Warwickshire Fly Boat Co. has a long history of specialising in the repair and refurbishment of working narrow boats. Latterly a number of new boats have been constructed incorporating the shape,character and good swimming and handling characteristics of the originals. Needless to say that the majority of the boats on our moorings reflect this.
Our dry dock is operated by [http://www.stocktondrydock.com/|Stockton Dry Dock Co.](01926814441, E.mail Graeme graeme@stockton-dry-dock-company.co.uk) who continue to undertake refurbishment,repairs and replicas. One of their new working boats, Arundel, is currently regularly carrying on the GU gravel run frequently paired with butty Betelgeuse. Recently two BCN day boats have been completely refurbished using modern and original hot rivetting tecniques and may be seen in use at the Black Country Museum.
Warwickshire Fly Boat Co. operate moorings on the main line of the Grand Union canal, and on the Kayes Arm. We also operate a canal side shop and summer tea rooms. We sell a number of boats on brokerage currently including original working boats,restorable hulls and newer replicas,with rebuilt vintage engines of course! See under [narrowboats for sale].
