Smoggy Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 If you higher a martham boat it will NOT get under ph bridge, if you hire one it will.😛 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 We had a pretty lengthy discussion with the bridge pilot this summer about if our boat would get through the bridge. It was going to be close but the pilot reckoned he could get her through. In the end we decided that it was not worth the risk of breaking a screen (not at £10k a side!) so we ended up hiring one of their day boats for half a day instead. It is a shame we didn't get our own boat through as it is now the only bridge she has not been through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's good business! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A boat the same as ours smashed one front screen which is curved and the insurance bill came to £10k. It isn't even a big piece of glass! Not worth the risk smashing one.
