Narrowboat Audrey Too was built by Paul Widdowson. We hadn’t seen another boat by the same builder, but on arrival at Sheffield’s Victoria Quays, we were put near to a Paul Widdowson boat called Trilby.
Here’s the front deck of Audrey Too. I appreciate the handles cut into the steel to help you get on and off the boat, it’s a great feature that Paul adds to his boats.
Trilby is very similar in design, with similar but straighter handles, the same t-stud at the front and similar decorative touches on the roof and gas bottle hatch.
Here’s the cruiser style stern of Trilby. A large deck area, with plenty of room for people to stand at the back, and join the person who’s steering.
Trilby has a very interesting propeller configuration. Have a chat with the owner if you get chance. I missed them last time they passed through Tinsley Marina. I am interested to find out, just how well the prop works.
