Warble Narrowboats
Warble Narrowboats was founded by husband-and-wife team Kevin and Janet Wadsworth in the late 1980’s. Their company became synonymous with high quality design of steel hulls, quickly gaining a reputation for a very high standard of outfitting and painting.
They won many prestige awards for “Best UK Canal Boat” at various National Boat Shows throughout the UK; indeed, narrowboat Midnight won an IWA best boat in show upon completion in 1993 (Commemorative plaque near Morse controller) They also exported their narrowboats to the US, one of their first boats being the “Californian” built for an American client.
For various reasons Kevin subcontracted his steel hulls out to Jonathan Wilson, a local boat-builder also of good repute who used the original hull patterns to fabricate the steel hulls, transporting them to Warble’s boatyard for finishing.
Sadly, they are no longer trading, but their legacy of excellent craftsmanship lives on in the numerous Warble boats still to be seen on the canal networks across Europe and the USA.
The company was sold around 2004 to Lees Narrowboats of Hyde, a company run by a father and son team that unfortunately has since gone into liquidation.
