Absolutely superb. Very well done. Brilliant camera work, no voice over required. I have learnt so much, as no narrow boats are on the Royal Canal where I live.

Beautiful boat, great handling of it in the locks! Especially liked you using the forward momentum of the boat to pull the lock gate closed as you were entering.....pretty smooth!

Nice to see the old skills being employed. I remember in the early days of hire boating on the Grand Union in the 1960's watching the remaining working boats doing the same. Back then the lock gates had bollards fitted to them to facilitate closing them with the boats. As hirers we were instructed not to copy them. Same applied to not dropping the paddles. There was far less maintenance of the canals back then.

OK to fast-drop the paddles today? I was under the impression that that was bad practice in any case!

Ótimo vídeo! Além das imagens serem muito bem feitas, é muito importante que não conta com áudio com música, mas sim o som do motor e de tudo que está ao redor. Talvez por na minha infância ter convivido com embarcações chamadas de " bateira " dando passagem várias vezes por dia a pessoas de uma margem a outra do rio, é que eu gosto tanto desse tipo de embarcação. Talvez por eu ter convivido com meu avô " Antônio " por parte de mãe, em uma olaria fabricando tijolos, e que a mesma era movimentada por um motor "a óleo" e que o barulho de tal motor marcou a minha vida. Muito obrigado aos responsáveis pela realização desse vídeo, e pelo bom trabalho.

A little more consideration for lock gates and gear wouldn't hurt! Yes, you may argue that they equipment can handle it, but it shouldn't have to. The CRT already struggles with maintenance, every boater should be doing whatever they can to ensure they help equipment last as long as possible between rebuilds. That means not using gates to stop the boat, not dropping paddles heavily. After all, why are you in such a rush?

Nice bit of lock gate bashing and paddle smashing. Typical lack of care as usually seen from anyone with classic boats. Its not the 1920 with 1000s of staff to fix everything any more. Worse than first time hireboaters the classic boat crowd. Should pay double license fee the lot of you.

Do you know what ? I usually love the old chug chug chug engines, but this one with it's erratic running sounds horrible ! I can't even watch the videos. Rotary engines that surge idle do the same thing to me, i guess it's because a surging engine to me, usually means there is a problem. Engines with a governor that surge usually have a fuelling or ignition problem so i guess i am conditioned to not like the sound of surging or mis-firing engines.
