New Narrowboat Owners Guide
Once you’ve secured your boat, you’ll be eager to take to the waterways to discover what it can do, but remember as a new owner, your handling skills will probably need some work. Narrowboat handling is very different to driving or steering a pleasure craft or a pleasure boat. Some may compare it to steering an articulated lorry and indeed, the longer the boat you go for, the greater the challenge you might face when learning to handle your narrowboat.
Our advice is to take your time, be patient with yourself and don’t rush into things. Stick to easy to navigate canals and always be safe when handling your narrowboat. Before you commit, have you considered taking a narrowboat handling course?
You can find out more on the River & Canal Trust website!
Just as crucial as handling - you’ve got to consider maintenance and always have a back up plan in place should things go wrong. This could mean keeping a few spare batteries to hand and ensuring that your engines are checked over and serviced at regular intervals. Don’t neglect the outer body of your boat and remember to keep the inside in top condition too, much like your home, it’s important to keep everything in tip top working condition.
