Setting off on your narrowboat 

Aaran from Union Wharf Marina showing how to set off on a narrowboat. Canals are more shallow at the edges than in the middle, and this can sometimes cause problems when setting off. Ensure your propeller is in deep water by using this method to set off.
This is part of our Designated Skipper course for those hiring day boats from the marina, but is equally relevant to bigger holiday boats, too.
