Boat Building

Having a narrowboat built to your own design or specifications is probably the third most stressful thing you can do in life! We had our narrowboat built at Stilton, Near Peterborough - so know that is true! Moving house is no 2. And we know about that also being career ex-forces! We are told divorce is no 1, but having just had our 36th wedding anniversary we haven't experienced that!

In Boat Building we will be covering (in no particular order):

    • Finance:

      • marine mortgage or loan, who, where and how.

    • Engines, how big and why?

    • Propellers / Screws Hulls;

    • Boat building specifications - conformity to regulations,

    • Hull Identification Number (HIN)

    • Boat builders, your recommendations.

    • Planning,

    • What you would like and what you can get in - even the jacuzzi?

    • Layout, where will it fit!

    • Furniture, Carpets, curtains, blinds, Insulation & Ventilation;

    • Spray foam, Rock wool, other?

    • Solar extractors.

    • Heating:

      • space, solid fuel, coal, multi fuel, central heating, gas, diesel (fuel oil) what the science is!

    • Bathroom Equipment:

      • baths, showers, sinks, wall and floor coverings.

      • toilets, vacuum pump, holding tanks, cassette, bucket & chuck it!

    • Bedrooms:

      • Fixed doubles, put you ups, bunks, mattresses - descriptions and what they mean - foam, sprung.

    • Water:
