People tell me how difficult it is to find smaller boats, especially new. So, if only for my own amusement, a link to the Little Boat Company who specialise in tiny canal boats, the layout of which seems to be pretty similar to that of Tortoise. Small boats have more fun, as it should say somewhere...

It may be an offshoot of the same company, but 4-all marine (Chertsey) is now building 28 foot 4-berth narrowboats 'in response to the rcession'
I was very fond of my little (32') Andante. Now that did have nice lines for a small boat, recessed panels too. But nowhere comfy to sit, that was the killer.
Hi guys, I have been on one of these little boats and i must say i was very impressed. There is no MDF, the lounge is a good size and comfortably seats 4, the galley has loads of cupboard space is well equipped with all mod cons. The shower room is fantastic for a boat this size. My mate who owns the one I went on tells me "this is not an off shoot of 4 all marine, I,ve seen them" and "this bloke takes care to deliver a good product at a fair price" You can't argue with that.
