Moment in Time on test


We've been away, and during the holiday the March edition of Canal Boat came out.  It includes my boat test of Moment in Time, a Fernwood boat which has been planned down to the size of every cupboard and drawer.

Easy All on test


The January edition of Canal Boat is in the shops, and includes my review of Easy All, a 67footer by Heartwood.  David's photos of the exterior look particularly good this month; you'd never know that we spent the morning dodging showers, that it was really windy, and rather cold.

Revilo on test

This month's Canal Boat is out, and includes my review of Revilo, a 60ft boat by GWV with a Russell Newbery engine in the back.  A lovely boat, and really quite special to steer.
