    3rd party cover is all that is required by C&RT

    The terms do not say that.

    Much use of the word 'may'. I would hope insurers would not divulge data without prior consent.

    Everyone has to provide those insurance details. Whether C&RT run any checks is up to them. I doubt very much whether C&RT have authority to obtain data direct from insurers . However C&RT could contact you and ask for a copy of the insurance certificate if you are selected for a random spot check. In due course it may become necessary to upload the insurance certificate to the C&RT portal.

    Simple matter of supply and demand. There are quite a few spare spaces where I keep my boat and have been for some time. We go out of the marina and meet mostly the same regular enthusiasts while the majority don't seem to move. The river is not nearly as busy as it used to be which can be nice but really its would be better if it was busy with boats. Many economic factors at play here but I think owning a boat as recreational activity may well decline as people simply cant afford the expense or they choose other activities which offer better value.

    The holder might have to moor in another space or the visitor is moved to another spot. I use the same mooring spot always but in theory I rent a mooring which could be anywhere in the marina. In practice not an issue.We are not moved around. I did receive a phone call once from the marina to see whether we were going to be away a while. But since we were returning the next day the marina put the visitor elsewhere.

    Would that be fraud ? It might carry a risk of not ending well. As you say its not worth the bother unless over selling which was the point I was trying to make. I honestly didn't consider you would have thought there was any sense in it unless selling the same deal to multiple people. Most marinas take visitors and use spaces that are empty because the bertholder is out on a cruise. The visitor pays . So the marina gets paid twice from the same mooring . That's not fraud. Gyms sell memberships to many more people than they can accommodate at one time . That's not fraud .

    Its called over selling. The agreement would have to be on the basis as everyone else in that a mooring would be made available all year round. The plan would fail from the mooring owners perspective if more boats turned up compared to available spaces. But perhaps that could be managed by not selling excessive numbers of mooring agreements compared to available space. The people who do use their moorings regularly and paying a higher rate might be upset if they discover what is occurring (as they surely would). But good luck with your plan.

    With the added complication of the license fee calculation for home mooring or no home mooring C&RT have potentially taken on a significant administrative burden. Whether C&RT are willing to provide personnel to properly police the new scheme remains to be seen. At present C&RT accept insurance is in place on an honesty basis. C&RT also accept off water declarations on an honesty basis . I expect the same will apply to home mooring declarations. All subject to random checks . So it would be wise to keep receipts for mooring fees in case of need.

    Security reasons. Also have reduced level of detail on profile. Can't say I carry passport for a UK coastal trip but we have driving license ID which should e sufficient. Could easily prove where we have travelled from if stopped off the UK coast and have UK VAT paid documents. The brexit date is relevant only if wanting to import a boat due to the time now elapsed since Brexit. Your earlier post indicated that VAT would have to be paid without a certificate which is not correct.

    So have you used the certificate to avoid paying VAT?

    A scare mongering story that came to nothing. You ''may'' need to. Previously C&RT have accept the information supplied and reserve the right to carry out random checks . Sounds like nothing has changed really.

  16. What distance is required if the gas lockers only have a top opening?
  17. Is it not a 0.5m rule for private boats

    Reminds me of a chap who boasted in the pub about successfully arranging for his car to be nicked and torched. One of his drinking pals reported him .

    Diesel

    Retailers such as marinas who are selling for boat use will be providing red diesel. You can carry a spare can on the boat if you wish. I don't see why a retailer would object to filling a can. A local farmer was filling a 20L tub at a marina when we were there for fuel last year.
  22. Although not so bad as pictured I have washed a blind. The method much as already suggested worked well = a soak with laundry liquid and warm water. Gentle soft brushing while in the water may help. My blind did emerge a lighter shade of colour , but clean. I think it was biological laundry liquid.
  23. In this case the OP seems sure the stove is the source but all other possibilities should of course be considered.
  24. That what I do Full power or nothing. It seems to work well.
