Careful Barry, you're beginning to sound a bit like Adrian with this wide beam / broad beam definitions business. Anyway, I'm not certain, but think you may be wrong with 7ft as the *maximum* width of a narrowboat. I have a vague recollection of reading somewhere that some working narrowboats were built to 7'0.5" gauge? Terry Streeter NB Arun - Stockton [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
