Forum members have been more than helpful, thanks for all your responses. Obviously there is a little leeway in the installation options in order to meet the requirements. I will study the relevant docs and make a decision, I certainly would prefer the cheaper option. Many thanks.

Thanks for your replies, the information was sourced from the Boat Safety Scheme web site which directs you to the following link, http://www.soliftec.com/installation.htm I haven't decided on any system as yet but I do have a Morso stove ready to go. I am merely asking the question of those that will have much more experience than myself. I take the points fully regarding single skinned installations and actually have one installed on a sea boat that we are selling, but when we install the Squirrel I want to make sure that I tick all the boxes just in case.

I agree with everything that you state, however the new build regs for the safety certificate expect twin wall insulated with no joint in the roof void, so I am assuming that I would need to follow these instructions to achieve a safety cert, as I said earlier rules is rules!

That's great, thanks for the info ...... sorted

Thanks for your comments, I believe that a new build installation requires a double skinned flu to be installed without a flu joint in the roof space, I think you are right regarding the heat radiated from a single wall flu but rules is rules if you want a safety cert. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of installation under the new rules using a double skinned flu through the roof?

Can anyone advise, I am busy sourcing the parts to instal a 6" twin wall flu onto a Morso Squirrel stove, the twin wall flu is 200mm external diameter has anyone any experience in sourcing a roof collar to accommodate the 200mm external diameter flu pipe? I have seen a twin wall kit but the roof collar seemed flimsey and I was hoping to find something quite chunky can anyone help. In advance many thanks!

This information is fantastic, many thanks to all who replied.

I am waiting for the delivery of the stove, just thinking ahead, I will check legs when they arrive but the bracket idea sounds good to me and passed BSS. Many thanks

Could anyone help, I have a Morso Squirrel stove that's going to be installed but I need to be able to secure it to the hearth. Has anyone any ideas about this? My first thoughts were to get four lugs welded to the base of the legs and screw through ......... any thoughts. If this seems a possibility can anyone suggest a welder who could do this. Any advice would be welcome.

This thread has been so useful, fantastic info. Thanks very much to all

Thanks once again some great advice that I am sure is hard won, I will keep you posted with my progress.

A big thank you to all for taking the time to render advice, some fantastic thoughts and info which I really appreciate and will definitely take on board, I will no doubt be asking more questions in the near future. Thanks to all

Fantastic advice, best to hear as many as many views as possible, some of these given me food for thought, keep them coming!

1st time poster and in need of advice, we have been looking at the various second hand narrow boats advertised for sale and although there are some real beauties on the market we can't quite see the right boat. I am now thinking of the possibilities of getting a sailaway built, fitting out over a few years exactly as we would like. We would be looking at a 50' trad style and would like to get the boat completed in the next 4-5 years, just in time for retirement. We have experience of sea going yachts have owned a 32' sea going vessel for several years. Could anyone give advice at the start of this venture, any experiences of boat builders? Any advice on fitting out? Any advice at all? In advance many thanks.
