PWH Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Does anyone have recent information about the minimum depth of the Ribble Link. I have seen suggestions it is 24" or 30" and even 33". I am thinking of using it in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Megson Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 24". https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/refresh/media/thumbnail/30977-ribble-link-skippers-guide.pdf That seems very shallow, most narrowboats are deeper draft. Does anyone know if it really is 24" or is that CART being conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machpoint005 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 seems very shallow I am 24" draft and most boaters I have met seem to be 27 - 30" draft. Blimey, and I though I had short legs. Oh, you mean the boat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter-Bullfinch Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 On the online booking form you have to enter two foot or less. Ours is more than this by quite a few inches and we make it up and down. Yes, Savick Brook is shallow but the silt seems to be regularly spot dredged so it's always been ok.
