I was reading about the phasing out of petrol cars and it got me thinking re Boating options. Solar has developed a lot I know but are hydro generators an option at all? Does anyone use them? Must be some way to use the friction a boat creates. Or perhaps a stupid question...

I’m not sure how I’m going to get all of this in... I’ll start with the wine... am sure I can get the piano on the roof.

Perfect!

After finally taking the plunge to buy a boat am intrigued about what are the most useful items or gadgets you can’t do without. Battery monitoring, condensation control, solar lamp, chocolate...?

Yes. Aqua are more. Assume as uk made which I’d prefer to support if poss but depends on timing/amount of differential I can’t get to anyone there at moment. Will try Noel...

I tried Maidenhead as closest but will do contact Noel

Thank you! Thank you that is hugely helpful. I am trying to get an appointment with them so will def dm you before we go. It’s easy to think we know what we want after all these years but am sure yawning pitfalls waiting for me to step blithely into...

Yes that’s true. Thought 60 was ok compromise apart from a few unreachable stretches. And no... kidneys not on my list either! Sorry am new here haven’t worked out how to reply individually!

Aqualine do seem to build a high number of boats

Thanks, looking for a 60 foot narrowboat. And yes Aqua at Foston. Looked at Bickerstaff too but they only do 57.

So we’re finally taking the plunge after years of renting. Planning to keep a boat for quite a while so thinking new even though a bit pricey. I know there are a lot of forums on this but currently looking at Aqua and Aqualine. Does anyone have any views or thoughts as am not an expert by any means...
