re boat parking etiquette: at the dock yard it is acceptable to "double moor" as needed - which is decided by the boat yard manger (in my case Paddy) the boat I am moored with is a project - no one's been around to work on it since I've been here. It may even be owned by the boat yard.. I've not asked.
When I was getting Miracle craned out of the water for inspection we had to wait. At this time the boat yard manager (Steve at that yard) allocated me a space next to two others so we were 3 deep. In congested areas like these its allowed.
I would expect in general the boats you see doubled or tripled in the canal or river know each other and are together for convenience. In emergencies or when there's no options then its also acceptabel to use anothers boat to cross over to the land but refrain from looking in doors or windows its a HUGE NO-NO
