The Narrowboat GRALYN was built beside the
Manchester Ship canal at Irlam in a riding school by Mr G Pilling and Mr B
Probin. She was completed in 1993 and was
originally called Hide A Way. She is 40ft long and 6'10"wide and draws about 2'6" at the stern. She is
powered by a B.M.C. 2.2 ltr Commodore diesel engine through a 2:1 reduction gearbox to a 17"x11" propeller.
(Thanks to Brian and Norma Probin for the update on the boats origins and the
following picture)
