There are more than 4,000 miles of navigable waterways in Great Britain, with more in Ireland and Europe. This book tells the reader all they need to know about how to get afloat � which boat to choose, whether to hire or buy, how much it will cost, and where they can go. Boat handling and manoeuvring are covered in detail, along with maintenance and repair. And there is a section on trailer boating for those who want to keep their boat at home, advice on living aboard for long periods, night-time navigation and training. This is the only book novices will need.

Review:

"...your perfect introduction to cruising." Boat Mart Magazine (2006) 'It... really makes a good reference book for anybody to have on board their boat.' Boat Mart (April 2007) 'The book boasts that it is 'The complete guide to boating on rivers, lakes and canals'. And it makes good that boast. So if you are thinking of barging or boating on the UK's waterways, I don't believe you'll find a better guide.' Sailing Magazine (March 2007)
