ABOUT BRONINGTON
Bronington is a jointly owned, semi-traditional style narrowboat
launched in May 2007. There are 12 shares which are currently
held by 9 owners. We have engaged BCBM to manage the boat for
us.
In 2007 and 2008 the boat was moored at Stockton Top Lock (Grand
Union Canal) and from 2009 to 2011 at Tattenhall Marina on the Shropshire Union
Canal. From the beginning of 2012, Bronington will be moored
at the Aston Marina on the Trent and Mersey Canal.
With a length of 58’, Bronington is suitable to cruise the entire UK
inland waterway system in all seasons whilst providing living accommodation for up to
four people.
| The front deck and bow provide seating and storage including the water tank. Hydraulic bow thrusters are fitted
to assist manoeuvring. |

Full height and full width folding glass doors open on to the front
deck from the open plan lounge, dinette and galley.
The lounge is
furnished with a sofa bed and equipped with satellite TV, DVD/CD
player and radio. At night, the dinette can be converted to a double
bed which, together with the double sofa bed, provides accommodation
for guests. Full length dividing curtains provide privacy to both
areas. Storage is provided for guests under the work top
dividing the galley and dinette and under the dinette seating.
A solid fuel stove in the lounge augments the central heating
throughout the boat. |
