Book Description

Publication Date: August 24, 2003 | Series: Travel

This is a complete guide to inland boating, from getting afloat to boat handling, and it is the only book readers will need to take their first steps afloat on the inland waterways. With over 3000 miles of navigable waterways in Great Britain, with more in Ireland and Europe, there is something for everyone, and this book explains how to do it - from which boat to choose, whether to hire or buy, how much it will cost and where to go, right through to boat handling, maneuvering, maintenance and repair.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...your perfect introduction to cruising." Boat Mart Magazine (2006) 'It... really makes a good reference book for anybody to have on board their boat.' Boat Mart (April 2007) 'The book boasts that it is 'The complete guide to boating on rivers, lakes and canals'. And it makes good that boast. So if you are thinking of barging or boating on the UK's waterways, I don't believe you'll find a better guide.' Sailing Magazine (March 2007) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

About the Author

Emrhys Barrell has spent a lifetime afloat, for pleasure and for work. He has managed boatyards, designed boats, and edited boating magazines, covering craft from the smallest dinghies to the most exotic luxury yachts. But his greatest passion is for the inland waterways of Great Britain and Europe. From his home alongside the Thames at Goring he looks out over what is possibly the UK's most famous boating river. The family's 48ft narrowboat allows them to travel all the waterways of the connected British system. Emrhys Barrell is currently the Editor of Canal Boat & Inland Waterways.
