Good question. Not necessarily, although V shaped hulls are well known to roll more than flat bottom hulls. We cannot be sure of the exact reason that this boat rolled, but I think that it would have been just very unfortunate for the owners in terms of how it got caught on the cill...
@ lol my pet hates forced adverts like sky news app videos and music on UA-cam “engineering” type vids. Would prefer hearing grinders, welders,compressors etc. even worse is the colonials and their guitar riffs over everything, dumbing down, that’s why Ed left wheeler dealers. Hate it, yes I’m aware of the mute button and missing the dialogue in between non essential music. 😂
@ I saw similar minutes after it happened on the K&A. Solo lady not paying attention on her phone. Her scream got some attention but too late, bow down sunk.
Despite the task in hand being difficult and fraught with danger, RCR made it look easy, which is the sign of true expertise.
Great job. That's why I have joined the RCR. Great value and peace of mind...
Thankyou for joining us, in the nicest way to possible say it, we hope that you'll never need us... but we're always there!
A bunch of lads knowing exactly what they are doing !!!
Heartbreaking for the owners. I politely ignore everyone when in a lock they are dangerous places xx
Great work.
Cracking vlog thanks lads :)
Wonder how much that will cost to put right, I would guess it would need gutting and total refit
Did the fact that the boat is a Springer with a V shaped hull make it more vulnerable to tipping over ?

Lot of nonsense talked about v shapes . I have a springer and the v is very slight . They are not destroyers !
Good vid but bin the music.
Interesting vid ....... but watched it with the sound muted !!!!

How do you get caught on the Cill with a 35' narrowboat?
What is wrong with people?

@VictorVictor-hq7ui it only takes a second to divert your attention, they were just very unfortunate
