Narrowboat Lost The Plot

Winner of the IWA 2008 Festival

“Cressy” award for the best
residential boat and the Calor
Rose Bowl award for the best
galley this fabulous narrowboat
is as good as it gets. The 12mm
bottomed trad shell is by John
Horton - a graduate of Les Allen’s
famous Oldbury yard whilst the fit
out by Streethay Wharf is simply
some of the best joinery I have
seen on a boat - both in attention
to detail and robust construction.
No expense has been spared
in any area, from the electrical
installation, the custom built
galley with its solid oak worktops,
to the well-planned saloon with its
reclaimed antique oak plank floor.
An impressive fully rebuilt Gardner
4LK graces the engine room and
the boatman’s cabin is as faithful
a reproduction of the real thing as
can be found. Suffice to say that
as a new build this boat would
cost in excess of £200,000 - with
Lost The Plot there is no waiting
time, the boat is tried and tested
and ready to go.
