Brecon Beacons Trust Have Put Their Trust In Us









We are extremely grateful to the Brecon Beacons Trust for supporting our "Beacon Bio-Boat" environmental education initiative . The grant will enable us to achieve our vision for a floating classroom for local school parties to learn about the natural environment of the Brecon Beacons National Park.




Goytre Wharf Mooring Secured












ABC Leisure who operate Red Line Boats and now manage the whole of the Goytre Wharf site have kindly agreed to grant us the use of a mooring at the Wharf from which to run our Community Boat.

They have offered us a superb mooring position near to the Cafe which is already equipped with the necessary water and electricity supplies. We look forward operating from there during the coming summer season.

Many thanks to Hannah the new Goytre Wharf Manager.




Brecon Beacons National Park Authority 

Grant our Wish




We are delighted to report that the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority have offered us a grant under the Sustainable Development Fund initiative. The Authority is particularly keen to support our "Beacon Bio-Boat" eco-tourism and environmental education initiative catering for local school parties. We are most grateful to the Authority.

Motor-ing Ahead



Due to the generosity of the Lynch Motor Company we are able to replace our two ageing 72 volt electric motors with two brand new innovative, highly efficient, low maintenance, 48 volt ones. The units will come complete with Lynch designed and built Controllers and Throttle Levers.

Whilst having the same Lynch Motors as Gloriana, regrettably our Community Boat will have rather less ornamentation and gold leaf!




We are extremely grateful to Director Trevor Lees, who we suspect has a soft-spot for the Mon & Brec Canal.
