Do they use the same system of charging extortionate rates for fuel useage over here as they do in France?

In a wind like today they are just like a leaf on the water - no control whatsoever. Will avoid like the plague if I see any narrow boats.
Rubbish!!
They are heavier than a plastic boat so don't get blown around so easily, plus seem to have much less sticking in the air than many cruisers.

Thank you all for your explanations, and duly noted.
Certainly something to think about.

Being a sewer rat, that bridge looks no lower than a lot of canal bridges or tunnels. (especially Harecastle!!)
What is the problem? Or is it that too many hire boaters are bloody useless?

As NBD run the pilots, a phone call to them may be a good idea too
as to which of their boats will get under the bridge that suit you.
They would take the boat straight through for you on collection day.
NBD?
I presume the pilot just takes you through the bridge?
Strewth!!
... and watch out for us sailors and kayakers Taffy!
Watch it, mush!! :
We sewer rats bite you know?

2 years ago we had a very pleasant holiday in our touring caravan, based in Coltishall. We have now started thinking of doing something similar next year, but thought of having a boat for a week, and would like to visit Coltishall again.
I understand that there might be a problem with this idea due to the clearance of the bridge at Wroxham. Can someone clarify and possibly suggest a suitable hire company for a 60 year old resonably active couple used to steering a sewer tube?
No, Dear, I'm Not Going Sailing Today!
