Not related at all, the Normans were a design around the mid to late 1960'sfrom up Manchester way and the majority were narrow beam (max 8ft 6 inches) to go on the canals The Eysians were designed and built by Applyard and Lincoln near Ely in the early 1960s and were all wide beam at 9ft 6 inches wide.. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
