Welcome
to Red Line Boats
|
|||||||||||||||||
 One of the reasons that people continue to holiday with us is because our boats are so easy to handle.
This is due to their hull design, which is made to suit the special conditions and comparative
shallowness of this old and beautiful canal. The fun and excitement of being in charge of your own boat
and exploring unfamiliar waters is an adventure which appeals to both young and old alike, with the
large after-deck providing room so that you can all have fun taking turns at being captain.
The children will be constantly amused. No busy roads here to worry about, and buoyancy aids are
available for them, so enabling you to relax even more as you enjoy the fresh air and delight in the
slowly changing scenery. Perhaps just two of you want to go, then our boats are still easy to handle.
And, as the gradient is only inches per mile, the towpath walks are easy for all ages. |

There are fitted carpets throughout and adequate storage space but it must be remembered however that
although they are fitted out to a high standard and provide generous accommodation they can never be as spacious as your home.
The boats are each powered by a modern, electric start diesel engine.

very easy to operate with forward and reverse on a single lever. Full control of the boat is achieved by
tiller steering.
