Thanks, but I was looking for something a lot more vague than this. Not to worry, I'll just round this figure up to 2m and then take an average of everyone's extremely helpful readings. Keep going guys, I appreciate you all. Thanks, great intel. That drainage hole was a good spot. Excluding outliers, it looks as though I'm looking at creating a design about 1m high. Thank you all so much.

No problem, I just need someone to please measure the side of their narrowboat, from the gunnel up to the roof edge, and tell me what it is. Just to give me a rough figure. Many thanks in advance to anyone who would be able to do that. 🙂

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately I'm not currently in possession of the boat. Otherwise your very practical and helpful solution would have been perfect.

Many thanks for both of your replies. I apologise for the incorrect terminology being used. Perhaps the dimension I'm described as 'the height of the bit of a narrowboat on which a sign is usually painted'. For example, in this arbitrarily-selected photo, the distance between the gunnel (which appears to be painted red) up to the roof edge (where the mans hand is resting). I understand there's no definitive standard for this, but it must be within a range. I assume there's a maximum height/draft limit for the network, and so this dimension is fairly consistent. Accepting that there's no standard, though... Could someone please measure this dimension on their own narrowboat, and tell me what it is? Thanks again. Sam.

Hello fellow boaters. In order to commission a painted sign for my narrowboat, I need one approximate dimension: The height of the flat exterior bulkhead, from the gunnel to the ceiling edge. I assume this is fairly standard across most narrowboats, so could someone please tell me this approximate figure? Many thanks, Sam.
