Welcome to my Channel. My name is James and I do up Narrowboats. I didn’t think I did but in 2020 I bought my first narrowboat.

The first 400 or so videos are about me renovating Sloe Patrol, a 50 year old 43 ft Springer Narrowboat with an old Lister SL2 engine. She was to become my little floating home in and around London on the Grand Union Canal.

After renovating her and living on her for almost 3 years I was looking at the future and worrying about out growing Sloe Patrol; I was lucky enough to be given an old boat from someone who could no longer use it. It was called Project 57, a 57 ft Price Fallows Narrowboat with a Vetus 42 engine.

So videos 400(ish) onwards are about Project 57 and her full and thorough renovation back to full glory. So please join me as I get cracking
