P R Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hi Im sure it’s been asked before, but what is the maximum boat length for covering the entire connected system? (Not including Brandon lock which is annoyingly short!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booke23 Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) 57’ (although 58’ 6” is apparently doable if you lift the fenders) Edited June 11, 2021 by booke23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy D'arth Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 57' 6" I believe. All depends on how warm the weather is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie patrick Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 "about 57 feet" Above that you get into the shape of the stern, the shape of the bow, lifting the fenders, how much stress you can live with, and whether there is a total eclipse in Namibia next Tuesday (Okay, the last bit is an exageration) If you already have a narrow boat 58-60 foot don't trade it in, but if you are buying one for the express purpose of cruising the whole system then personally I wouldn't push the limits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 57ft but if I get another boat it will be 55ft - less stressful in shorter locks and probably no noticeable loss inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
