Re: Crusing 56' stylee

How irritating that Monmouthshire & Brecon canal spoils it, fancy making
a
bridge on a bend. Has anyone considered bendy canal boats like bendy
busses???? Who's stupid idea was that and where is it????

I believe the bend has been straightened out as part of road
reconstruction. It's a bit immaterial anyway, you can't get to the Mon
& Brec from the main system.

Yes, but what if for example you happened to be doing a TV series and did
want to cart your canal boat on the back of a lorry, you'd want to be able
to take a big enough boat to house some of the film crew on location to keep
costs down, having just bought a canal boat and paid to transport it to all
the different parts of the network....
