DBA - The Barge Association[1] is a club for leisure users of European inland waterways.
The club was formed in 1992 as "The Dutch Barge Association", by a small group of UK owners of Dutch barges. It later expanded to include any form of barge and other types of boat with the same interests in cruising in European rivers and canals, becoming "DBA - The Barge Association", DBA for short.
DBA maintains an active website with much information about barges and the European waterways, including purchase, training, regulations and technical advice. It contains a Waterways Guide with moorings and waterside facilities, frequently updated by members as they travel, and an active Forum for members to exchange information and advice.
DBA publishes a bi-monthly magazine, Blue Flag, plus an online newsletter in the other months.
DBA representatives attend meetings with Waterway authorities throughout Europe, and work with other organisations, to support its members' interests.
DBA's aims are to:
Promote interest in barging
Be the representative body for non-commercial barging
Be the premier source of barging information
Establish contact with and influence other relevant clubs, societies, navigation authorities and trade associations.
Keep members informed on all barge related topics
Facilitate communication between members to provide the opportunity for discussion of all aspects of barging.
The club's members are from all over the world. Many are retired and have time for extended cruising, sometimes all summer; but an increasing number are younger members who are able to work from their boat. Some are permanently living aboard, whether travelling or static. Members' boats range from 14m to 38m LOA, split around 50:50 above:below 20m LOA. About half are conversions of old commercial barges, with an increasing number of purpose-built pleasure craft, like.[2] who manufacture Dutch-style motor barges.
