Two boats, City of Hull and Waterstart, are planning to come to York in the summer of 2008, to give groups who live in York and the surrounding area the opportunity to experience the many benefits of community boating.
M/V City of Hull, based at Sobriety’s Surewaters project in Selby, and M/V Waterstart, part of Sobriety’s Waterstart project in Thorne, are both broad beam canal boats capable of carrying up to twelve passengers and are fully fitted out with galley and toilet facilities. Both are accessible to wheel chair users and have experienced crews well used to working with people who have special needs.
The boats are available for use by organized, although not necessarily formally constituted, groups who then have sole use of the boat.
M/V Waterstart in York:
Monday 12/05/08 - Wednesday 20/05/08
Monday 07/07/08 - Friday 18/07/08 inc.
M/V City of Hull in York:
Monday 18/07/08 - Thursday 30/07/08
For the dates that the boats are available in York bookings should be made through The Yorkshire Waterways Museum.
