living on land is named “tiny house living” using less space. Good episode. Thanks.

18:42 was the building mad that you disturbed its peace? (on the left, very audible, some steam or alike was exhausted) :p Lovely video, thanks.

It's like someone said, "Make 'British' into a boat."

Polyurethane

In a new-build boat like this one, are things like the faulty horn and stuck weed hatch covered by a warranty?

This is how all narrowboat videos should be no talking no corny music i actually feel like it's me cruising the cut thanks keep up the good uploads 👊

Thanks for your great slow tv...real time videos...they are wonderful to watch and so calming! 😊❤

Can the young lady start a go fund me page ? I feel so sorry for her I wish I had the money to just give her 😢

Rocky weather is when you're glad that your fuel tank is clean. Nothing worse than having your engine die in rough weather.

David, thank you for this wonderful video!

At first sight I was sure it was steam.

buy a narrowboat and become a youtube. vlogger , its a goldmine.

Thanks for a relaxing evening.

I cannot understand why standing in the rain and cold is fun, why not have at least a canvas cover over the cockpit , in the pacific north west our craft have full covers usually with heat and are used all year long, do the canal craft not get used much in the colder months ?

Ahh, just what I needed. Hope you have a good Christmas. Thanks for uploading.
