We are pleased to announce that Mavis and Fred Sweetman have now found a buyer for Here We Go Again. Although I know they will be sad to see her go, she is going to a great new owner who plans to live aboard, in order to explore the great…
We are pleased to report that we have been successful in our bid to build the new Day Trip Boat for the Droitwich Waterways (Pamela May) Trust Ltd. Due for completion towards the end of March 2019, the 50′ narrowboat “Pamela May 2” will feature all-electric drive, multiple solar panels,…
Please forgive the lack of recent updates to our website – purely down to how busy we have been over the past 6 months. Here are some highlights of what we have failed to report! Eau Rouge was sold to Mhairi and David Middleton (from South Africa) in April 2018. The…
We were contacted by Rob Mears this week to say that he is reluctantly going to have to sell Eau Rouge. Unfortunately, his wife Karen’s health has taken a turn for the worse and they are going to have to put the boat up for sale. They are not going to…
We have been in discussions with the Waterways World Technical Editor, Mark Langley, since the Crick show this year. We told him we were building a Diesel/Electric Hybrid boat, and he was very keen to review it. We completed “Stray Not Far”, a 58’6″ semi-trad narrowboat, with a Charles Rennie…

We completed “Eau Rouge”, a 57′ semi-trad narrowboat, for Rob and Karen Mears in September 2017. Rob is an F1 fan and the boat is named after the famous bend on the Belgium F1 circuit. Towpath Talk were keen to review one of our boats and Rob and Karen were…
Our latest finished boat “Suzanne Marie” (a 62’6″ cruiser stern, 8 berth hire boat, for Marine Cruises) left us on Wednesday 12th July to start her journey up to the Falkirk Wheel. We managed to achieve our goal of “one out / one in”, to minimise transport and crane charges…
We have been asked by several prospective customers if we can recommend any specialist finance companies who can help them with financing their dream narrowboat. We are now pleased to recommend Pegasus Finance – who offer flexible, affordable loans specifically for purchasing all types of boat. Please click on FINANCE in our header…
