I’ll also share my posts online via social media at and maybe some of those people will enjoy keeping up. It could also be nice to receive comments/tips/ideas from other people online that have experience here, I know there are many online communities of boat people, but not connected to them at the moment. Quite a few people ask me about it when I see them, but not sure if they will read this. I’m not sure yet! It’s nice to imagine the audience when writing, but I don’t have a clear idea there. Through many conversations I’ve understood more deeply now what is required of me, so out comes the masking tape making pretend “bathrooms” on the floor, so see if there is enough space in a given size… more on the layout topic to come in later posts. Window positions, shapes, and sizes, will obviously determine the possibilities for room layouts.Įverything will have an impact on how to arrange the ballast (heavy stuff needed to weight the boat down to sit right in the water). Gas piping would also benefit from straight runs, so having gas appliances on the same side as the canisters would be preferable. Gas canisters need to have gas lockers built into the shell that comply with regulations. So, knowing which sort of energy/heating/cooking systems I would like will change aspects of the layout. It’s not like building up a campervan where you can select from a number of base models. There are many implications for the build that I need to understand up front, or at least can greatly benefit from some up front thinking. I thought it makes more sense to inhabit the space and feel the possibilities. My initial thought was I’ll just get an empty boat, stand in it, then start thinking how I’d like the space to be. I can fix my own bike at least □ My naïveté I am a computer programmer and never owned or maintained my own living spaces, so quite a lot to learn. That means it’ll be on me to arrange having floors, walls, ceiling, electrics, solar, gas, heating, furniture, kitchen… lights… a lot of stuff. Not sure about the “sailing” bit, “driveaway”? I’ve gone for a “sailaway”, which means it’ll have the shell, some insulation, a “subfloor” (which whatever flooring I come up with will go on top of), windows, engine, paint… but nothing else. So, expecting it to be in the water in October. The build slot is booked in for August, to take around 8 weeks. Their YouTube channel Foxes Afloat now has more than 130,000 subscribers, making them celebrities in the canal. I frame it as consent as I love this topic and like to see if I can fit the concept of consent into all areas of life Colin and Shaun Dobson-Fox sold their house two years ago to move onto a narrowboat. consent – this is the bit where I work out if it’s what I really want to do, or is just the least-bad option, or what someone else thinks I should do, so like a self-consent if that makes sense.financial needs – as much as I’d like to money to go away and to live in a flowing gift economy, that’s not gunna get me a boat, so I need to get realistic here. I need to understand the needs these materials and systems have so I can ensure I end up with something that makes sense… material needs – there are lots of materials and systems involved in a canal boat, the steel hull, lots of wood, water everywhere, gas, electric, solar, heating, fire… etc.human needs – what sort of life am I intending to live that will need to be supported by the boat.Unfortunately, any orders from outside these regions will be cancelled and refunded. To make tricky decisions I always like to find or create a framework which can help me structure my thoughts, and highlight topics that are not being given sufficient attention.įor this case I came up with this framework of 4 aspects: Due to international restrictions on food imports, currently, this item can only be delivered to addresses in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
