Norfolk manufacturer collaborates with Tyler Wilson on new range

Two established names in British

boatbuilding have joined forces

to create a new range of narrowboat.

Tyler Wilson, based in Sheffield,

and Broom Boats, based in Norfolk,

are creating a range of Tyler Broom

boats designed specifically for

inland waterway and canal cruising.

The boats will be marketed and sold

by Tingdene Marinas and Boat Sales.

The very first product of this joint

partnership is a 58ft narrow beam

semi-traditional stern model. The steel

work is carried out by Tyler Wilson

before the boat is then moved to

Broom’s Brundall base for fit-out, with

the yard designing the interiors as well

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

SUB OPTIMAL Model maker Bernd Filax spent four years building this

11m replica of a Seehund submarine, only for it to topple over on launching.

Sunseeker and H.R. Owen open

Luxury car and boat group create new joint base

Sunseeker Torquay and prestige car group H. R. Owen Ecurie have launched a

combined Dartmouth Summer Showcase. Based at the brand new Royal Dart

Development next to the lower ferry slipway in Kingswear and open until the

end of September, the two businesses

have opened an office dedicated to

‘the best of yachting and motoring.’

The venture aims to amalgamate the

car group’s key brands such as Bugatti,

Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini

with Sunseeker yachts. The venture

intends to promote both companies

in a series of events over the summer.

The steel work is carried out by Tyler Wilson

before the boat is moved to Broom for fi t-out

Broom to fi t out narrowboats

as handling the engineering. The idea

is to give them a lighter, fresher, more

contemporary interior than traditional

narrowboats in the hopes they will

appeal to a new audience who may

not have considered one before.

Matthew Harvey, managing director

of Broom Boats commented, “The

Tyler Broom product range marks

an exciting new venture for us. By

utilising Tyler Wilson’s expertise with

the steelwork, we can concentrate

our core boatbuilding and engineering

skills on building a fantastic boat.”

Neil Mallandain, sales director

of Tingdene Marinas and Boat Sales

added, “We have worked with Broom

for many years, and are delighted

to be collaborating with them on

this project”.

Broom boats have also recently

taken on the construction and fit-

out of English Harbour Yachts’ range

of cruisers.

The range of Tyler x Broom

narrowboats will feature

bright, modern interiors
