boat length

[Whale]

I wonder if someone could please give the definitive answer -- if you want to cruise the entire system, how long (or short!) must the boat be? Many thanks....

58ft.... just.

Depends what you mean by the "entire system". If you include Teddington Skiff Lock the answer is 49 ft 6" (and 5 ft 10" wide).

Yes it depends what you mean by "the entire system". For example it's 42ft at Brandon Lock on the Little Ouse.

 

There are a lot of good answers in this thread.
