What should I check when buying a used boat or kayak in Wales?

When buying a used boat or kayak, thoroughly inspect the hull for any cracks, damage, or repairs. Check the condition of the fittings, ropes, and any included equipment like paddles or life jackets. Ensure the engine (if applicable) starts and runs smoothly. It's also wise to check the boat's history for any previous accidents or repairs.

What legal requirements should I be aware of when buying a boat in the UK?

In the UK, boats used on inland waterways may require registration with the relevant navigation authority (e.g., the Canal & River Trust). For larger boats used at sea, registration with the UK Ship Register may be necessary. Check if the boat has the appropriate safety certificates and that the seller has the legal right to sell it.

What safety equipment is recommended for boating in Wales?

Essential safety equipment includes life jackets for all occupants, a first-aid kit, a means of communication (such as a VHF radio or mobile phone in a waterproof case), navigation tools (map and compass or GPS), and appropriate flares. For boats operating at night, navigation lights are also essential.

How can I ensure the boat I'm buying is seaworthy?

A professional survey is highly recommended before purchasing any boat, especially a larger or more expensive one. A surveyor will assess the boat's structural integrity, mechanical systems, and electrical systems, providing you with a detailed report of any issues. This can help you negotiate a fair price or avoid buying a boat with hidden problems.

What should I consider regarding boat storage and transportation in Wales?

Consider where you will store the boat when not in use. Marina berths, dry storage facilities, and trailers for transportation are all options. Factor in the costs of storage and transportation when budgeting for your boat purchase. Also, ensure your vehicle is suitable for towing the boat trailer if required, and that you have the correct driving licence.
