Hello All,

What a great Crick Show 2026! It was an absolute pleasure catching up with existing customers and also meeting so many new faces over the weekend. We really appreciate all the kind words and support, and we look forward to fulfilling the work for all the new customers we met at the show.

The heat was an absolute killer, but we all came away with a good tan! 😂

We’ll be getting back to everyone over the week while we catch up on enquiries, so please bear with us while we work through everything.

Opposite our stand, CRT were hosting a competition for the best looking dog… and the winner was Tilly!!!

We fitted Martin’s canopy the week before the show. Tilly’s dad! Thought we’d share the project along with some cute pictures of Tilly 😀

Hello everyone, we are all set up and ready for Crick Show! Come and find us at V16.

We’ve been busy working alongside Smith Wood Narrowboats to get their show boat ready, so make sure you go and take a look at “All the Time in the World” and check out their beautiful boat and brand new canopy.

🚤 Cruiser Stern Pram – Traditional Style 🚤

We had the pleasure of fitting this Cruiser Stern Pram Cover in black acrylic at Dunchurch Pools Marina last week — and even managed to get it installed while the sun was shining.

This cover was designed to the customer’s specific requirements, opting for a more traditional layout with turn-buttoned side panels and a separate wind surround. While many customers are now moving towards more modern zip-out configurations, it’s always nice to build and fit a classic design that stays true to the traditional narrowboat style.

As with all of our covers, it was carefully manufactured to ensure the right fit, clean lines, and long-term durability.

Whether you prefer a modern setup or a more traditional finish, we can design a canopy to suit both your boat and your personal preference.

🚤 Cruiser Stern Pram – Black with Red Trim 🚤

Here’s a lovely example of a Cruiser Stern Pram that we recently had the pleasure of fitting outside our office at Braunston Marina.

This canopy was manufactured in black acrylic canvas with a red trim, creating a sharp, clean contrast that really stands out against the lines of the boat.

The design features fully zipped-out side panels, along with two vertical zips running down to the floor to create a practical and easy-access doorway. This layout is becoming increasingly popular compared to the more traditional turn-button side panels, offering greater flexibility, cleaner lines, and improved day-to-day usability.

As with all of our covers, this pram was built with careful attention to fit, tension, and finish — ensuring it not only looks right but performs exactly as intended.

If you’re considering upgrading your Cruiser Stern setup, we can design a canopy tailored specifically to your boat and how you use it.

🚤 Cruiser Stern Pram, Framed Cratch & Top Boxes 🚤

Here we have a beautifully finished set of covers for the boat Miss Vida, including a Cruiser Stern Pram Cover, Front Framed Cratch Cover, and matching top boxes.

All covers were fully designed in CAD and signed off by the customer prior to production, ensuring every detail was agreed and visualised before manufacture. The covers were handcrafted in Taupe Sunbrella Plus and supported by a 25 mm stainless steel framework, giving a clean, strong, and long-lasting finish.

This project was for Paul, who kindly took the time to share his experience of working with us by leaving a 5-star review — which you can see in the final image.

Projects like this are a great example of how CAD-led design combined with quality materials results in a canopy system that not only looks right but performs exactly as intended.

If you’re considering a bespoke canopy setup for your boat, we can design it with you from the ground up to suit your exact requirements.

🔥 Customer Success Story – DIY Gazebo Panels 🔥

We love seeing jobs like this!

Martin used our online Gazebo Panel Builder on our website and fitted the panels himself – and honestly, he’s done an amazing job 👏

Martin filled out our online form, entered all his dimensions and requirements, and from there we took care of the rest. Using the information provided, we designed the gazebo panels and sent over a CAD drawing for approval. Once approved, the panels went straight into manufacture and were shipped out shortly after.

✅ Quick turnaround
✅ Fast shipping
✅ No hassle

Thanks to our CNC cutting machine, we’re able to manufacture gazebo panels exactly to each customer’s required dimensions, ensuring a precise fit every time.

These panels were manufactured in Graphite Sunbrella Plus, giving a clean, modern finish that’s built to last.

If you’re thinking about building your own gazebo panels, check out our online form here 👇

🚤 Cruiser Stern Cover – CAD Designed 🚤

Here we have a smartly finished Cruiser Stern Cover, fully designed in CAD from the outset. Using a combination of detailed measuring data and 3D scanning, we created a realistic, to-scale 3D model for the customer to review and approve prior to manufacture.

This digital design stage allows the customer to clearly visualise how the cover will look on their boat before it is manufactured, while also giving full flexibility to adjust window shapes, zip positions, and the overall layout until everything is exactly right. This approach removes uncertainty and ensures confidence in the final design.

Once the CAD model was signed off, the design was brought to life using our proven build methods, with close attention to fit, tension, and overall finish.

This particular cover was handcrafted in Admiral Navy acrylic canvas — a durable, marine-grade fabric that offers excellent weather protection while maintaining its shape and appearance over time.

If you’re considering a bespoke canopy or cover for your boat, our CAD-led design process ensures accuracy, clarity, and a perfect fit from the very beginning.
