You're right Art...could be cleaned through the waves;) A boater with such a low anchor, turning along his catway among other boats, the anchor touched something, then anchor dropped in the canal with a lot of noise from the chain, every one looked at him ;0):hide:... But you're right, never...

Still from Edmund Sylvester, 45ft (15m) barge "le Bon Viveur"; bon viveur tells good red wine and low canal fees (south of France); they tell (review) the Bon Viveur is quite steady (with chines, V hull...) despite Mistral wind (strong North wind around 60km/h with squalls) -1st photo and 2...

Anther view, 26ft mini-barge from Edmund Sylvester.

Trailerable mini-barge 26ft, from professionnal Boatbuilder Edmund Sylvester, some years ago, UK (ply/epoxy I beleive)

Nice Motor Barge design, ben2go, and good to have only one level for living aboard the small apartment. Yes, narrow beam tends to roll...may be increasing when rounded chines? And as you tell then draft should be bigger, when it's quite small in the Jolly Dutchman (most draft at skeg)...

Pénichette or Jolly Dutchman Pénichette 935 (1984-1995) ; 3.1m beam. Sometimes for sale, ex rent boats; no needs of license for renting one. Aluminium windows and sliding doors, lot of light inside! and quite good air vent in pilohouse for our, now too hot, Summer canal cruising...

Canal trial last year (one nice Jolly Dutchman with all bells and whistles, was for sale), quite small keel good for shallows but drift when windy, narrow hull good for trailering, sail-drive, water-ballast to get the boat level and some steadier... For one same boat length, in France, canal...

Thanks for your advice, GeorgS ! Sail-Drive an issue depending on the intended use: why? fresh water versus salty? Windage/low draft + some narrow hull + flat bottom = may be a lot of rolling ! Picture showing under water-line profile is somewhere (about just the one before the last 10 pics)...

Small flat-bottomed and rounded houseboat, replica hull from Tjalk: the "Jolly Dutchman", for canal cruising. Only 9 built, and a few for hiring. 9.2x2.55x0.75m and some up to 4.5T including 1.6T ballast from 4x400 liters ! (for when at sea or windy/choppy rivers; but not a hull for sea). 300...

:hide: not much, you're right!

Looks nice to my eyes. Don't know about the design.

Jacquesm, nice you know JP Brouns! I know him since the eighties, I was living in the Ardèche (dept) mountain not far from his small village. Still looking for my next classic small river-boat... His Mini-Troll would be nice, but the one for sale (MS) has got 2 bildge (side) keels 1m draft ->...

20 years there, you must know a lot the city, with cosmopolitan Unversity place, well famous for good Medecine. I'm North-East from Montpellier... but moving a lot. Right now writing from a lonely old farm at 1400 meters above sea-level (too hot now around Mptllier), walking with dog all day...

Hello I'm around Montpellier, sometimes in the Cévennes (small mountains)... Not yet with a boat. There are a lot of 2nd hand boats for sale around my place, often at good price (for buyers!) but not such as small trawlers...

Quite interesting small motor-sailer, I like. Should she be closer... Don't know for you, always sad when owner sells... much emotion invested in a design project...
