A long-awaited new book on the Inland Waterways of the Netherlands get its official launch at the Excel Boat Show and authors Louise Busby and David Broad will be signing copies on the Imray stand (N007A) from 2pm on Sunday 13th.

It is thirty years since a comprehensive guide to the extensive network of Dutch waterways was published and this attempt not only gives vital navigational details, but puts some colour into the subject with detailed descriptions of places to visit and things to do. Featuring all waterways with an air draught of 3.5m or more, the book will be essential reading for anyone thinking of visiting this popular cruising destination.
