| Without meaning to be silly or to belabour the obvious, a boat without access to a permanent mooring has no option but to keep on the move from one temporary mooring to another, so your idea is founded in logical practicality. You might also be unconsciously echoing things you have read or been told about the situation on canals [I see Anne has pre-empted me], where the 1995 legislation governing boats on the former British Waterways canals laid down conditions for issue of the necessary boat licence – licences being necessary by virtue of the 1976 Byelaws, following the abolition of the conferred PRN’s by the Transport Act 1968. By virtue of s.17(3)(c) of the British Waterways Act 1995, boats wanting a licence must either have a home mooring available to them throughout the period of the licence validity, or else move to a different place on the towpath every 14 days at most [or longer as might be reasonable under the circumstances]. |
