Download or read book Cruising the Canals and Rivers of Belgium written by Tom Sommers and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide for planning travels along the inland waterways of Belgium at the helm of a private canal cruiser, barge or rental boat. It not only shows where a traveler can go but also why you might want to go there, and gives details for use in planning an itinerary. Also useful for bicycling, walking or car travel following the many waterway routes of Belgium.The two regions of Belgium, the flatland canals of Flanders along the English Channel and the hills & rivers of Wallonie in the south, are connected in a dense network of recently improved waterways. There are many good `havens' (marinas) available, managed by boat/yacht clubs, commercial operators or towns/cities. The country is a lot less crowded than Southern France or Northern Holland in the summer. The major waterways often serve industrial areas, thus they are busy with commercial barges and may pass through unpleasant environments. But the smaller, short-cut or dead-end canals and rivers shouldn't be overlooked, and they are included in this book. 1,578 kilometers of waterways are currently active. Although a few canals are dead-end, all 52 waterways are connected in a single network that can be accessed by any cruising vessel.This guide has been written to help those boaters that are "just passing through" but also to encourage pleasure cruising in Belgium, to find and enjoy a country that is rich in history, art, excellent museums, fine restaurants and friendly people in cosy, welcoming local bars. Some live-aboards have found that this is a great country in which to moor for extended periods; just find the spots that you enjoy!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several hundred boats use the French inland waterways each year as a route between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean. While there are challenges to be overcome, for yachts of moderate draught (under 1.8m) and able to unship their masts to reduce air draught to a maximum of 3.5m, the inland routes offer not only a convenient way to avoid the perils of the outside passage via Biscay and the Atlantic but a unique opportunity to sample the attractions of French landscape, history, food and culture. This guide, produced by the European Inland Waterways Section (EIWS) of the Cruising Association, includes details of all the main access points to the waterways from seaward as well as the preparations necessary for travelling on them. It covers the four principal routes by which vessels can reach the Mediterranean, together with information on boat preparation; recommended equipment; licences and regulations; navigation; practical aspects of boat handling and managing locks; moorings and nearby facilities and sources of further information. The contents are regularly updated by Cruising Association (CA) members actively cruising the French waterways.
