It's A Narrowboat Thing I'll have to get mine done at the end of this year and it's already starting to stress me even though the boat has been through it several times (before I owned it) and I've not made many alterations. I must download that checklist.

One thing that we did was to use the same examiner who had done the previous BSS. We figured that if he was happy previously and not that much had changed then we shouldn't have too much of a problem. The link to the checklist is here www.boatsafetyscheme.org/boat-examination/private-boats/ It should keep you in bedtime reading for a while!

It is peculiar to have a system that is compulsory but is not regulated by law! BSS its older than the CRT, so it was previously enforced by the BWW, i.e. a government agency, and the environment agency is very definitively a governmental agency . We have similar systems, cornering normal legal procedure in Sweden, so a fair guess is that they have picket it up in the UK (Sweden never leads). I suppose all nations rots from with in.

It looks to me like it's supposed to be an ongoing process. would this be the case? Truck and for that matter forklift drivers do a walk around check before using said vehicle. I used to help operate a paddles steamer here in Victoria and yes it failed, but that was after 10 years between surveys

Hi there, yes we always check certain things before using the boat but they tend to be on the mechanical side of things.

Another great video!, I am curious if there was any minor things found at all or if it was a flying colors (yes I'm American :) passing? In my experience inspectors seem to find something wrong even if it's just very minor. side note, the segment music you used had me scratching my head for a second on where else I heard it,, and it's from a London based youtuber (Actualol) is this an English tune or just coincidence? Thanks again for the informative video!

Hi there, great question! The boat did indeed pass with flying colours :-) Luckily the examiner was the same one who had done the previous safety check and we figured that if he was happy with it in the past then there wouldn't be that much different this time round. We were fortunate in that he was really helpful and friendly but very thorough with the checks so we know that we're safe for a while now.

That is good news to have the same person doing it. I am assuming that your BSS is done by you contacting someone who is qualified (and that is why you got the same person) instead of just ringing up the council and letting them know you need one?

Yes, the scheme has a list of registered examiners who you must use to do the checks.
