Braidbar Boats' Reginald Awarded Favourite Boat Crick 2023

Reginald No. 200 was awarded the prestigious award of the most admired narrow boat at the Crick Boat Show 2023 of a poll organised at the show of visitors to the show by boat insurance company Haven Knox-Johnston.

Reginald Braidbar Boats No. 200  is a 66 foot hybrid propulsion finished to an exceptional level. This is a milestone for Braidbar having built 200 boats and fittingly it is ready for Braidbar's 40^th anniversary in 2023.

The stunning sheerline hull, handcrafted by Tim Tyler is a josher tug deck with all the classic features. The fit out of Reginald is somewhat different. Although the underlying tried and tested features still remain at the heart of the build, the design of the boat is very different to normal, but those familiar features that have carried through the years still remain.

The boat has been lined out in faux leather and trimmed using black oak. This gives the boat an exceptional warm feel throughout. Capable of sleeping 6, the under tug bed area is accessed from a secret and unique feature within the saloon. The small room in the bow of the boat although cosy is a space to go to relax, and is fitted out with storage and seats.

The galley features Brazilian black cosmic granite on the worktops whose colours within the stone is a feature in itself. These colours are evident throughout the boat. The mood lighting throughout the boat adds to the character.

From a generous solar panel array to full remote monitoring this boat has all the latest tech and some truly outstanding features. A very special and once in a lifetime build!
