For Boaters
Look after your waterways
- avoid creating a breaking wash and don't run your propeller while moored
Consider others
- take care to position mooring pins and ropes so they are not a danger to towpath users - if possible, make them conspicuous with a marker or cover
- don't obstruct locks, bridges, water points or turning points
- when passing anglers, unless they politely request otherwise, keep to the centre of the channel, reduce your wash but maintain a steady pace
- slow down when passing moored or unpowered boats
- pay heed to local signs concerning fishing matches
Take care
- you and your crew must understand how to operate your boat and navigate locks, bridges and tunnels
- children and non swimmers should wear a life jacket or buoyancy aid
