Have you ever hired a narrowboat? Are you thinking of buying one? Have you thought what it's like to live on one? Dreams of life on a traditional narrowboat conjure up images of locks, rustic arched bridges, peaceful waters, and warm, green countryside. But can this become reality? Trevor Yorke believes it can, and in a book that will surprise and inform, he covers all aspects of narrowboats. There are sections on the history of the craft; the various types; the functions of the different areas of the boat from the hull to the engine, the special decoration; and how to cruise them. Most importantly there is advice on every aspect from someone who has had a lifetime of involvement with narrowboats.
