Crick Boat Show 2026

<p>We&#39;re back at Crick for the annual boat show, the biggest show in the boating calendar. We hear from the vlogger&#39;s Paul and Anthony from Narrowboat Life Unlocked about their new boat; we interrupt some live signwriting, and we hear about the tug which had a starring role in the Peaky Blinders film. The charity Forces Veterans Afloat explains how a boat can change lives. Plus we find out how canal water can be turned into drinking water, and how toilets can produce compost. And Macc the Boating Border Terrier enters a CRT photo competition, and we find out who wins the vote for Favourite Boat, and speak to the builders.</p><p>The Water Road is produced and presented by Adam Porter.</p><p>Useful Links:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/NarrowboatLifeUnlocked" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Narrowboat Life Unlocked</a> on YouTube</p><p><a href="https://eltonmoss.com/">⁠Elton Moss⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ortomarine.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Ortomarine</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/seawoodsignwriting/?locale=en_GB" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Seawood Signwriting</a></p><p><a href="https://waterfreedom.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Water Freedom</a></p><p><a href="https://www.fva.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Forces Veterans Afloat</a></p><p><a href="https://compoosttoilets.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Compoost Toilets</a></p><p><a href="https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Canal and River Trust</a></p><p><br></p><p>If you enjoy what I do, <a href="https://ko-fi.com/thewaterroad" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">consider supporting me on Ko-fi!</a> Every little bit means the world! </p>
