Boat Builders experts and enthusiasts.
Your ideal boat building partner – CAD design and state of the art boat building, painting, and furnishing facilities.
When purchasing a boat you have to keep in mind what will ou prefer doing with it. Are you looking to stay moored up all the time in your Marina of choice or would you prefer cruising the canals as much as possible, maybe with a Constant Cruising License?
Whatever the answer, there are plenty of resources to help you out make an informed decision.
These helpful guides will show you incredible places to visit with your canal boat in each area, with tips and advice on fun things to do with the whole family, where to stay and how to get there.
Do you know which canal you want to cruise but are not sure if your canal boat can go through it? Use this simple guide for the Waterways Dimensions by the Canal & River Trust.
Want to order your new boat but not sure about placing the build slot deposit?
As we enter 2019, we face this period of uncertainty which can, in some cases, delay house sales. You may be confident your funds will free up but just not 100% sure it will happen on time. On the other hand, if you don’t make a commitment when you need to, you could find yourself without a boat when the time comes.
Or worse, what if you placed a deposit but your funds encounter a delay, or your house sale falls through? Do you risk losing your deposit? What to do next?
We can help you take the next step with confidence.
Our trusted Finance partners can organise the first stage payment to help you, after placing your initial build slot deposit. Or we will simply postpone your build slot, so you don’t lose the deposit on your boat. We start the build at a later date after the funds are with you.
Either way, you can move forward with confidence and support.
Some people hear the word “finance” and instantly shake their heads. Whether you are worried about finance or have an absolute distrust for finance companies, you still might want to consider the idea of taking a loan to help the purchase of your dream boat.
there are no early payment penalties. As soon as the money come in, pay off the rest of the balance and say goodbye to the monthly mortgage payments and finally start living your new life in complete FREEDOM.

Here at the Nottingham Boat Company we pride ourselves of the investment we made in state of the art design technology, up to the minute manufacturing equipment, and modern management systems. This empowers our staff with the ability to plan and manufacture high-quality boats.
We constantly invest in training, IT, and modern workshop equipment, allowing you to feel more confident while making one of the largest financial purchases of your life.
+ What makes NOTTINGHAM BOAT COMPANY the best suited company to build your boat?
We have over 50 years of experience in building boats AND living aboard. We know what you will need and how to get you there. We will work closely with you to make sure you get exactly what you want, whether you are looking to relocate living aboard or planning new and exciting adventures.
+ Where can you find us?
We are perfectly situated in the centre of UK, at Redhill Marina.
We are situated at the junction of the river Trent with the river Soar. Both leading to navigable canals.
Our position allows for an easy test of your narrow boats, barges or wide beams up to 72ft with a 14ft beam.
Here on site we will be able to lift your boat in and out of the river and onto a truck for transportation. Or better yet, you can sail away directly from the marina.
+ What are the boats choices?
Narrowboats: From 50ft in length and their traditional 6ft10” width, Narrowboats are known for their history as work boats, and their ability to travel almost anywhere in the Inland Waterways.
Wide beams: Doubling the width space of a Narrowboat (12ft) Wide beams tend to be used as liveaboards, giving you as much comfort as a regular flat.
Barges: They have a bulky look and may look even bigger than most Wide Beams, incredibly spacious, they will make you forget about your life-on-land.

You can find all the relative information on the Canal & River Trust website.
+ How do we work on your boat?
With the implementation of CAD (Computer Aided Design), we can offer you schematics of what your boat will look like, allowing you to choose ‘what goes where’.
From the planning stages to completion, so you can follow the progress of your boat every step of the way. All you need is an email address and a PDF reader on your PC/device.
Give you important information regarding position, method of use, and how to gain access to vital boat equipment.
+ How does CAD benefit you?
CAD is a fantastic piece of computer technology when used by an experienced design engineer. As it is used to produce realistic 3D images of the boat or a product, it allows for any changes to be made prior the actual production.
These images will give you a visual feel for the finished boat, boat layout, equipment level, colour, and style before we start manufacturing your boat.
Provide an accurate inventory of equipment and furniture for you to use as reference.
Let you know exactly what you will get, when your boat will be ready, and how much it costs.
Choose, view and approve your own improvements, styles, textures, and colours BEFORE we start working on the boat.
CAD drastically reduces the possibility of mistakes, which reduces the possibility of delays, which reduces the chances of disappointment.
We will provide you with the 3D schematics.
+ Where do we work on your boat?
Did you know that risk of condensation and or frost will affect the paint and materials at all levels?
That is why our workshops and offices are heated using environmentally friendly heating system that uses wood chip from sustainably managed forests. This allows us to paint boats in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
We are proud to be the only company in the industry that greatly invested in a modern approach.
We take pride in being unique when it comes to care for the way we build your boat.
The warm and comfortable environment also improves our staff’s moral, which in turn raises the quality of their workmanship on your boat.
+ Where do we start to work on your boat?
We use sand blasting to provide a dry, clean steel hull which is a vitally important step before the painting is done.
Sand blasting prepares the hull to be smothered in epoxy paint, which has the best adhesive characteristics of any commercial paint and is 100% waterproof.
Sand blasting and epoxy paint provide the ultimate protection for your boat and a perfect base for the finishing 2K primer and top coat.
Our experience and confidence in the industry, combined with our investment in the latest technology and high-quality materials, has gained us a manufacturer guarantee. You will sail away with a durable marine paint finish to be proud of.
+ How do we test your boat?
We have on-site a 40 tons boat hoist, hydraulic trailer, and heavy-duty slipway that permit us to launch and test your boat.
This allows us to check for any faults or risk of failures prior to the delivery to you.
After our test and the customer hand over, you will be confident that your boat is ready to be hoisted onto a truck for transportation, which we can arrange for you, or have your boat placed directly in the marina.
All is left for you to do is sail away!
+ What are the choices of paint and final touches?
We proud ourselves into being able to offer you a bespoke boat. This means that we will have a range of exterior and interior colours for you to pick from, using the very latest paint technology and high quality durable paints and materials.
We pick the best interior finishing by collaborating with great partners. You will be able to choose from a wide range of kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms styles. Luxury flooring, wooden internal finishing, and soft furnishing are also provided.
As a company we can offer a high standard, bespoke boat. Designed using Computer Aided Design software, we will provide you with 3D drawings and plans enabling you to decide exactly the way you want your boat before we start working on it.
+ How far can you go with your boat?
Most rivers and canals will have you sail at about 4mph, allowing you to take in the beautiful scenery at a cruising pace.
You can visit the Canal & River Trust website for more information regarding speed restrictions or canals and rivers limitations.
+ Where can you keep or moor your boat?
There are many places to keep or moor your boat thanks to the many marinas located all over the UK, on rivers and canals.
Click HERE for a quick search of available moorings.
+ Do you need any licence?
If you have a boat on the water, you need a license. Even in a marina you need a River only or River & Canal or Canal only license. You can upgrade a River or Canal only to a River & Canal license for short periods of time if you want to go travelling for a short period of time or longer one! A Gold licence from the Canal & River Trust will allow you to live and travel the canals and rivers controlled by the Canal & River Trust.

Each boat description will state the amount of berths and/or beds they have.
+ How many people can your boat safely host?
Regardless of the boat you choose, we always provide our boats with a builders’ plaque which will tell you the carrying capacity, and the number of passengers (including skipper) you are allowed on board without invalidating your insurance.
+ Is there something you can have in a house but not on your boat?
Nope! Any services that you can find inside houses these days, you will be able to find them on our boats. Also, most things can be catered for with extra battery power or mobile WiFi.
+ What are the running costs of a boat?
The running costs for an inland waterways boats are approximately £4,000-£6,000 pa, outside of London. That should include moorings, insurance, and licence.
Maintenance, fuel, and heating will depend on usage, with an approximate estimate of £1,000 to £2,000 pa.
+ You have never driven a boat before?
Safety comes first. All our boats are built with safety and manoeuvrability in mind. We provide you with user friendly equipment, instructions, and essential training if needed.
Even though legally you don’t require a certificate or training to use a boat on the inland waterways, we do recommend to look into a health and safety training prior beginning your adventure.
We can advise and/or arrange your training with our collaborators.
+ Can you actually afford a boat?
You have seen our fully fitted boats, maybe you are looking at those few extras that will make your boat just perfect, or maybe you are tempted by the idea of building your own Sailaway.
We understand that purchasing a boat has a huge financial cost. You may need financial help to assist you in the decision making, or to decide which extras will benefit you more.

+ After all this, who organises all the paperwork?
When everything is green lighted, we will prepare the paperwork for you to fill in and sign. We also have an online Direct Debit form that we can help you complete if you need us to.
This enables the finance company to pay for the boat and draw funds from your bank when required. Your boat must be Comprehensively insured always during your finance term.
+ Are there any TAX advantages?
There are tax advantages (VAT free) when you buy a Wide Beam or Barge, but not when you buy a Narrowboat.
All our boat descriptions will include details regarding VAT and what it takes for each boat to include or exclude VAT.
The D measurement is measured from under the top of the gunwale to the base plate.
The gross tonnage must be above 15 tons.

I think it is a good time to look at what and how much you are consuming. I think it is helpful to look at across everything you consume, from what you buy at retail stores to what you eat to how much water and electricity you use. But I’m focused more on the media I consume right now.
I’m thinking through each media source – Twitter, Facebook, blogs, Apple News, books, and TV. How much time do I spend on each a week? How much does each distract me from the bigger things I want to accomplish? How much does each enrich my life?
I’m going to watch myself over the next couple of weeks with these questions in mind and see if I want to make changes.

People have either studied English Literature once in our life time or maybe some are still left to have it as our subject. In any which ways we study about the different other authors, writers, poets, and artists related to English Literature that evolved from all around the world. Which means it does not, for real, only include various great artists not just from England but from various other countries as well like Scotland and Ireland and many other such various countries. As and along the British colonies were spreading throughout the world, the English Literature also started expanding. It all seems to have been started in between the 8th to 11th century according to the poem written by Beouwlf.
Not just the literature but their cultures and the norms and everything were being spread all throughout the world, one of the best ways to keep these cultures, stories and tales alive was through English Literature. They don’t just tell us about different existing genre of fiction but also the non-fiction part about the past which included the greatest of all rules and kings and queens and their heroic acts. From the greatest wars won to the worst wars lost and the best of love stories to the saddest tales in the history, all has been covered by English Literature. Of course there are different time phases and centuries how the language has changed and grown over the centuries. Every day a new word has been added to the dictionary.
Not only this but it also has different genre which come both under fiction and non-fiction like action, thriller, history, geography, comedy, mystery, cultures, romance, ghost stories, and many other such. It was also spread all over America and there are various authors who as well evolved from there and slowly there were artists from all around the world. There have been so many various successful novels and stories which have happened over the past. Various movies have been further made from them. For example: Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare and Hamlet of the same.
Today, English Literature has been spread all over the world. 78% of the education systems across the country have English as their first language and have included English Literature for study purpose where the stories from various authors and poems from various poets have been added. People have also gotten into the field of Literature to write more and more novels about it and even in the teaching line.

people have either studied english literature once in our life time or maybe some are still left to have it as our subject. in any which ways we study about the different other authors, writers, poets, and artists related to english literature that evolved from all around the world. which means it does not, for real, only include various great artists not just from england but from various other countries as well like scotland and ireland and many other such various countries. as and along the british colonies were spreading throughout the world, the english literature also started expanding. it all seems to have been started in between the 8th to 11th century according to the poem written by beouwlf.
not just the literature but their cultures and the norms and everything were being spread all throughout the world, one of the best ways to keep these cultures, stories and tales alive was through english literature. they don’t just tell us about different existing genre of fiction but also the non-fiction part about the past which included the greatest of all rules and kings and queens and their heroic acts. from the greatest wars won to the worst wars lost and the best of love stories to the saddest tales in the history, all has been covered by english literature. of course there are different time phases and centuries how the language has changed and grown over the centuries. every day a new word has been added to the dictionary.
not only this but it also has different genre which come both under fiction and non-fiction like action, thriller, history, geography, comedy, mystery, cultures, romance, ghost stories, and many other such. it was also spread all over america and there are various authors who as well evolved from there and slowly there were artists from all around the world. there have been so many various successful novels and stories which have happened over the past. various movies have been further made from them. for example: romeo and juliet by shakespeare and hamlet of the same.
today, english literature has been spread all over the world. 78% of the education systems across the country have english as their first language and have included english literature for study purpose where the stories from various authors and poems from various poets have been added. people have also gotten into the field of literature to write more and more novels about it and even in the teaching line.

BANGKOK (AP) - The price of oil fell below $108 a barrel Friday after British lawmakers refused to approve military action against Syria, easing concerns about international intervention in the country's civil war.
BANGKOK (AP) � The price of oil fell below $108 a barrel Friday after British lawmakers refused to approve military action against Syria, easing concerns about international intervention in the country's civil war.
Benchmark oil for October delivery was down $1.13 to $107.67 per barrel at midday Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.30 to close at $108.80 a barrel on the Nymex on Thursday.
Dropping oil prices reflected the relief traders felt.
"We might see oil come off a little bit," said Stan Shamu, market strategist at IG in Melbourne, Australia. "But if the situation escalates over the weekend, that might be a different story."
Brent crude, the benchmark for international crudes, fell 65 cents $114.50 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
� Heating oil lost 1 cent to $3.178 per gallon.
� Natural gas rose 2.2 cents to $3.64 per 1,000 cubic feet.

The main strength of this excellent book is the character study of Kimmo Joentaa, a young police detective trying to come to terms with the death of his even younger wife from Hodgkin's lymphoma. Returning to work after this sad event, Kimmo is confronted with the case of a woman who has been suffocated in her sleep. As he and his colleagues investigate the crime, he sees parallels with the dead woman's life and that of his own wife.
There isn't much of a mystery to the book. The murderer is revealed to the reader fairly early on, and although the author can't entirely rise above the "mind of the murderer" genre cliche, this aspect is handled better than many other books purporting to provide motivation and insights into the criminal mind.
Two more murders follow, and Kimmo, in his vulnerable and inconsolable state, becomes more and more in tune with the victims' lives and families. His investigation is a mix of the police procedural and of acting on instinct: at one point he impulsively goes to visit a witness in Sweden rather than turning up to work, mainly because he believes he can talk to this woman about his wife's death. Later on, Kimmo makes a German witness fly to Finland to be with him in his house, an experience that provides both men with some insights about themselves and their respective futures.
The story of Kimmo's thoughts and memories of his wife, and of his attempts to connect with family and friends, form the backbone of this haunting book. In a kind of merging of mourning, Kimmo's identity with the three cases eventually enables him to understand who the murderer is in a flash of insight: the question then is finding him and bringing him to justice.
Kimmo's boss, Ketola, is a great character. Kimmo and he have never spoken about personal issues before the book opens, and Kimmo has no idea what his boss thinks of him, if anything, on a professional level. During the course of the story Ketola loses it in various unpredictable and even comic ways, by the end of the book becoming a defined character in his own right. I very much hope we'll read more in future, both about Kimmo Joentaa and his irascible yet surprisingly sympathetic boss.

“The truth is that nobody knows what that magic combination is that produces a first-rate piece of work….
i typed those quotes wanting to talk about preparation, but then i decided to write about accidents. how many miraculous things come out of things that happen which are outside of our control. accident is often a negative word, because of the nature of accidents. often in an accident people are hurt or things are damaged due to them. but every once in a while, something accidentally happens that is a great thing. if it weren’t for accidents, we wouldn’t have Velcro, microwaves, post-it notes, or potato chips. also there are people who are famous by accident, including Mel Gibson, Evangeline Lilly and Marilyn Monroe. not that they weren’t talented or hardworking, it’s just that their big breaks came by being the right place at the right time.
lots of accidents happen on movie scenes and end up being left in the final edit, from Viggo Mortensen breaking toes, dodging knives and nearly drowning in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, to beer cans being thrown at John Malkovich’s head as he had just come out of John Malkovich’s head. and one of my favorites from Midnight Cowboy, where an actual taxi nearly ran over Dustin Hoffman and he reacted by uttering the famous line “I’m walkin here!” the ultimate Sanford Meisner moment where an actual reaction was caught on film and became one of the most memorable lines in movie history. i’m sure it’s still quoted to new york cab drivers many times a day.
so sometimes accidents can be a good thing. i guess it depends on how you look at it.
← excuse me a sec. what are you babbling about?

The Tatarstan Investment Development Agency (TIDA) is a special executive body of the Government of Tatarstan founded in 2011 to carry out investment promotion and facilitation. TIDA is responsible for all international investment and business projects in the Republic of Tatarstan, reporting directly to the President of Tatarstan.
TIDA focuses its efforts on attracting investment into eight priority sectors of the Tatarstan economy: chemical & petrochemical, machinery & automotive parts, construction & building materials production, agriculture & food processing, medicine & pharmaceuticals, IT & telecommunications, Halal industry, and service industry & tourism.
In carrying out our work, we work closely with 20 representative offices of the Republic of Tatarstan that are located across Russia and in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Ukraine, France, Turkey, Cuba, Finland, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, and the United States. Together with the Plenipotentiary Representative Office of Tatarstan in Moscow we regularly hold investment seminars in Moscow to provide detailed information to multinational companies about the opportunities available in our republic.
One way in which the Republic of Tatarstan has distinguished itself from other regions of Russia is the emphasis it has placed on creating the necessary infrastructure to support and attract foreign capital. The republic to date has four industrial parks, seven technoparks, six business incubators, three agro-industrial parks, and two large industrial platforms. Among the most successful of these investment sites is the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Alabuga, a federal special economic zone for industrial production. Since it was founded in 2005, SEZ Alabuga has attracted over $1 billion of investment and created over 2,800 jobs.
One of the main development and investment projects of the Republic of Tatarstan is Kazan Smart City, a groundbreaking urban development project designed to spur investment into high technology, medicine, education and tourism, transforming Tatarstan’s capital of Kazan into an international business hub with ideal conditions for working and living.

featuring his new stencil designs from StencilGirl Products.
and used the Urban Insider Star too.
Then covered it in Golden Brand Gesso.
I wanted it to be in the background to start with.
I used some Perfect Pigment Acrylics and the Perfect Glaze on top of this.
It gave it beautifully intense colors.
I used a brayer to lay some color down and also to lift some color up.
I played with my background until I was happy with what I had.
And some paint splats and drippiness needed happening.
First I wrote it in red but realized right away that it needed to be in black.
No worries. It's about playing and trying new things.
The page seemed kind of plain at this point.
I could use the long rectangle on his Urban Outsiders Stencil.
The Groove Tool makes it so easy to apply the ink.
from his 6x6 Transform Stencil.
And of course I used Seth's stencils in my Daily.
I started with the large rectangle again on the Urban Outsiders Stencil.
There were some words on the 6x6 Transform Stencil.
So I shaded colors and played and added texture and drips.
It made a great border for along the top of this spread.
Making it more like a unit instead of individual squares.
Seth Apter always comes up with unique designs!

Love the way you used the circle for a border!

New York, November 23, 2009—Several journalists covering relatives and supporters of a local politician who was about to file his gubernatorial candidacy on the Philippines island of Mindanao today were believed to be among those killed by a gang of armed men in Maguindanao province, according to international news reports. The Committee to Protect Journalists joined today with Philippine journalists and press organizations around the world in condemning the attack, and called for a full investigation into the details of the slaughter and prosecution of those responsible.
News reports said at least 21 people were killed after being abducted, including journalists, lawyers, and relatives of the politician. Details of the attack and the number of people killed and injured were still emerging. Another 22 people were unaccounted for, The New York Times reported, citing military officials.
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo condemned the attack in a statement and said no effort would be spared to find those responsible. “Civilized society has no place for this kind of violence," she said.
Armed men seized a convoy of political allies of a local vice mayor, Ismael Mangudadatu, at gunpoint around 10:30 a.m, according to news reports. Genalyn Mangudadatu, the vice mayor’s wife, was in the convoy, heading to file gubernatorial candidacy papers for her husband for the nationwide May 2010 elections. Ismael Mangudadatu was not in the group.
The police have not identified the attackers. Philippine press reports say Mangudadatu was reportedly planning to challenge local political leader Datu Andal Ampatuan for the provincial governor’s office.
The Philippines is one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists, with more than 38 killed for their work since 1992, and 27 others in which the motive was not clear. Very few cases have been brought to trial, giving the country one of the worst records of impunity in the cases of killed journalists in the world.

Laser Hair Removal at Home – Hot or Not!
There are several IPL (Intense Pulse Light) machines in the market today that promise to deliver amazing results. Brands such as Tria, Boots, E-One, and No No all claim to leave your skin silky smooth and hair free. But, are these laser hair removal machines really worth the investment?
Depending on your needs and how far away you live from the salon, laser hair removal at home hair can have many benefits. However, people often find that, when compared to professional services, these at-home devices are not nearly as effective. Before you spend a lot of money on an IPL machine you should look at both the advantages and disadvantages so you know exactly what to expect from your purchase.
More affordable: Good quality equipment can cost £1000 or more, but considering that laser treatments at a salon can total anywhere from £500 - £3000 per body part, this adds up to quite a savings. And, your machine is a onetime investment that you will be able to use on other areas of your body without a lot of additional costs.
Flexibility: When you have the machine at home, you don`t have to worry about fitting scheduled appointments into your busy schedule. You can use the equipment at your own convenience.
Privacy: You may not feel comfortable going into a clinic, especially to have certain areas treated. With laser hair removal at home, you can get results without feeling self-conscious or nervous.
Safe: If you use approved equipment, follow instructions carefully, and heed all warnings, at home devices have proven to be a safe way to remove unwanted hair.
Pain Regulation: Since you can control the intensity of the machine, you will be able to go at your own pace and find a comfortable balance between achieving the results you want with a tolerable pain level.
Results: With equipment for laser hair removal at home, you really do get what you pay for. Less expensive machines do not seem to deliver the best results; whereas, the more costly products have been shown to reduce the amount of hair re-growth by 50-80% with results lasting anywhere from 6 weeks to one year.
Time Consuming: The intensity of at-home machines are not nearly as high as those found in professional salons so it will take a long time to do even a small area. Multiple sessions are also required at professional establishments but more will be accomplished per visit and fewer treatments will be needed.
Regrowth: Although home laser systems work much the same way as professional ones, the lower intensity means less effectiveness. Many people find that the hair grows back faster and the treatments are less permanent than professional hair removal. Results will usually last longer than waxing but may not be as long-term as you expect.
Ease of Use: Some machines are quite complicated and can be difficult to use.
Replacement parts: IPL machines work by sending light pulses into the hair follicles, and these light bulbs will need to be replaced regularly. This cost should be taken into account when deciding if purchasing your own device is worth the investment.
Not Appropriate For Every Skin Type: Typically, laser treatments are only recommended for those with dark hair and fair skin. In fact, many of the at-home devices available will warn that their product is not appropriate for people with certain hair colors or skin types. Some machines will also ask you to select your skin type before using. Incorrect use can result in permanent damage such as pigment changes or scarring.
Discipline: While laser hair removal home kits allow you to use your machine at your convenience, you must be much disciplined to complete treatments, especially at the beginning, or you will be disappointed with the results. You will need 2-4 sessions a week for several weeks, and it can be easy to skip sessions if you are too busy or too tired. Making appointments at a professional salon will be less convenient, but you may be more likely to stick to the schedule and complete your treatments.
Intensity: At-home machines have intensity level options that you can adjust if you find the treatments too painful. Unfortunately, if the intensity is too low, you will not get good results. If you think you may be tempted to reduce the level too much then visiting a salon may be a better option. Many clinicians will use a topical anesthetic to help minimize the pain so you can get the best results from your sessions.
Home laser hair removal machines can offer some advantages, especially if cost is an issue or there are no salons in your area that offer this treatment. However, professional laser treatment will give you better results in fewer sessions, with the added skill and expertise of a trained clinician.
