Peccadillo Barge specifics
The barge is a 50 foot canal boat of traditional build and proud to be the only privately owned commercial vessel on the canal in the Glasgow area.
With her unusually wide beam of 9' 6" she is much wider than
the more common Narrow boats (6' 8"), but is still narrow
enough to access all of the Scottish lowland canals.
Peccadillo easily accommodates 6 - 10 people on day trips, and has a Draft (depth in the water) of 2 Foot with an Air Draft (depth out of water) of 7 Foot.
Spacious inside, the
barge has a homely feel for a weekend break or can easily
be re-arranged for a corporate training day out.

The Engine Specs
Peccadillo is powered by a resilient diesel BMC 2.5. For a closer look, just ask the skipper, she's always happy to provide you with a look-see, but take an oil rag down with you...
At a 'mighty' 65 horsepower,
the BMC diesel engine easily drives the 16 tonne barge along
at 4 mph (the canal speed limit)!
