Anyone familiar with design and style will recognize Craig O'Donnell's
cleaning up of the design for web appearance. I do not think it was ever
built, or fully thought out.

What I meant by holiday style was something comfortable and dry enough to
stay on for a few weeks, without the expense and permanence
of a house boat. I realize everyone has a different definition of what that
means. Do you have any more info on Bantam 16/20 or topaz?
Cheers

Bolger Boats that would be great for canals. The Bantam 16/20 is a
20' trimaran (sort of home-build cathedral hull) for rivers and
canals. Topaz would be a great canal boat.

Many have said that Loose Moose 2 that Phil designed for us was a great
canal boat having cruised 1500 miles of european canals before we took off
