"NB Meridian" was built for The Boatshare Company by John White, fitted out by Dursley & Hurst Limited and launched in April 2002.

It originally had a Lambardini 4 cylinder engine that proved to be problematic and  was subsequently replaced in 2005 with a new Beta Marine 33hp engine with hydraulic gear box.

Heating is by a Diesel Central Heating system and a solid fuel stove. There is a 150 gallon freshwater tank of stainless steel construction fitted below the front deck. A 12 volt electrical system provides lighting and runs a full size electric fridge. A high level oven and hob is run from a Calor Gas supply.

The bathroom contains a basin, bath with shower above, and a pump out toilet. There is a full range of kitchen, dining and, of course, boating equipment.

The sleeping arrangements comprise of a fixed double bed with mattress, a diner that converts to a double bed and two single sofa bed chairs. The owners recently decided that they would provide their own sheets, pillowcases, duvets etc.

In boat entertainment consists of a Television and fixed Radio/CD player.
 

The Owners have an Annual Meeting each October when decisions are taken regarding maintenance, mooring and overall running of "Meridian".
