@NBSeaGlass Sad to hear there’s not a Boat Festival this year - it’s one of the best boating events we’ve been to. See you all next year 👍

A couple of tight moments on NB Coulomb Runnings’ recent journey to be launched #narrowboat #allelectricboat

NB Coulomb Runnings leaving our yard recently #narrowboat

The hand-painted tiller for NB Coulomb Runnings looked very jazzy #narrowboat

Come with me on a Sunday morning stroll around the 128 ft of boat no.19, to look at the stunning paintwork by Marco of Freelance UK Ltd (Ollerton, Notts) #narrowboat #newnarrowboat

Here’s the fabulous new rear canopy on NB SeaGlass by @titancanopies. The colour chosen is “Aqua” Fantastic job by fitter Mark and all the team, with a first class, responsive and professional service throughout the whole process #narrowboatcanopy

That exciting moment, when you step on to your own bespoke narrowboat for the very first time . . . . #narrowboat #narrowboatbuilder

@BickerBoats Best of luck and all good wishes for your future plans Kev and Sue. It was great meeting you at Crick 2019 - happy times never forgotten. Simon

And here’s Boat No 19 safely in place (at the side of NB Coulomb Runnings), ready for her fit out #narrowboat #newnarrowboat #boatno19

Boat No 19 being craned onto the lorry yesterday at XR&D Boatbuilders against a backdrop of bright blue skies - exciting times for Kim and Jon #narrowboat #newnarrowboat

[Narrowboats of Distinction @NBofDistinction]

Some more pics of Boat No 19 taken earlier today by XR&D Boatbuilders (thanks guys) of the paint job done by Marco of Freelance UK Ltd (Ollerton). We think the colour scheme Kim and Jon have chosen looks fantastic #newnarrowboat #narrowboatfitter

[Narrowboats of Distinction @NBofDistinction]

Today’s the day that Boat No 19 leaves XR&D Boatbuilders and is transported to our yard for fitting out. Here she is coming out after being fully painted by Marcus. More pics later #newnarrowboat #narrowboatfitter

[Narrowboats of Distinction @NBofDistinction]

Meanwhile, in Ollerton, Marcus of AEEngineering (the unit behind XR&D) has started the paint job on Kim and Jon’s boat (boat no. 19 - yet to be named) #narrowboat #newnarrowboat #narrowboatpainting

@ortomarine Stunning boat

[Narrowboats of Distinction @NBofDistinction]

Joy and Fred have lived on NB Breeze for just over a year now and tell us they are thoroughly enjoying narrowboat life. Their serene marina mooring has beautiful views and is the perfect place to relax, slow down and enjoy a gentler pace of life #narrowboat
