It is nine metres long and the catamaran design makes it very stable - this enables safe transportation of up to 8 adults or up to 14 children plus a helm/coach. It can be used by all ages and any ability - it truly is a boat for ALL! The Bell Boat is ideally used as a school on water and gives those taking part a greater understanding of teamwork, individual strengths and co-operation. Above all, it's fun!
