Canal Boatkeeping

Practical guides for narrowboat owners and anyone thinking about life on the canals. This collection covers buying, maintaining and living aboard a canal boat, with titles on diesel engines, electrics, inland waterways regulations and the day-to-day realities of boatkeeping.

The Narrowboat Guide and The Liveaboard Guide are good starting points. For those already afloat, the diesel and electrical titles cover the systems you will need to look after, and the RYA Inland Waterways Handbook is a useful general reference.
