mbird Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 That's the Chet out for us until spring then by the looks of it. We are 12'6" beam so it would be an even tighter squeeze than normal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Worth bearing in mind perhaps that officially anything over 12'6" beam is restricted on the Chet according to the BA bylaws. Actually, over 12'6" is very restricted on where she can go: http://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/broads/live/boating/navigating/byelaws/Vessel_Dimensions_Byelaws.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbird Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Oops, I just double checked and we're actually 12'2", not 12'6". Phew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Up to and including 12'6" is ok - it's over 12'6" which is more problematic..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 They did say a 'minimum', so unlikely to be less than 12' 6" even as they like to err on the side of caution to exempt them from liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
