We’ve always wanted to find an alternative way of living and the idea of moving onto a canal boat came to us in September 2018. In January 2019 we bought Alba! Watch the full story here: bit.ly/AlbaEpisode5

❓ What’s the difference between a narrow boat and a double boat as far as what canals you can travel? Maybe like percentage of overall canals you can travel on with a wide beam boat, and also percentage of popular canals that you can still access in a wide beam boat? Because I know there are a lot of very narrow canals but I don’t know how many there are or if they are actually popular.b

That’s a great boat , when I lived in the UK my back garden used to lead straight onto the Grand Union Cannel towpath . I loved the cut it was like walking into the countryside when living in London . If I ever had to move back to the UK my first choice would be a wide beam . I couldn’t ever live in London again , it was bad enough then , by the looks of things it’s got a whole lot worse . Best regards from Vietnam 🇻🇳

very nice boat. after watching so many narrowboat vlogs i've decided that i think i'd feel claustrophobic on a narrowboat, so i'd get a widebeam instead. even though that means i couldn't cruise the entire system. though my favorite of all are Dutch Barges. 😁

For sure narrowboats are not for everyone. You’d still have a huge area to explore in a widebeam though, good luck finding your perfect one 😀💜 xx

@@widebeamadventures3485 What fun, that's what they are built for, extended coastal cruising. Fuel burn of the Lehman engines at 9 kn cruising speed is only around 2-3 gallons/hour, so range is not an issue for as long as you don't push them. Here in Canada, people take them all the way to Alaska for the summer, down to Mexico in winter. On the East coast, they go all the way to the Caribbean and beyond. I suspect that in Europe you could easily take one to the Med. They make brilliant liveaboards. My wife would love one, but for me, the sails are missing. Out of curiosity, what's the fuel burn rate per hour on your widebeam?

@CruisingAlba 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Andreas our engine is a little smaller (43 hp) and we roughly use a litre of diesel per hour of running in neutral. Going 3-4 mph on a canal is probably not much more (but we don’t know exactly). Sorry can’t be more specific
