Our boats are currently kept at Portland Basin Museum.
The mooring is within the walled grounds of the museum, but we still like to ensure a human presence on board, during the evenings and at night time.
A number of people regularly help by “Boat Sitting” from time to time and enjoy spending the night on a boat in a pleasant setting. If this appeals to you there are plenty of opportunities to boat sit so please contact us.
Hi
I was just wondering what i would have to do to become a boat sitter and is it all safe at night?
Thank You

Hi Karen,
The boats are moored at Portland Basin Museum in Ashton-under-lyne during the evening and night there is no land access as the museum doors are locked as is the gate. As far as I know no one has crossed the canal to the boats. The museum is open from 9am Tuesday to Sunday so if your a late riser you might find people walking around on the wharf from the museum.
In regards to becoming a boat sitter please email me on ryan.hinds@wcbs.org.uk and I will give you more information
Regards
Ryan
