September 2018

Possibly the smallest narrowboat on the network has recently become available for sale!
'Broke n Down' was hand-crafted by the engineers from Overwater Narrowboat Services to take part in this year's raft race at the RNLI festival; which took place alongside the Autumn Boatshare4u Boat show. This narrowboat marvel, and winner of the best-dressed category, was hand-painted and sign-written by Andy Russell and comes complete with mini-coiled ropes, chimney, and a mop and bucket.

If you would like the chance to own this floating work of art, and to do your bit for the RNLI, you can make an offer by calling the Overwater office on 01270 812677 or email info@overwatermarina.co.uk.

Peeky's Blinders, named in honour of workshop manager Simon Peek, have decided to re-launch their raft 'Broke n down' to raise funds for the Royal National Lifeboat Institute with this sponsored event...
