A fully revised and expanded edition of the only resource you'll need for choosing, owning and maintaining a narrowboat. The UK has over 2000 miles of navigable canals and rivers which are home to an estimated 35, 000 licensed boats, many of them narrowboats. Sales of new and used narrowboats have boomed since 2019. This book is the essential guide for new buyers, as well as a reference resource for experienced boaters. The book explains the choices involved in buying a boat, taking into consideration the various boating profiles. From those choosing to live on board permanently, to constant cruisers, weekend boaters and fair-weather cruisers, each will require a different type of boat if they are to fully enjoy their vessel. The book covers the legalities of purchase, the different features and utilities, finding a mooring, boating health and safety, the cost of boating, boat maintenance, boating etiquette and many other frequently asked questions. This is the inside story on buying, maintaining and using a narrowboat from someone who has done so for more than twelve years. This new edition has been fully revised and expanded with updated rules and regulations, boats and equipment, pricing and case studies. Information about life on board has been expanded with, for example, more coverage of boating and the environment.
