For the boater with no home mooring.
Continuous cruisers — CCers — don't pay for a permanent berth. The boat moves every fortnight under the rules of the Canal & River Trust's continuous cruising licence. The whole network is the address. The whole network is also the gift.
The boat-name print.
The print runs on the boat's name and the canal you cruise — for a CCer, "the canal" is whichever stretch you spend the most time on, or the network as a whole. We've shipped prints with "the cut, anywhere" and "London & the Grand Union" through the route line. Type whatever the cruising pattern is.
What goes on the route line
For boaters with a permanent mooring, the route line on the print is usually their home canal — the one in front of the boat for most of the year. For continuous cruisers it's open. Some options that work:
- The network as a whole — "the inland waterways" or "the cut, anywhere".
- The favourite stretch — "the South Oxford" or "the Llangollen".
- The current cruising pattern — "London & the Grand Union".
- A specific year — "2024 · Birmingham to the Severn".
- The whole CC ring — "the four counties ring", "the Cheshire ring".
