When I arranged the insurance for Arun there were a number of questions to answer, including would I be single handing and would I be travelling after dark. I called them up to ask if this was likely to be a problem, only to be told that they were concerned about people single handing small motor vessels out at sea, setting the auto-compass for Dieppe (or wherever) and going to sleep. Single handing on the canal at night would not be an issue. Rather amusingly, one of the questions asked if I wanted cover for towing water skiers!
