UK canal restrictions

Hello all,

Do you know of any liveaboard sailboats that have a draft of no more than 3 ft and a beam of no more than 6 ft 8 in?
I want to take it through the inland waterways of the UK and then on to the rest of Europe. Those specifics are the size restrictions of the UK canals.

Seems impossible, right? Idk. All your input is greatly appreciated.

Re: UK canal restrictions

The key word here is liveaboard. There are plenty of boats that fit your beam and draft criteria. Find a nice one and live on it.
