Thank you all who posted helpful advice on this thread i went for the EA rod licence as it seems there is lots of water fishing that dose not nead anything more than that and can buy day permit's for arias that need them and will be getting the CRT wanderers licence as well.
I do wonder if folks stopped asking questions on this forum and just researched everything their would be no need for the forum their are sum who have had more input negative input and spent more time doing that than actually answering the question.
So in answer to the question this forum will just fade away what is a forum for to ask questions as usually helpful answers come back it seem that most thread's get bogged down with snide comments and remarks on this one if i have a question to ask in future no mater what it is i will research it or get my information from other sources
like i have commented thanks for the advice if the admin can delete my account and my information that would be very much appreciated
i have aided all emales from this forum to my spam on email account

I said understand after your little tissy tantrum, good to see your spelling has improved also. Well now you might post in the relevant section as obviously not “New to Boating” Bill
Only new to canal boats and smelly canals and it actually rude to comment on folks difficulty with spelling but i will forgive you as you cant help being a spelling pedantic it is a diagnosed condition just like dyslexia so your forgiven

Any chance of a moderator moving this to the boat building and maintenance section, as I think it could be a long one and that’s where it’s suited. Thanks
I will just stop posting on it or they can always delete it or lock the thread

https://shop.canalrivertrust.org.uk/ Canal & River Trust Key £7
or
https://www.midlandchandlers.co.uk/products/bwb-sanitary-keys-ag-023 £5.90
DO NOT buy from eBay, i bought one in the past and so far it has worked in one out of about ten locks tried, the key is just too thick for most of the CRT locks.
I ended up buying two or three direct from CRT so i know they'll work and the cash has gone direct to where it matters*
*board meeting biscuits and director's new car
getting them from the CRT that's what i will do thanks then it's going to them and can go back in to the system

What boat parts are you needing ?
I notice one thing not on your list, but a good idea is to check windows, deck fittings etc etc are all good and sealed. reseal if unsure as once fitted out it may not be possible.

will have a look there's one window that need's a leek fixed

putting a boat up on chock can it be done wrong
in General Boating
Posted
ok i have had my boat put on hard standing i went today to take sum of the stuff out of her i notest a bulge in the deck between the v birth the is only two chock one under the stern and one under the bow on the thinnest part of the keel nothing mid ships should a boat not be supported mid sips as well.
I think that the boat yard has not supported my boat correctly this may have damaged my boat's hull it has developed leeks and rain water has soaked the furnishings the was no leeks before it went on hard standing except from the wheel house door.
should a 25ft be supported on the keel in more than two pleases or at leas on the deepest part of the keel any advice appreciated
