If you are interested in boat building or conversion have a look at Narrow Boat

ranworthbreeze · May 10, 2015

I have been watching a rerun of a programme (currently on Quest) called Narrow Boat which features the conversion of the Narrow Boat "Dover". The programme is introduced by Alan Herd. Although an old programme dates from around 2005/2006, most of the techniques used were cutting edge at the time and many are still featured today.

For information on this programme see this link:-

There are lots of DVD's on Amazon about Narrowboats, some that have been shown on tv.

Hi Geoff,

I ordered this morning the full series of Narrow Boat, Narrow Boat Afloat and Guy Martin's the boat that Guy built, delivered for £17.51.

I only caught a few of the Guy Martin programme and I have not seen at all the Narrow Boat Afloat.

Regards

Alan

Hi Alan,

Glad the link to Amazon was of use. The Guy Martin Series is very good, already got this set. I notice that there are some dvd's covering various canals, click on page 2. But some of them are out of stock. Maybe worth trying one, to see what they are like.

Here is their website.
