ALLEN REGISTER

Ibvicta:-- BW Number 69170: November 2008
Here is a true Allen boat steeped in the history of the Allens.
This boat presently up for sale on the link below was the home of Jim Horton the brother of John who built boats with the Allens. Whether in fact it is a true Allen is of little value as it was built at the yard by John and Jim with the help of the Allens. The boat moored at the yard and was the home of Jim and his wife for years. Cruised the system and was kept immaculate as was its mooring that shamed the rest of the yard. Jim was taken suddenly ill and had to come off the water a number of years ago.
If anyone wants an Allen steeped in the history of the yard etc this is the boat.

Listed as For Sale on Apollo Duck in the Traditional narrowboat section: Advert No 98374
Built in 2004 as she is not a true Allen but built by John Horton who worked at the yard. When the Allens finished John continued to build boats, although never advertised by John as replicia Allens everybody knew that they were the next best thing. Ray Bowen of Streethay Wharf bought a number of shells from the Alens and fitted them out. Always top quality fitouts Ray continued with John after the yard closed. This boat is of top quality having a Gardner 4LK in an engine room. Winner of a number of awards for its fitout when new.
