  • To represent the interests of the users of such boats in their dealings with all waterway authorities and other relevant organisations.
  • To promote awareness of historic narrow boats through an archive, website, newsletter and other activities.
  • To promote and campaign for the retention and/or reinstatement of appropriate traditional and historical waterway furniture, features and working practices.
