Hi Arthur, I have just seen your reply - we must have been writing at the same time! Would you clarify what 'CaRT' is? Thanks, Stephen

Thanks all for your replies. I realise I should have been a bit clearer in describing what I was looking at buying - I wasn't looking at buying a Narrowboat (too limiting in many ways) but rather some form of cruiser, preferably with fore & aft cabins, around 35' long. I would choose something able to cross the channel safely and be able to cruise in the Med. I accept that will limit me to some degree in the UK but I suspect there are enough waterways in the UK for me to not miss the bits I can't travel. Stephen

Hi to those reading this, I am new to this Forum. I am an Australian looking at buying a boat to travel the canals of Europe but am not sure whether, being a non-EU person, that is possible (I enter both western Europe and the UK on a visitor visa). Are there any non-EU people out there (or anyone who has current info), who have bought a boat in the last couple of years who can advise on this? I'm concerned I may not be able to transfer registration or get insurance. Thanks, Stephen
