There are different safety requirements depending on whether you use your boat:
You may need to get insurance before you can register and use your boat. here
You usually need to register your boat to use it on inland waterways, such as rivers and canals. Contact the navigation authority of the waterway you want to use. [links]
You must follow safety regulations and check whether you need insurance if you own a boat. more
You can apply for a boat licence or registration once you’ve met the relevant safety and insurance requirements. here
Pitch, tar and even whale grease were favoured by the likes of Christopher Columbus and Sir Walter Raleigh. The introduction of metal sheathing, first with lead and then copper and zinc, didn’t happen until the 1700s.
Absolutely – from place to place and even year to year, according to the water temperature, its salinity, the level of sunlight, the quantity of nutrients and countless other factors. here
In the early days careening was the preferred method. This involved tipping the ship on its side, lighting small fires under the hull, then scraping off the softened pitch and fouling by hand. [links]
Because any significant growth of fouling has an immediate effect on your boat’s performance and its fuel efficiency. more
On planing powerboats even a light build-up of fouling can knock five knots off your top speed and increase fuel consumption by 30%. Heavier growth may prevent a boat from planing altogether. here
In this feature, we explain everything you’ve ever wanted to know about antifouling, plus some things which you didn’t know you wanted to know: like can you mix your own copper paints? And how did Columbus antifoul his boats?

The BSSC is simply the boating equivalent of a car’s MOT certificate. It’s part of a public safety initiative owned by the Canal and River Trust and the Environment Agency and aims to help minimise the risk of boat fires, explosions and pollution of the waterways. The scheme tests whether or not a boat meets a minimum safety requirement. There are two checking procedures:
· The Boat Safety General Scheme- applies to all privately-owned, privately-managed vessels.
· 2002 BSS Standards in addition to the Boat Safety Scheme is required of commercial, industrial or public use vessels.
Anyone intending to spend long periods on their vessel away from UK waters should strongly consider registering their craft on Part 1 of the Central Register of British Ships. However, in certain situations, registering on just Part 3 will be sufficient. Further details can be found here, Boat Registration in the UK. here
The Broads Authority governs the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads and licenses can be purchased online.
