My GRP hulled boat draws 2ft.8inches much more than most NBs.CKP.

Jeez! > > Bob Hey, hold on a minute Bob......... ....... I don't think I did misinterpret your post:, or I hope I didn't :-) You were talking about mooring on the 4 counties 30 years ago. The reason I asked if you had a GRP boat is because I was boating then in a shallow drafted GRP boat. It was often difficult in those days to get a shallow drafted boat against the towpath and we frequently had to use landing planks - I find it much easier these days to get a similar boat into the side. If you had a nb 30 years ago and disagree with my comment I am surprised as my experience is that most canals are now deeper than they were 30 years ago. I am surprised you have been upset by my comment about small GRP cruisers - I have spent much of my boating life in such boats and I certainly never got upset - even when people referred to some of my previous boats as *Noddy Boats*.
