I have a half height wall in my house that has a 6'10" wide gap. I can't think how many times while taking the few steps to pass it, I have thought ... that's it ... thats the whole width of a narrowboat.
I am impressed at the ingenious ways some people utilise that remarkably restrictive space.
This blog was going to be about pull-out beds and multi-function layouts generally, but I gladly digress a little and will write about a boat from one of my favourite builders, Barn Owl Boats.
The boat is Octavia , which I discovered via Nb Caxton's blog, to be the "boat with the bed" pictured on the Barn Owl website (being a pull-out bed I intended writing about).
Anywayyyyyyy ...

Travelling bow to stern - entry to the salon is via
curved stairs cleverly housing a double bed.
A very tasty galley leads onto a dinette.
A compact and comfortable bathroom followed by a fixed double in the
stateroom complete the internal layout before exiting to the semi-trad stern.
Go here for a complete set of pics ... it's worth the trip.
Kudos to Octavia's owners and happy boating.
