Top one has an offside mooring below the last lock as you start to come into Leaminton Spa from Stockton . 

Yes, I saw it there when we went to Warwick this time last year.

If I remember correctly it was right by a bridge in a spot extremely well shaded by trees so it's possibly looking rather green by now.

It was there last weekend. It's an unusual looking craft, anyone know the history?

It is a design based on one hull of a New Zealand sailing catamaran I believe. It's only had an outboard for the last 2 years, before that it was poled or bowhauled around.

An ideal brief for designing a boat for the British canals, then!

You are right its daft. So why do a few narrowboat owners take their silly skinny narrowboat across to the fab waterways of Europe :blush: its an absolute nonsensical thing to do but hey ho.
