    Have a look for a business called Bolton profiles, I think they do kits or cutting files for them. All the best from Jeff.

    Narrowboat desing

    There are many narrowboat designs on the net. Selway Fisher has at least two available for purchase. One is for a steel narrowboat and the other for a plywood version. One design that I have not found is a design for a wide beam narrowboat that would be great for cruising areas where there is either a relatively mild chop or large wakes caused by inconsiderate boater. Changing the specs from a Fisher designed narrowboat to a wide beam version shouldn't be too difficult. Check out, www.SelwayFisherdesigns.com
