Marine's 5912-Dorsal antenna - see page 17, we then have more fantastic photos sent in by our readers, followed by the regular Boat Test from Adam Porter and Andy Annable, which this time focuses on the 200th boat (Reginald) built by Braidbar Boats. New contributor to Canal Boat, Ian Shaw, tells us about Mercia Marina which is based in the centre of the East Midlands.Martin Ludgate then takes us on the trail of the Somersetshire Coal Canal, which he follows on with the Cruise Guide along the Avon Navigation and the Cruise Guide Extra looks looks back to the 17th Century opening of the historic Warwickshire Avon Navigation - and to the 20th century story of its rescue from dereliction. Next, we have the first part of a new feature, following the ups and downs of the editor trying to build a one-metre long narrowboat from a kit. Tim Coghlan then takes us on part two of his winter walk - Bristol fashion and then gives us a story on two commemorative canal-bank benches installed at Stoke Bruerne.
