However, your intended application needs to be taken into account. For instance, if you want to live on board as a footloose nomad, you need self-sufficiency on your side. That means that, in addition to all the standard liveaboard creature comforts, you’ll want a substantial battery bank, a high-capacity inverter and ideally a diesel generator. You’ll also need a high-capacity calorifier to provide hot water from your engine, plus either diesel heating or wood burning stoves to stay warm and comfy when away from shore power. A large freshwater reservoir and a pump-out toilet with high-volume holding tank will also help minimise the necessity for marina visits - and you might also want to consider solar panels. They’re much lighter, cheaper and more efficient than they used to be and the large flat rooftops of most liveaboard boats tend to lend themselves very nicely to the job.
If you fancy joining the UK’s growing community of liveaboard boaters, it pays to understand the basics of living on a boat.
