Living afloat – the answers

LIVING AFLOAT: One of the most frequently asked questions of boatyards, brokers, boatbuilders and even marine journalists - especially on inland waterways – is: ‘Can I live on a boat?’, writes Harry Arnold.

Well all the answers are in the latest revised edition of Living Afloat, the standard work on the subject drawn from the experiences of members of the Residential Boat Owners Association (RBOA).

The 96 pages are packed with well-illustrated information from the very basic, such as choice of types of boats, to more esoteric problems like how your cat might adapt to a floating environment. Not only inland waterways but estuary and coastal living are covered and there are a number of first-hand accounts and examples from RBOA live-aboards.

Legal and licensing advice is given and useful contacts and addresses listed; even for drawing your pension and social security benefits.

Living Afloat, edited by Valerie Lee and Beryl McDowall, retails at £8.00 and more information and details of trade terms can be obtained from Beryl McDowall, RBOA Chairman, Tel: 07710 029247, e-mail: chairman@rboa.org.uk
