Buy a boat with fixed keel and a dinghy for the few places you does not come
close enough to dry land.

I want to do things like canals and inland waterways with limited draught
plus uprivers etc like (say) Portugal etc. French waterways on my mind.

i think they are the best. i have a pacship29 but i know Tartan makes them
up to 50ft or so. The bit of leeway is insignificant except for perhaps long
voyages and other factors could be more prevalent. You will love being able
to go where so many others can't and it is amzing how many palces you can
get to with an extra foot or so of clearance.

I used to sail an old english twin keel boat. Came in everywhere. That can
be a cheaper alternative.
