Narrowboat External Tour: The Fixes We've Made & The Improvements Coming We're Making!

🚤 60ft of Narrowboat: The Faulty Fabric, The Leaks & The Scratches That Refuse to Leave! & The Updates ⚓ 60 foot of steel, dreams, and one very dramatic canopy — here’s what we’ve fixed, what’s next, and why “brand new” definitely didn’t mean “finished”! 🛠️ When she rolled out of the yard, we thought we were done. Famous last words! 😂 Our 60ft beauty came with a canopy that looked the part — turns out the fabric was faulty from day one, leaking faster than a lock with a broken paddle 💧. We finally waved the white flag and had it replaced — better late than soggy! Then there’s the centre line — yes, we NEED one! Turns out 60ft of boat without one handles like a shopping trolley with three wonky wheels in a gusty crosswind 🎯. And those scratches? The pesky little battle scars that keep appearing — they multiply faster than ducks on a summer morning and refuse to be ignored! 🦆 Join us for the full story — the faulty fabric, the plans, the centre line upgrade, the scratches we’re still debating whether to polish out or name after family members… plus all the other tweaks and upgrades we’ve got planned for our 60ft home afloat! 💪 👇 Tell us — has YOUR canopy ever leaked so bad you thought you’d bought a submarine? And are YOUR scratches also permanent guests?
