First boat booked in for National Boat Share Show

The first boat has been booked in to attend the National Boat Share Show at Braunston Marina on 21st & 22nd of April.

She is Heron, originally built in 2010 by J D Boat Services.  She has been fully refurbished for shared ownership and a new syndicate is being formed.

Heron has a less common arrangement for allocating holiday times in which the shares are linked to fixed weeks in the year, which some owners find helps their forward holiday planning.

A 59ft semi-trad narrowboat with a forward saloon, Heron is also unusual in having two dedicated bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with two singles that can be configured as a double if required.  The saloon seating can also be re-arranged to provide an additional double bed.

Powered by a Shire 40 engine, Heron is currently based at Gailey on the Staffs and Worcester Canal just south of Stafford.  A few 1/12th shares are still available at £6,499.
