Ah, I see it includes passengers. Mine is 30m2 too, but 6′10″ times 42 feet.
You need to show us some more photos of yours and give us an update on its progress
i have been on many fiberglass or steel touring boats Cherie… but i love this wonderful wooden one….peter:)
She is a wonderful boat and I am glad we were given the tickets that allowed us to enjoy the trip
that was some detailed and engrossing info, CP.
The boat is impressive
Looks to be fine craft. Did the roof prevent any upwards views, though, unless you were sat not he outer edge of the boat?
She is a fine craft
You can only see upwards views at the front and outer edges of the boat. The seats in the middle are not fixed which allows that area to be used for a buffet or dancing or anything else you can think of!
The river itself is so calm.
They should punt a long this river instead!
It’s a very Cambridge thing.
It is a nice relaxing river
