build update

We are now nearing the end of building number 14, N/B 'Post Combustion', and will, all things being equal, launch her at Pillings Lock Marina, on December the 5th. She will be based there over winter, heading south in the spring. 

Quite a different style boat for us, but non the less very much a 'Beacon' boat still, many of you will recognise the familiar and popular colours of black, red and cream, but with a few twists this time.

This is, sadly, the last boat that Stem to Stern will be painting for us, however, we are very pleased to say that Oxon Boat Painting Co. will now be undertaking our coach painting for future boats. We are looking forward to working with them.

Number 15 is already underway, the hull is half built now, and we look forward to working with the next customers, Nigel and Sara. Their boat will be named 'Off the Rails', a reference to Nigels passion and involvement with Steam engines.

Don't forget, we run a facebook page where you can follow more closely the build process of each boat, just search 'Beacon Boats Ltd' on facebook, 'like' the page, and you will get our updates on your news feed.

Look out for the gallery description and photo's of number 14 around the end of the year.
