Thanks to a very generous donations from a wonderful lady who wanted to leave a charitable legacy in memory of her husband, specifically for an accessible boat, the Wizard II – John B will be launched in 2026.
The accessible narrowboat is currently under construction, and will not only be fully accessible but will also be able to be driven by wheelchair users. Wizard II – John B will also be significantly bigger than the original Wizard, at 10ft 6in wide and 50ft long, with full central heating, a galley kitchen, a quiet engine and detachable windows.
