boatsandsteam Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Can someone confirm the max size boat which can use the winding hole just north of bridge 59 on South Stratford at Wilmcote. Many years ago it was 50 foot max. No notation on Nicholson. Trying to avoid the last 16 locks down to Stratford. Many thanks ( I am 62 feet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStringPudding Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Could have sworn I used to turn there. My boat is 65ft. But as it was a long time ago I might be mistaken which winding hole it is, so I'll let someone who's a bit more certain confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john6767 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Only from observation, not having turned there, it is much bigged than 50ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 The latest Pearsons says 70 ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunfixing Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I have used it quite a few times, my boat is 60ft but there was plenty of room for a longer boat. I do the same to avoid going down the rest of the locks. Then use the train, much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
