They'll undoubtedly issue a Licence for it, if it ends up on C&RT's canals, . . and be quite happy to pocket the Licence fee. Whether or not, as in the case of the so-called 'Caravan Boat,' it will be subsequently be illegally seized and transported to the furthest away storage facility is entirely another matter, and will depend on how much of a personal dislike the lying turds in the Trust's 'Customer Licence Support' and 'Legal Services' departments have taken to the new owner ! |

I think it looks horrible ..... but then I think a lot of popular things look horrible.
I bet it handles like a pig and the windage will be 'orrible ..... but for anyone who just wants to plonk it on a mooring and live on ..... I suppose it fits the bill.
the construction spec sounds fine and it will be at least as well built if not better than many better looking boats around
I really hate to think that things like that are the future of the waterways though

I just thought it interesting, because a lot of the flack that the caravan boat got seemed to be about the asthetics. Well that and the fact that the owner isn't English. |

As it is propelled by “one or two outboards” and given its design I think it is intended to be moored permanently as a house boat. Where I see CRT getting stressed, is if the owner tries to cc with it to avoid a mooring. |

I think CRT are obliged to issue a "license" whatever the boat if if has bss and insurance.
It could be 25ft x 25ft and 10ft high craned directly into the canal they could not refuse it as far as I know.
Because it takes about 6 months to get a boat removed you could speculatively build shed boats one after the other. just let CRT remove them then put another one in. Someone will do this.

Given that some insurers require 4mm thickness minimum to cover it starting off with 4mm seems idiotic. And one ton slabs for ballast means little chance of moving ballast to compensate for heavy items. surveyors are not interested in the thickness of the hull above the waterline and it is 6mm for 1 metre and it wont draw that much and that should obviously read 1 ton of concrete slabs which let's face it is a fairly standard material for many modern boats |

Do you in fact mean C&RT inflicting the much loved, overused and, in the legal sense, ABused Section 8 process on the owner of this or any similar vessel/floating rubbish skip ? If so, can you explain how or why CC'ing simply in order to - "avoid a mooring" - becomes an act punishable in law ? |

In hindsight ‘Stressed’ was not a good word to use, probably I should have replaced the last sentence with something like - if the boat does not have a home mooring and does not comply with the cc guidance that CRT have issued, such that the board is not satisfied that the boat is being used for bona fide navigation, then enforcement action will start. However as that is a bit long winded I thought ‘stressed’ would be adequate, obviously not, for which I apologise. |
