A very interesting piece of research. Thank you. To put it into context, from your post, these are the 'depth under hull' measurements. What has to be added to give an indication of overall depth? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 have you passed this document to BRAG, as I am sure they would be interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure tbh, as I've never calibrated it, but I do know it's pretty accurate in showing the depth under the keel from visual checks travelling in shallow water. But if nothing else, the results are all relative to each other if not entirely accurate / scientific, and will only cost 2 litres of diesel if anybody wants me to do another one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesey69 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Just to add, hit something mid channel around start of marker posts. Sounded like going over gravel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 it is my belief that we should report incidents such as this to the broads authority, the more evidence of groundings / touching bottom, we provide them, the less they can argue that the channel is clear and to depth. especially mid channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may carry some weight for those properties and land that flood upstream too alerting other interested parties. This will add to pressure on flood alleviation all round Kindest Regards Marge and Parge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a quick look at the BA depth charts and I'm gonna place a bet - the red box I've drawn here corresponds with your 1'9" sounding, and I think that's between the 4th and 5th marker post (when heading downstream)... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 There used to be a cattle swim at Mautby. That might explain the gravel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
