Latest 'Charnwood Choice' 2024!

4^th April 2024

With two of our three current boats attending Crick in May, it's time to start planning the arrival of a new commission boat ........due after Crick, for fit-out beginning the start of June!

To say the team are excited is an understatement, as this yet unnamed boat has many innovative features!

At 61ft, this Eurocruiser is a combination between Dutch barge and traditional style narrowboat,  with wrap around seating at the rear and to maximise interior cabin space a Dutch barge style bow to replace the well deck.

The interior will be a reverse layout, but that's where any similarity to our previous boats ends! Fit-out will mainly be walnut, with an oak floor, and heating will be underfloor, with a solid fuel stove taking pride of place!!

The steel baseplate was put down a couple of weeks ago and the shell, as you can see, is coming together nicely!

If you have a dream boat swirling around in your head and need a bespoke builder, whether in shell or fit-out, please call Chris Williams on 07963974793 or email chris@ovationboats.co.uk to discuss your ideas!

We have the skills & expertise to make your dream a reality and with one remaining build slot this year, you too could be living the dream very soon!!
