The key distinguishing features of a narrowboat are the decorations and fixtures and fitting such as on the side of the boat along the ornate lettering giving the boat's name and the owner. Another distingushing feature is the narrowboats width which must be no more than 7 feet wide to navigate the narrow canals around Britain. Todays modern narrowboats are usually 6 feet 10 inches wide to be sure of easy passage everywhere. The maximum length of a narrowboat is approximately 72 feet which is the length of most locks on Britains narrow canals. Although modern narrowboats tend to be shorter than this to enable them to be able to cruise anywhere on the connected network of British canals Narrowboats of varing lengths can be hired to navigate the British canals from about 30 feet upwards.
