__________________________________________________________________________ EDITORIAL As the end of 2006 was nearing, Dr Paolo Vitelli, owner and president of Azimut-Benetti, one of the world’s top five boat builders, encouraged industry leaders gathered for the opening address at METS, to get behind a new initiative by the International Council of Marine Industry Association (ICOMIA) to compile timely, accurate statistics on global boat sales. “What we miss most in this industry,” contended Dr. Vitelli, “is reliable statistics.” ICOMIA is in a unique position to address this challenge. Founded in 1967 to bring together the national federations and other bodies representing the recreational boating industry around the world, ICOMIA has always focused on collecting relevant industry data as one of its core objectives. Today ICOMIA members cover 28 of the major marine markets estimated to represent approximately 90% of the global boating business. Through its Marine Industry Association members, ICOMIA has gained the commitment of more than 30 internationally oriented boat builders – including a majority of industry’s highest volume producers – to input boat sales data directly into an on-line database broken down by units, value, country of sale and considerable product detail. As the close of 2008 nears, participants are seeing the results of these efforts for the first time -- with access to aggregated results of their competitors – month by month, market by market, boat category by boat category. With an unprecedented level of uncertainty in today’s market, the timing for such direct insight into boat sales trends couldn’t be better. Only those companies that contribute data will have access to the results, but the programme will unquestionably move industry statistics to the next level for the boat building sector and promises downstream benefits for supplier and distribution partners of participating builders. The new boat sales statistics initiative compliments this annual report on the main boating markets around the world - a long-established annual compilation of data from ICOMIA’s MIA members. The MIA figures encompass multiple measures of the type and scale of the recreational marine industry in each country including external influences on boating, the number of companies and employees active in the industry, production and sales estimates by segment, as well as import and export figures. Separate reports on the outboard engine and personal watercraft segments as well as the lucrative Superyacht sector round out the industry picture. The complexity of compiling this annual data mirrors the complexity of the industry itself – a highly fragmented business comprised of tens of thousands of predominantly small to medium sized enterprises, many of them still family owned and managed and reluctant to share numbers.

This exceeded the direct GVA contributions from libraries, archives, museums and other cultural activities; retail sale of books in specialised stores; activities of amusement parks and theme parks and the renting and leasing of recreational and sports goods. Considering the growth rates since 2010, the leisure marine industry has performed slightly worse, although still grew by 20%, exceeding the GVA growth of the retail sale of books in specialised stores.10 10 Based on methodological difficulties in defining the GVA of the Libraries, archives, museums and other cultural activities industry, a negative GVA was recorded in 2010, distorting the growth rate from this year to 2017. As such, to maintain comparability this has been removed. © Centre for Economics and Business Research 34 6 The UK leisure marine industry: A forward look In this final section of the report we present projections of the leisure marine industry for the period 2019- 2023.

  • Terms Applying Only to Narrowboats and the Canals
    TERMS APPLYING ONLY TO NARROWBOATS AND THE CANALS By Jeffrey Casciani-Wood A narrowboat or narrowboat is a boat of a distinctive design, built to fit the narrow canals of Great Britain. Wikipedia This glossary covers terms that apply only to narrowboats and their environs and is included because the author firmly believes that the marine surveyor, in order to do his job properly, needs to understand extensively the background and history of the vessel he is surveying. Abutment The supporting or retaining wall of a brick, concrete or masonry structure, particularly where it joins the item (e.g. bridge girder or arch) which it supports. Advanced Electronic means of managing the charge to the batteries from the Alternator engine's alternator(s). Ensures that the batteries are more fully charged Controller and can increase useful battery life. Aegre Tidal bore or wave which is set up by the first of a flood tide as it runs up the river Trent and the word is sometimes spelt Aegir. Air Draught The overall height of a vessel measured from the water line to the highest fixed part of the superstructure. Ait A small island in the upper reaches of the river Thames and the word is sometimes spelt eyot. Anærobes Micro organisms, many exceedingly dangerous to human health, that live in the absence of free oxygen and often to be found in the condensate water settled at the bottom of diesel fuel tanks. Care is required when bleeding a fuel/water separator or when cleaning out fuel tank as their presence can lead to fuel oil problems.

We’re now in our 24th edition and you’ll see that the guide has grown, to give comprehensive detail on all aspects of inland waterway boating. In the first guide there was mention of the ‘Certificate of Compliance’, a check by surveyors to confirm the boat was built to the required standards, which was just the start of increased regulation and build requirements. is Certificate is now the Boat Safety Scheme’s BSS Certificate and the late 1990s saw the introduction of the Recreational Craft Directive, setting minimum requirements for new craft. is Directive is now in its third form and encompasses changes to existing craft as well as new. ese important requirements assist you, as a boat buyer and owner, in providing confidence that your boat meets minimum safety levels.

They were delivered between May 1912 and April 1914 at a cost of £190 each and used for carrying general goods on the canal system. "Composite" means that it has a wooden bottom but iron sides. They were built using all-riveted, iron plate sides on forged iron frames and with an elm bottom. Ilkeston was registered in Birmingham, No 1273 on 4th October 1912 The numbers on the cabin side also indicate that it was No 270 in the FMC fleet, its BCN gauging number, given in December 1913 was 21961 and its June 1914 Grand Union Canal gauging number 11860. The FMC Watermans Hall number for working on the River Thames was 1396. Ilkeston could have been towed by the steam-powered narrow boats like President and later the motor boats owned and operated by the company. In 1945, she was one of four boats sold to the Bridgewater Department of the Manchester Ship Canal Company for £344. With her cabin and running gear removed, Ilkeston was used as a mud boat on dredging operations on the Bridgewater Canal. She was renamed Mud Boat No 3 (MB No.3 ), also just plain No.6 . In 1976 Ilkeston was sold to Tim Wood and kept at Bull’s Bridge Basin, where an extended back cabin was added to increase the living space.
