Narrowboats at Northern Boat Show

IN ADDITION to the usual sailing and power boats etc usually associated with boat shows, the boat show in Liverpool will feature narrowboats from a number of companies.

The Northern Boat Show have announced that more narrowboats will be joining its line-up of power boats, ribs and sailing boats on show at Liverpool on the 23rd to the 25th June.

The show is part of the Mersey River Festival, its organisers telling us that it will give its visitors, interested in getting on the water, the opportunity of seeing the full spectrum of the leisure marine market from boat builders, canoes, kayaks, sail makers, marinas, holidays, chandlers, water sports and engine manufacturers to marine finance, clothing specialists and navigation equipment.

Canal boats being exhibited will include those from Tyler Broom, Narrowboats Ltd, Viking Canal Boats and  locally-based Collingwood Boat Company. Including narrowboats, broad beams and even a floating apartment.

Armed forces display

The event will also include historic ships, boat racing, music to a wake-boarding competition, with plans for some of the most spectacular and iconic displays from the Armed Forces being welcomed to the city on Saturday 24th June.
