SOLD - Lady Grey - 2017 Alexander/Perrydale 70' Semi Cruiser. Brand New

[@Quickblood1]

Probably the first narrowboat I've seen where I actually like the interior.

[@danielosh3218]

how can u sit on the first toilett :D looks impossible

[@MichaelsMustang]

@@danielosh3218 Daniel the part you sit on turns 90 degress and the toilet paper is on your right, it just gets them out of the way.

[@WernerRachtman]

Naah this looks like a cheap hotel without personality.

[@BillyLingard]

This is the first narrowboat that the layout is exactly what I’ve been looking for. If I was building all I’d change would be to either loose one bedroom and reduce boat size or swap it for a dinette. Other than that I’d have bought this in a heart beat

[@wolfpaw4699]

I want a narrow boat with lady grey layout!! 3 bedroom washing machine dryer 2 toilets wood burner fridge freezer cooker oven shower!! Great video thank you for sharing this amazing boat 👍

[@presterjohn71]

Good grief some of the comments on this boat are a bit savage. It's cramped looking because if was built for a family not a couple and so that means lots of walls to give lots of privacy. You pays your money and takes your choice at the end of the day but if you have teenagers they don't want you gawping at them when they are in bed. As for the modern looks. personally that is what I would go for too. I might like traditional Victorian style paint and wood for a holiday boat but for long term use sleek and easy to clean are what I would go for.

[@EASYTIGER10]

I see what you mean and understand the need for privacy, but I just don't warm to this boat

[@MichaelsMustang]

Unfortunately people forget there are 66.65 million people in the uk (2019) and they fail to understand that each and everyone of them has their own individual tastes and needs.

[@JasperJanssen]

What’s weird is that this is clearly built for mostly-moored-shore-power living for 2+1+1, in a very idiosyncratic custom layout, and they apparently no longer wanted her before she was even finished. Sad story. Well, although... the generator might argue for cruising, but honestly I cannot see a scenario where a family with two teenage children would or could go continuous cruising.

[@MichaelsMustang]

This was one of the best presented videos you have ever done, it had a good mix of all the boats features, well done !!!

[@FlashGeiger]

I have one of those desk-beds in my spare bedroom/hobby room in my apartment (double bed sized) and thought they'd be useful in a narrow boat. Glad to see them starting to be used.

[@lesleycouch6557]

Lots of people will love it, but it just reminds me why I prefer older boats. Live on this one, you might as well be living in a house!

[@Matt19matt19]

I sort of get what you mean but you're still on a boat lol.

[@maxpoole4631]

What a beautiful boat, absolutely gorgeous.

[@sunway1374]

3:47 I wouldn't put the stove like that surrounded by all sides except the front. I would want the air to circulate freely around it, and be able to rise (a big part of heating in a room is actually hot air slowly filling it starting from the top). Also, it's completely blocked for efficient distribution of the heat through the boat. That sitting area is going to be baking hot while the rest of the boat needs other heating. I would guess this stove is unusable.

[@padgepadgham3238]

I love watching all the interesting narrow boat videos on here. I live near a canal and several friends have or still own a boat, however, I cant imagine wanting to live on one. A very narrow floating caravan, with the added delight of gulping in clouds of healthy diesel fumes on a never ending journey to the same places.

[@cbcdesign001]

Exposure to fumes is far lower on a narrowboat than it is in the average car on a busy road.

[@mcharris5200]

@O R 🤣😂😂🤣

[@sunnycampers4249]

Saw this boat in build, Dave Perry certainly is a Master Craftsman. Wow.... top job fella 👍👍

[@DarrenBoss1984]

OUt of all the narrowboats I've seen this is by far the best designed. I'd definatly see myself living in something like this for sure.

[@whoisme678]

I love it... I'd buy one tomorrow if I could afford it. 👍👍👍 I don't think you'd want to get too fat or you'd be stuck between walls with legs dangling.

[@hayprofilms]

What lens have you used to film this beautiful boat because it looks narrower than it is which is not helpful when selling something already narrow. Regards Hayden

[@urbanrider7981]

I like this boat better than 'oak'.Its clean,bright and airy.

[@ShakespeareCafe]

Relative to the size of the canal piloting one of these crafts is like going up the Detroit River in a Great Lakes freighter

[@yogihaughton]

Belter. Still a little twee with some of the wood but by far the funkiest narrow boat I have seen. Would love to live on this and turn my back on the world.

[@scottmitchell8273]

40 times bigger than most London flats / motels

[@kepckatherinec805]

Lots of lovely features! Very nice for a family. But the boat is so long. Must make piloting a bit tricky.

[@realtugboat]

That's a beautiful narrow boat

[@presterjohn71]

This seems to be up for sale again but now for £215,000. How did they manage to put the price up?

[@MichaelsMustang]

That is likely a widebeam of the same name, double check the baot dimensions etc

[@jonnyjones5201]

Very nice I like the design, but one question why is the bow or stern thruster control located in the utility room & not at the helm?

[@chriscars3578]

Absolutely stunning boat 👍👍👍👍

[@matthewmelange]

8:25 I know it's called a narrowboat but is it really that thin? The couch could barely fit in it. I feel like the lens might've been better suited for wide angles and might've made the boat look more claustrophobic than it is.

[@MichaelsMustang]

Narrow boats are narrow so you have to be careful with colours , windows, furniture size wall placement etc. Some look enourmous beace all of these issues are addressed.

[@benjones4646]

Love the bed at the front - you don't have to squeeze into a 4ft one

[@Geordo1960]

Beautiful boat lots of privacy everything that you would need. I see nothing wrong with it but much good about it. Perfect for a family.

[@Matt19matt19]

Very nice apart from the sofa which was too big and facing nothing. But I'm sure someone could have a bespoke sofa fitted that's more like something youd see in a static caravan.

[@Dewsta26]

They forgot the storage on this one; and placed every TV in the most awkward places!

[@pornstarlivesmatter3319]

im in the usa but im curious as to why there aren't convertible type tops on these boats to be able to slide open part of the roof for an open air kinda feel? the only issue i have is just not enough outside feeling. also how about a camper type pop up area??? that could be used as an outdoor area or an extra sleeping area in nice weather??

[@katelights]

its Britain, not enough nice weather.

[@dtcov]

I ❤️ this boat

[@sire5582]

Would live in that. Very nice

[@MrsRobinson0741]

My only concern is the refrigerators are always lil dorm fridges...why not your basic RV or apartment fridge, especially if you live on it ?!?!? NOT this boat tho, others ;-)

[@DeHirvilammi]

AWSOME BOAT

[@jaydubua689]

Is the toilet supposed to be sideways in 1st bath/utility room?

Either that or it's for legless people :)

[@katelights]

the top bit swivels

I’m assuming newbies most definitely shouldn’t start out on a 70 footer, no matter ow beautiful.

If you understand the principles of how to operate a narrowboat and actually follow those principles a newbie can easily make one their first boat. Not the IF though.

[@tonyp011]

i can't understand why the 2 single berths have TVs and yet the double berth does not have a TV on this boat, nice looking boat though

Big boat, but no place for an table. Where owners should eat, where should seat more than 2 people? Go out to the front over the bed???? The oven in a small hole unter the TV? Not my boat.

[@stevechance150]

It has three private bedrooms. If it only had two then there would be room for a dinette. The family of 4 must have needed three private bedrooms.

Beautiful but needless to say, not for claustrophobes.

[@hotpepper7782]

Do all narrow boat have to be so long?

[@JasperJanssen]

This 70 foot is the longest they get, but is already too long for a few locks. 57 foot or under can go everywhere. But they go down as small as 25-30 feet, if that’s what you want and can afford.

[@Andrew-qb3oq]

Does anyone know how much this boat was? The link is gone

I believe it was £99,000

Would that fit in any locks ?

can 70 foot boats fit in all locks?

no 57 is max, if you want to go everywhere.

[@MichaelsMustang]

I know you asked four years ago, if you refer to the rugby boats canal map there are only four canals in the north that this can not go on so 99% of the system. I have been in one for three years now without any issues. If I really want to I can do those in a day boat one day.

as long as they liked it.

[@spencerwilton5831]

Liad Bar-EL bamboo makes excellent flooring. It's incredibly hard wearing, water and rot resistant, sustainable and affordable. It can be refinished if it needs it. It's certainly as durable as hardwoods and a fraction of the price. Plus it looks modern.

[@Matt19matt19]

People buy narrowboats to have them on a canal. It only needs to be suitable for a canal and nothing else. So it's not limited use really. Its suitable for the purpose someone would buy it for.

[@CriticalRoleHighlights]

It's bad enough when people make their apartments look dreadful in this modern black/gray/white style, but a narrow boat? This is just awful. There's no personality or character to this boat. It just looks completely dead inside. And it doesn't help that the layout is awful.

[@Darklightbeam]

Not surprised this boat is for sale. It's the worse designed canal boat I have ever seen. The windows are insecure. Why would anyone want the go on the canal and then just watch Tv? Circumstances have changed- you say for it to be up for sale. It's a dog's dinner. No one would want to live or go on this catastrophe of a nightmare. It would be more reasonable to walk the cut and find some ideal hotel accommodation. After one day they would forget the cut and stay in the ideal hotel. Gpx
