Description
We have often been asked for a wood version of a steel narrowboat and here it is. Narrowboats were of course made from timber in the first part of the last century although then, they used heavy boards of Elm and Oak. This version uses several layers of plywood with Pine frames and framework combining the old with the new.
The drawings are for the wood hull only but we do give a basic interior layout arrangement and we can give simple ply superstructure construction details from one of our other designs.
