New Build Barge -  Build Blog Pages

If you have a barge under construction, or have completed a barge, and would like to share your knowledge and experiences (good and bad) to 'new to wide beamers' so that they can learn from your knowledge of purchasing and fitting out a broad beam barge, send 'your story' to me and I will add a page (or more) to this web site. All forms of broad beam barge welcome.

The only conditions are:-

  • The barge is your own, and will be for your own personal use. 
  • You are not in the boat building trade. 
  • You are not fitting out the barge for sale or profit. 

Where possible please write the  'article' in a way that is informative to other potential bargee's. The more photo's the better.

You will have your own web page like www.barging.co.uk/yourbarge where 'yourbarge' will be the name of your choice.

Contact Ian with details of your barge fit-out by clicking here
