Anyone any idea where I might come across  NFPA 303: Fire Protection Standard for Marinas and Boatyards?

Try the Library of Congress. NFPA is an American standard

Thought I might try and source it in UK.

You might be able to download it from the Barbour Index if you have access to it. http://www.barbour.info/barbourinfo/

Hi nearlythere
Cant really help you- except that you can download it for 35 dollars here:

http://webstore.ansi.org/RecordDetail.aspx?sku=NFPA+303-2006&source=google&adgroup=nfpa&keyword=nfpa%20303&gclid=CL-fzeu6j5YCFQ9cQgodyFLsEA

Be sure its the one you want- there is a similar document NFPA 302 for commercial marinas.

You may find a second hand copy via abe books etc but these tend to be more expensive than the original.

I usually pass the cost of such specialist info to the customer.

Thanks all.

Seems nobody has a copy stashed away in an e-store anywhere.

Mind you at around £20 it comes in a heck of a lot cheaper than most UK guides.
