Maybe you could find the time to explain the term "Cratch". Many narrowboats have a cratch cover (sometimes with a cratch board) at the front of the boat but what it covers is called the well deck. Why isn't it called a well deck cover? What is the purpose or function of a cratch?
brave to walk round the boat using the gunwales - something I'd rather avoid. unfortunately my boat is currently tied on the outside of two others so it's my only access. people often watch from the bridge hoping I have a Laurel & Hardy type accident and fall in.
Useless piece of information,as you have a squared off stern it is actually more fuel efficient as it moves through the water strange as it seems.told you it was useless.
Perfect. Very helpful. Just moved onto a narrowboat so this was just what i needed

Easy way to remember Port and starboard..... Port has four letters the same as Left .
Get to the back of the boat, he said sternly.
