Nick Wolfe

Around 2000/2001 I enquired about a job with British Waterways while at a show, and was told they weren't taking people on, then was handed a leaflet for 'The Friends of the Working Boats ​( now 'The Working Boat Project`).  

​This got me deeply interested in the Waterways of England and Historic Boats and Canal Carrying.
​
After several years of steering and then skippering B.W.'s fleet of Historic Boats around shows, I joined 'The Narrow Boat Trust`to get experience with loaded boats, becoming a Senior Skipper, Training Officer and Boat Manager.

I had already decided by then I wanted my own boat, and to 'work it.  Using my travels with the NBT as an observation platform, I  found the 'Aldgate` at Denham on the Grand Union Canal, and bought her in Sept 2007.
After a year of restoring the boat to carrying condition, I set up "Nick Wolfe - Canal Carrying Company" 
​
I am a RYA  qualified Helmsman and MCA qualified Boatmaster.
