Description

Aster will be at the top of Foxton locks for viewing between midday on the 30th to midday on the 1st June.
Here is a golden opportunity for an enthusiast to own a very special narrow boat.
M E Braine was instrumental in restoring numerous working boats during the late 50s and 60s.
In 1969 he started to build leisure boats and Aster no 101 was his first.
Those that know stepping on board will immediately recognise the beautiful wood work of Malcolm’s
This beautiful boat comes with a fitted tarpaulin for use in the winter to preserve the paint work and keep the interior dry and moisture free.
