BCBM has acquired narrowboat Oakmere to offer for shared ownership. Oakmere won the Lionel Munk Trophy for the best new commercial boat at the Inland Waterways Association Festival in 2011 and is the current holder as there was no IWA Festival in 2012.
Oakmere was fitted out by the Navigation Narrowboat Company at Nantwich who also fit out the new boats commissioned by BCBM. They also won the Lionel Munk Trophy in 2010 with BCBM's first new boat, First Dawn.
Oakmere is a 59 ft Josher style tug with trad stern, engine room and tug fore-deck originally built for a private owner to a very high specification. There are very few shared ownership narrowboats with trad sterns and this will be the only one that I know of that is a Josher style tug. The new syndicate will have twelve 8% shares and one 4% share, and a full share will cost £10,950.
Full details of Oakmere with pictures and specification should be on the BCBM Boat Share website very soon.
