INFORMATION

Know Your Boat
In the interests of everyone’s safety, it is important you spend time checking the location and operation of some of the more important items of equipment you have on board.


Underway
Keep to the right when passing a boat coming from the opposite direction. Both boats should slow right down if the channel is narrow otherwise each will suck the other’s water away and both will go aground. Sometimes passing on the right is impossible, e.g. if a boat is being towed from the towing path. then the correct procedure is to sound two short blasts of your horn as a warning that you intend to pass on the ‘wrong’ (left) side


Speed
4 miles an hour (about a brisk walking pace) is the speed limit on most inland waterways.
