Keeping Your Feet Dry V

This will be the fifth steamboater training Keeping your Feet Dry event!

The venue again will be the Fell Foot, the National Trust's place at the southern end of Windermere on (provisionally) Friday 11th September 2026.

It designed to be inexpensive, will be for a maximum of 12 people and will be highly informative and hands-on, with time on the water and the opportunity enjoy operating small marine steam plants of different kinds.

It's the ideal starting point if you are thinking of getting a steam boat, or just want to know more and is open to all.

Registration for trainees will open in Summer 2026.

Further information here. A risk assessment is available here.

The handout which was provided at the 2025 event may be downloaded here - we don't foresee any significant changes to it this year.

Registration for boats is open now. Owners of boats participating (Instructors) please register for the event and complete the event declaration form which can be found here. We need at least 4 boats, and the more the better!
