I am pretty sure that

from article is a big misunderstanding or a blatant lie.

But what kind of minimal funds are needed to pay for a boat, fuel, repairs, docking fees etc. Can it be cheaper than renting/owning flat?

For canal boating, absolutely. Maybe 20-30k for a cheaper boat. Can moor for free. Coal and fuel maybe £100 a month each, depending on how much you travel/if you have solar etc. You do need to black your hull every few years, but they’re generally sturdy and don’t need much more than that.

Yachting, I have no idea.
