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...

The barge speeds along at 4 mph

At a 'mighty' 65 horsepower, the BMC diesel engine easily drives the 16 tonne barge along at 4 mph (the canal speed limit)!
