David Mack Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Canalplan data comes from CRT/EA licence records, which in turn shows what the boatowner put on the licence application form. So none of it is guaranteed to be accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list detailed below give the numbers from 1980 until 2000, if your number is after 504425 it will not help. 60011 to 70561 1980/1* 77500 to 77599 1980/1* 77700 to 79999 1980/1* 76000 to 77499 1982 77600 to 77699 1982 73000 to 73099 1983 75000 to 75399 1983 70562 to 71580 1984 71581 to 72567 1985 72568 to 72599 1986 73100 to 73800 1986 72600 to 72999 1987 73801 to 74856 1987 45501 to 45505 1988 74857 to 74999 1988 75400 to 75999 1988 45506 to 47299 1989 47300 to 49586 1990 49587 to 51320 1991 51321 to 52606 1992 52607 to 53554 1993 53555 to 54394 1994 54395 to 55000 1995 500010 to 500398 1995 500399 to 501364 1996 501365 to 502357 1997 502358 to 503369 1998 503370 to 504424 1999 504425 to 2000 * = System first launched for 1980/1 so boats listed as this will include craft built before this date Edited May 16, 2017 by David Schweizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenataomm Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Sometimes just putting in the index number will throw up your boat with a previous name (mine does) which then shows the information submitted at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true. I registered a boat in 1995 on bw waters and moored it at Gloucester docks. The boat however had been registered on non bw waters for many years having been built in 1939. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that the B.W.B. Index Number for your last boat was issued in 1990 whilst it was being built so prior to its completion date of 1992 Edited May 16, 2017 by pete harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
