Oak remains true to traditional narrowboat design with its long forward tug deck, curved bow, and steel bow gas locker lid. But it also includes a number of clever design touches that set it apart. One standout feature is the additional rubbing strake running underwater from the bow to the stern swims, which helps reduce wear on the base plate over time. Every element has been carefully considered, combining the look and feel of a classic working boat with the comfort and innovation of modern living.
