Canal Boat Magazine

6 March 2025

Leading the news this month: CRT pressing the Government for more cash. Our reader photos are next followed by the Boat Test in which Adam and Andy test Mac by Stone Bespoke Narrow Boats. Martin then gives us a canal walk along the Bridgwater & Taunton. His Cruise Guide is next which this month is Part 1 of a 3-parter on the Thames Ring and this month is all about Banbury to Stoke Bruerne. Then, Martin’s Cruise Guide Extra features the Weedon Depot built to save us from Napoleon Bonaparte. Our ongoing boat restoration follows and this month it’s curtains for Claire. Ian Shaw is next and he looks at a company involved in boat haulage. Tim Coghlan then tries to unravel the mystery of the Braunston Rudder and our last feature shows off the talent of professional photographer Rick Turner.
