F.A.Q's - Union Canal Flotilla

How do we register a boat to take part in the flotilla ?

Registering your boat could not be easier. There is an on line registration form which can be found at www.boatregister200.live

How do we register more than one boat ?

You can register as many boats as you wish, but you need to submit an application form for each one individually.

Does it cost to register a boat for the Flotilla ?

No, entering the flotilla is free of charge ~ we just want as many boats as possible participating. If you wish to attend the early evening function at Linlithgow, there is a ticket charge which you will need to purchase in advance.

Do Kayakers or Paddleboarders need to Register ?

No, only boats are required to register, but we would like you to advise us of the type of craft you are using, and the size of your party / organisation ~ you can do so here. Paddle Boarders and Kayakers are welcome to join the flotilla at any time. They must still however purchase a ticket for the Linlithgow early evening celebrations if they wish to attend.

Can I change my mind about where I join the flotilla ?

Yes, the information you provide in the form is simply to give us some guidance as to the number of boats attending from a given location, but feel free to change your mind and join or leave the flotilla as you wish.

Why do you need to know the size of my boat(s) ?

Knowing the size of the boats participating will assist the shore marshals in mooring management at Linlithgow & Manse Road Basin. Note that you may not be able to moor at Manse Road Basin due to limited space available, and you may be directed to a mooring position at one of the official mooring points lying to the east or west of the basin. Please follow the shore marshal's instructions.

Will there be other boats on the canal ?

Yes, we sincerely hope so. The canal is open for all to use and enjoy, so you may meet oncoming boats, holiday boats kayakers, paddle boarders etc. Please respect them and comply with all canal etiquette and flotilla rules at all times.

Can I make a postal application to Register

Yes, to obtain a hard copy of the registration form, please contact ....
