Welcome to Canal Pages
Welcome to the fourth annual print edition of Canal Pages, the independent directory of inland waterways businesses, run by boaters for boaters and the inland waterways community. Available both in print and online, Canal Pages is a no-nonsense resource, designed for ease in finding the information you need about any of the 1200+ waterways businesses, services, products and professionals that we currently feature. This year we have published a special Eco Edition, produced in a new and more environmentally friendly format, including compostable paper and plantbased inks; we are also 100% recyclable and with FSC and PEFC certification, which prove the sustainability of the paper we use. We’ve even ensured the boxes we use for delivering
copies are sealed using biodegradable packing tape. You will also find a number of brief guides to being a more environmentally conscious boater throughout this year’s edition - look our for our Eco logo. Whatever you need, you’re sure to find it (and much more besides) within these pages. And please remember to keep this directory to hand over the coming year, to help with the many boating tasks, projects and, hopefully, adventures that the coming months are set to bring you.
COVID-19 Please be mindful that, due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, businesses may be operating differently to normal. We strongly advise that you contact a business before visiting their premises, and please always follow any safety measures they have in place. Thank you for supporting waterways businesses.
Stay safe and happy boating!

Mothership Marine’s solar electric boat ‘Shine’
Is it time to go electric? As with other vehicles, electric motors for narrowboats are becoming increasingly common, with both hybrid and fully electric propulsion now to be found on the cut. Electric propulsion is vastly more environmentally friendly when compared to ‘dirty diesel’ (particularly when mixed with solar), not to mention wonderfully quiet. And while few boatbuilders are yet to offer electric as a standard option on a new-build boat, as we push towards the gradual phasing out of diesel power around the globe, necessity will dictate a steady rise in the use of such motors over the coming years. (Search ‘Clean Maritime Plan’ for more on the UK’s targets for this.)
Consider the case of cars - those that are fully electric are often only practical when used in urban areas where charging facilities are more readily available. Electric motors require a lot of new infrastructure to operate efficiently; and while boats are no strangers to ‘shore power’, they present their own unique needs, not least the ability to retain the element of freedom that is such a part of canal life. Hybrid power is an obvious solution, where an electric motor works in conjunction with a petrol or diesel motor or generator. Of course, the ultimate long term goal - once the infrastructure is in place - is 100% electric propulsion, to further reduce emissions. Businesses leading the way in electric propulsion include Mothership Marine (mothershipmarine.com), who offer a range of solar electric and hybrid boats designed for inland waterways, and Castle Narrowboats (castlenarrowboats.co.uk), who run the only electricnarrowboat hire company in the UK. Meanwhile, the Electric Boat Association (electricboatassociation.org) offer support and advice for owners of electric boats. And so we watch with interest as the technology evolves ever further. Hopefully, the boating world will continue to embrace it, until - one day - it becomes the norm for us all, offering enjoyment of the cut at its peaceful best.

HOW GREEN IS YOUR
NARROWBOAT? ENGINE
CLEANING
Use eco-friendly alternatives in the galley and bathroom. Avoid products containing chlorine, bleach and phosphates – they can be harmful to aquatic life.
Ensure your engine is maintained and serviced regularly to avoid unwanted leaks. Extract oil from your bilge before pumping out - Install an inline bilge filter or tray.
DECK
Secure loose items such as bottles and cans to prevent them falling or blowing overboard.
BOAT WASH
MOORING
Choose your site carefully, try to avoid areas where animals and birds may be resting, feeding, breeding or with young. Use designated tow-path bollards and rings.
Good use of the throttle and keeping a safe, reasonable distance from the banks will help to avoid unnecessary movement of water that can erode banks and disturb wildlife.
IS PNE CVA S I V E IES REMOVAL Aquatic invasive plant and animal species can cause damage to your boat and equipment, restrict navigation along waterways and harm our local environment. To help ensure we do not introduce or spread them around our UK waters follow these steps:
Keep
ropes, fenders & other equipment out of the water where possible to prevent invasive species attaching to them.
Dry Check
for any visible biofouling on your boat & equipment before leaving a mooring, remove & dispose of in a bin.
Clean
your boat, bilge & equipment etc. as often as you can with fresh water to remove biofouling.
all boating equipment & clothing for as long as possible. Species can survive several weeks in damp conditions.

A risky business Insurance advice and reflections from Craftinsure www.craftinsure.com
While the origins of marine insurance can be traced back to Roman times (and possibly even earlier), many of the risks haven’t changed - adverse weather, fire, theft and even piracy still exist! But some problems evident from claims we dealt with last year are perhaps more current and likely to remain a challenge in 2020 and beyond. Gales and floods during the past year resulted in an almost unprecedented number of weather-related claims, despite desperate attempts by owners in many cases to prevent damage. Checking and adjusting mooring lines regularly during flood periods and ensuring leaves and other debris do not block drainage channels are two of the most important actions that can be taken to prevent incidents. Damage to underwater gear is another increasing challenge, where debris in the water has contributed to an increase in claims. Items tangled in props last year included old tyres, as well as a large London Pride pub umbrella! Caution and low speed, especially on waterways where problems might be expected, will help reduce the extent of such damage, if not eliminate the problem. Plastic bags and other items being sucked into water intakes can also cause considerable damage, particularly if blockages aren’t quickly spotted. Keep a careful eye on temperature gauges and cooling water outlets.
, Scotland
Internal flooding can also occur from something as simple as the failure of a corroded jubilee clip. Check the condition of hoses and connections, replacing any suspect hoses. Make sure they are tight, and double up clips.
Eric Wardlaw 5 Newton Gate, Nairn, Inverness-shire, Highland IV12 4TS O 01667 456 078
You can keep informed of risks and hazards that may affect you by downloading the free Craftinsure App, which you can find at www. craftinsure.com. On a lighter note, perhaps the most unusual statement on a claim we received last year read as follows: “Fixated by a wasp. Took my eyes off direction of travel and collided with a tree”. Do you think that also happened back in the Roman era?

Going ‘au naturel’ on board With grey water from sinks and showers being flushed directly into the canal, it’s essential to use eco-friendly cleaning and personal products to avoid discharging toxic or harmful liquids into the cut.
Where do I start? Many bigger supermarkets offer little in the way of choice when it comes to eco household products, and you’ll be hard pushed to find much more than a few products from Ecover and Method (which, since both were bought out by SC Johnson recently, are being boycotted by many green organisations due to their links to animal testing). Others like Waitrose and Aldi offer fantastic own-brand eco ranges, but you may struggle to find these in every branch. Instead, you may like to plan ahead and buy online where you will find a huge range of brands offering everything you need, and often also available in bulk and refills, to reduce plastic waste.
What kind of products are available? It is possible to buy ecological versions of almost every household product - you just need to know where to look. Visit www.canalpages.co.uk/eco to browse the biggest range of eco products we have found online; you will also find advice and guides to shopping ethically. Products include: hand wash, laundry liquid and balls, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaners, shower and bathroom cleaner, disinfectant, limescale remover, floor cleaner, and toilet cleaner.
Should I throw out non-eco products? If you already have non-eco products, we don’t recommend you throw these away as that would be wasteful, but simply swap them for ecological products and move your non-eco ones to your bricksand-mortar home, or, if you are a full-time liveaboard, pass them onto someone who lives in a house.

Beat the bug Delving inside a fuel tank is not a pleasant task, and certainly not something most of us would want to be doing on a regular basis. However, blocked filters, reduced engine efficiency, smokey or rough running and refusal to start are all possible symptoms of diesel bug, and in the fuel tank and fuel lines is where it lurks. Bruce Hewitt from Tankbusters answers a few simple questions about diesel bug, and how to deal with it when it strikes.
What is diesel bug? Diesel bug is an umbrella term for the micro-organisms, such as bacteria, moulds and fungi, that live in the small margin of free water in the fuel tank, usually the result of moist air condensing on the top of a partially filled tank. These multiply rapidly – 260,000 times every six hours – and leave a thick, slimy or waxy grey/black deposit when they die. Left untreated, the deposit can be drawn into fuel lines where it can solidify and clog fuel pumps, causing fuel starvation or blocked filters. Add to this the other contaminants, such as rust particles and general dirt, that can be lurking within the fuel tank, and the result is increased wear and tear on the engine. Over time this can cause long-term damage to the fuel injectors and pump and contribute to a higher chance of breakdowns. Diesel bug is also becoming more prevalent due to the recent reduction of sulphur in fuel (which inhibits the growth of microbes).
How do I get rid of it from my tank? Getting rid of diesel bug doesn’t mean having to fork out for a new tank or engine, provided your tank/engine is undamaged and complies with boat safety standards. Simply filtering the fuel and treating it with biocide will result in a more efficient, cleaner and more reliable running engine. The fuel is drawn out of the tank and forced through a filtration device that removes water to less than 100 parts per million (dryer than fuel from a refinery) and contaminants around 1 micron in size (a human hair is about 75 microns thick). A biocide is then added to inhibit the growth of harmful diesel bug in the future and break down water every time the tank is refilled. The filtration stage is essential as a biocide alone cannot remove the water, waxy substances and particles in the fuel. A recalculating system means the loss of fuel during this process is extremely low. All types of tanks, including large holding tanks, can be treated without significant losses.
Is it a difficult job? The equipment used is small and portable, meaning it can be easily transported along narrow pontoons and towpaths to reach moored or broken-down craft. Most tanks can be accessed via the fuel filler or the breather, so there is no need for floorboards to be lifted or equipment to be trailed through the boat. The equipment runs on 12V or 230V and can typically filter between 10 and 30 litres per minute.

Call-out Service
Broken down again?
Engine failure is often down to issues with fuel, and without addressing the problem properly, you will keep breaking down. Many boaters complain they have had their tank cleaned - or ‘polished’ - but the problem reoccurs. In short - a cowboy job!
We travel to your location, investigate the problem, show the boat owner what’s in the bottom of their tank, and then we clean the tank. We are proud of the level of service we offer, and will prove from start to finish how the tank is cleaned and filtered to 1 micron, removing contamination and water to 100 parts per million. Contact us today.
Tankbusters offer a comprehensive and unparallelled diesel cleaning service, with both a call-out service and supply of high quality equipment for self-filtration for boaters, boatyards and engineers.

The end of woodburners? Are woodburning stoves being banned? As much of the world looks to reducing carbon emissions in an attempt to tackle climate change, there has been much discussion about the role woodburning stoves play in this, and whether these stoves may be banned altogether. As the main source of heating on many boats, this sounds alarming; but, in actual fact, at this point the government has no plans to ban the sale of wood or coal-burning stoves. Rather, restrictions are being placed on types of fuel available, with ‘polluting fuels’ set to be phased out (in England only at this stage). As part of the Carbon Cycle, suitable wood only emits as much carbon to the atmosphere as the tree took in when growing, so it is actually considered a carbon neutral fuel. So, while this is, of course, a developing issue, for now woodburners (when when used correctly) correctly aren’t going anywhere.
What types of fuel are being banned? Sales of two of the most polluting fuels, ‘wet wood’ and house coal, will be phased out from 2021 to 2023. Boaters who burn wood (and particularly those who forage wood) should pay special attention to the moisture content of any wood to be burned, ensuring that it is ‘dry’ before use. Foraged, green or freshly felled logs are not suitable for burning until they have been dried to 20% moisture content or less.
Visit www.canalpages.co.uk/woodfuel for a full explanation of the science around the burning of wood fuel from Soliftec.

Stay safe Having safely installed systems on your boat is only part of the safety story. Two-thirds of fire and carbon monoxide risks arise from the way that engines, appliances, systems and fuels are used and maintained. Together with partners including Fire Kills, CoGDEM, the Health Protection Agency, the Solid Fuel Association, Soliftec and the Electrical Safety First, and a lot of help from the marine trade and boat-user organisations, the Boat Safety Scheme have collected a lot of useful advice and information to help you to go boating and stay safe.

How does using LED lighting help the environment? LED lighting outperforms halogen and fluorescent lighting across the board, giving equivalent or better light output while using only a fraction of the power - thanks to extremely low current draw. Hence, it also saves you money. The energy efficiency of LEDs, however, has wider implications, which is why it is considered to be one of the ‘greenest’ sources of lighting. LED light bulbs can last up to twenty times longer than other traditional forms of lighting. This has a hugely positive effect on the environment, as fewer bulbs need to be produced. Less is more when it comes to helping the environment – reduce, reuse, recycle is a good mantra to use on board - so the fact that fewer lights are needed means that fewer resources will be required for manufacturing, packaging and transportation. LED lights also convert a massive 95% of their energy into light, with only 5% being wasted as heat. Compare this to fluorescent lights, for example, which were common on boats in the past, and which convert around 95% of the energy they produce into heat - and only 5% into light!

Living afloat… the greener option? While it’s difficult to generalise, narrow boat living has the potential to be far less environmentally impactful than a traditional bricks-and-mortar house. However, there are also a range of environmental impacts to consider that you might not have to think about with a house. Grey water discharge This is water from the sinks and showers that goes straight into the waterways, so it’s essential to use eco-friendly cleaning and personal products to avoid discharging any harmful liquids and chemicals into the water. Sewage Toilets need to be emptied regularly and toilet waste must never be discharged overboard. There are different types of toilet you can install that have greater or lesser environmental impacts (see page 95). On-board waste Have a separate recycling and general waste bin, recycle as much as possible at the points provided along the waterways, and buy stuff with less or no packaging. Compost as much as you can, if it’s an option. Maintenance When carrying out maintenance, use only eco-friendly products and fresh water, and take care that no debris (like paint flecks) enters the water. Insulation This is very important for fuel efficiency on board. Wool is a good natural material to use if possible, and double glazing is also very important; bear in mind that small portholes will keep in more heat than large windows. Reduce your water use Get used to saving water as you have to survive only on what’s in your tank at any given time. If you have a washing machine on board, remember these are heavy on water and power so avoid anything bigger than you need and always go for the most energy-efficient model you can afford. Foraging Being on the waterways affords good opportunities to forage for wood and wild food; you can even grow some of your own produce on the roof of your boat. Fuel and power Equip and maintain your boat correctly to avoid fuel leaks, and take care to avoid spills when refuelling. Try to cook or cool food and drink in more energyefficient ways (e.g. using your woodburner for cooking as well as heating). Install low-energy lighting and a more efficient engine to reduce your energy use. Wildlife Be respectful of wildlife. Avoid going too fast when cruising as this creates wash that can disturb animals, not to mention eroding the bank. Never cruise too close to, or corner or pursue, animals or birds. Always keep dogs under control. The Green Blue supports sustainable development within the recreational boating sector.

Watch your wash! Bankside habitats support a rich variety of wildlife and even minor damage can be a problem for sensitive habitats.
Your wash can erode banks, as well as disturbing moored boats and even loosening their moorings. Here’s how you can help stop this:
, South East
• Slow down if there are waves at the bow or stern of your boat. You are probably using unnecessary fuel, with no increase in actual speed.
Boat Surveyor Ltd. 4 Brook Cottages, Mill Lane, Westbourne, Hampshire PO10 8RT O 07798 554 535 w boatsurveyor.net
• Keep to designated speed limits.
CS Marine Consultants Ltd. 26 Oak Lane, Upchurch, Sittingbourne, Kent ME9 7AT O 01622 720 487 w csmarineconsultants.co.uk
• Sensible use of throttle and good boat-handling skills can significantly reduce wash as well as improve fuel efficiency. Take a training course to improve your skills.
72
• To minimise the impact of your wake, keep a safe and reasonable distance between your boat and the bank. • A well-balanced and clean propeller will disturb less sediment and reduce your impact on the underwater environment.
• When mooring up, use recognised and designated mooring places.

Solar Power, Turbines & Generators Solar Power, Turbines & Generators
The power of the sun Running a diesel engine or generator to charge your boat’s batteries is far from being an environmentally responsible way of obtaining energy, and with the UK government’s Clean Maritime Plan looking to phase out diesel engines entirely in an effort to help reduce carbon emissions (and ultimately save the planet!), there’s never been a better time to look to solar power. Offering clean, free, renewable energy, in a way that has become increasingly efficient and affordable in the past few years, solar power is particularly ideal as part of the off-grid system of a canal boat.
Which types of solar panel should I use? There are two main types of solar panel suitable for use on a canal boat – rigid and semi-flexible. Both are popular for different reasons but can be fitted on most boats. The most commonly used panels for narrowboats, which you will now see on many roofs, are the rigid variety, encased in aluminium frames and protected by toughened glass. They are the least expensive type of panel and are a good choice in most situations; and the ability to tilt these panels up to face the sun directly will increase the power output by up to 50%. The main downside to rigid panels is that they have a somewhat industrial and cumbersome appearance. This is where semi-flexible solar panels come into their own; they are discreet - being glued directly to the roof, they are largely out of sight - and they won’t get in the way of mooring lines. Finally, whichever type you choose, make sure it has monocrystalline solar cells, as these provide the highest output for the size of panel.
What size of solar panel should I use? If you merely want to trickle charge a single battery, use a solar panel of 50 watts or more, which will provide a good maintenance charge and will keep your battery in sound order. During the summer months in the UK, 100 watts and upwards will provide a lot of extra power for on-board lighting and appliances, and significantly reduce the need for charging batteries from running your engine or through a mains connection – in fact, the only limit you’ll really have is the space available on your roof! All types of solar panel can be used singly or connected together to form a more powerful solar panel system, and the technology (and price) is improving all the time.
What about wind power? Somewhat overshadowed by their sunnier cousin, power generated via a wind turbine is also a great, sustainable and free source of energy, with wind turbines available from around £300. With wind being less predictable and the energy generated from turbines much less than that of solar panels (due to their small size), turbines are more suited to ‘trickle charging’ - keeping batteries topped up - as opposed to generating the amount of power needed for daily life on board.

Toilet talk Life on board is ‘low impact’ in various ways, and in the case of toilets, when comparing the water use of a boat toilet against the flush of a domestic toilet, this is certainly true. However, in obvious contradiction to this ‘eco’ claim are the strong chemicals used in toilet cassettes and holding tanks; by default, most boats are fitted with either a pump-out toilet or a cassette toilet, both of which rely on added chemicals to ensure that solid matter is broken down and can be more easily disposed of. While there are ‘green’ alternatives, many toilet additives still contain some pretty toxic chemicals. Many people dislike the process of using and emptying these toilets - and also, increasingly, the environmental issues associated with them. So, what is the alternative? Compost toilets had long been considered little more than buckets with seats, but they have evolved to become sophisticated on-board equipment. They work
by separating the liquids from the solids at point of use through the design of the toilet bowl. Liquid waste is generally sterile as it leaves the body and can be easily disposed of down drains, toilets or elsan points. Solids (along with toilet paper) are held within the toilet, with any odours being extracted by a small, low-power, lowvoltage fan (the power for which could be easily generated via solar power). This ensures that there are no odours in the bathroom. Depending on the number of users, a compost-toilet solids tank can last a number of weeks before it needs to be dealt with; and there are various ways of dealing with the solids, which vary from composting on board or on land (if you have access), to “bagging and binning”. Advantages of a compost toilet are numerous. You don’t have to rely on a marina or elsan point to deal with your waste, nor face the additional costs involved in paying for pump-outs and purchasing toilet chemicals. This not only means your life on board has a far lower environmental impact, but also offers the potential for you to be more independent.
