Maid Of Oak

Our new wooden narrow boat is being built by Jem Bates of Bates Boatyard (Puttenham) on the Aylesbury arm of the Grand Union Canal. It is 57 feet long and we hope to take delivery in 2005.

Maid of Oak's hull was launched into an icy canal on the 30th of January 2004. A cabin has since been built and the interior is being fitted out.
