Can you prove you own your boat? If you leave it with a broker for a few months who has no proper paperwork the administrators will ask you to prove it.
-
For sure if there is no contract of sale proving ownership the buyer has no chance of getting the boat if the broker goes bust even if they have paid for it. Administrators want proof of ownership otherwise any property in the yard is regarded as assets of the broker.
-
There should be a contract of sale signed by both buyer and seller with transfer of ownership clearly defined. The broker should organise this.
-
Not just agree but have it in writing. Either in terms and conditions or better a signed document. English law is very vague on transfer of ownership and if the broker goes bust you will have to prove ownership.

I would be tempted to leave a couple of large buoys (e.g. oil barrels or Asda trolleys?) chained and padlocked to the piling when away from the mooring.

If your parents have just sold their house it is difficult to see how they would qualify for universal credit or would need to go to food banks. Something fishy here.

Narrowed it down further. It is only slow when using Chrome desktop site setting which I like as it is a reasonable size tablet and I can see the recent posts. Canalworld works OK on mobile setting. Have cleared cache and cookies - no change. Strange - looks like a Chrome issue but doesn't affect any other sites that I use. Maybe a lot of data on the site. Solution for now is to use Firefox for Canalworld. -
Narrowed it down to the Chrome browser on my tablet even though Chrome on my laptop works fine. Using Firefox browser on my tablet Canal World site works fine. Any suggestions for a setting change in Chrome that might make Canal World work would be appreciated. Actually this all started when Mr Woo opened a Chinese restaurant up in the village.

Canalworld. works perfectly on my iphone and windows laptop. However pages load really slowly on my Huawei Android tablet. Are the Chinese spying on me? Tried reboots and clearing all history and cookies. Only started doing this a few week ago. All other sites work OK. Any ideas?

Problem in English law is proving ownership as this will transfer on delivery in common law. Unless there is a contract which states that ownership of the boat and work on the part built boat is transferred against each of the stage payments then you are in trouble if the business goes into administration.

Midi Link Fuses Versus Mega Link Fuses
PaulD replied to alan_fincher's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
I used "forklift" fuses for main fuses. Lots of fuse holders àvailable at reasonable cost or you can bolt them onto busbars with 6mm bolts. Smallest I used was 63A but there is a huge range on the market. Much cheaper than Midi and Mega stuff. -
I never tie up tight in case water level changes. Boat that is not trousers. Interesting night in Norwich a few years ago so lesson learnt. Never happens on the canal ???

Central heating pump tripping rcd any ideas?
PaulD replied to DanMax&Belle's topic in Boat Equipment
What 240v equipment is installed on the boat e.g. consumer unit, isolator switch ? There must be an earth leakage somewhere. -

Bill of purchase and CRT transfer of ownership form - both necessary?

canal plan.org.uk Not much info but may be useful. -
Bill of purchase and CRT transfer of ownership form - both necessary?
PaulD replied to leafofgrass's topic in New to Boating?
Might be worth finding the previous owner. Also there should be a history of registration with CRT, boat safety certificates etc. Boat name and CRT registration number can be checked on line. -
I read that Dyson and some of the electric car makers are working on a new solid state battery concept which is based on lithium ion technology but with a solid electrolyte. Google solid state batteries for lots of interesting articles. But how will I explain why I need to go to the boat again to check the batteries.
-
Flow can be limited by resistance in the pipes / shower or limited capacity of the pump. Needs a bit more thought before choosing a new pump.

My hatch runs on plastic strips and I had the same problem of water running down them and some of it ending up on the rear steps. I also cut grooves so that the water runs off before the hatch which has worked well. Big question is why the problem suddenly started after 10 years. Could it be global warming or the new moorings?
-
Yes but it looks good ply. And the magnets.
-
Half a sheet of 19mm veneered ply?
-
Front steps? Step for side hatch on a hinge? https://hideawaysolutions.com/ Only available in USA. No connection just looks a useful idea.

Everyone is being very kind and helpful. If you know nothing about boats, live hours away from your proposed business and prefer the lazy option there might be other opportunities for you.

Round ones squeek too. Rope ones are best.
