BroadAmbition Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 JT took 'B.A' through Wroxham bridge last weekend. The gauge on the downstream side of the bridge stated 6ft3" airdraft. 'B.A' in normal bridge passage configuration is 6ft3" so she should have been scraping through. He reported 2" clearance Griff 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karizma Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 We are moored at Wroxham broad waiting for low tide (abt 8pm) to see if we can get under - we need 6' 7", so that extra 2" might come in handy ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 and check the fenders are up They most certainly will be, Bro being ex RN like myself, mind you in his RN days he didn't have much practise with fenders being on 'Bombers' Griff 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Friday 29th March Bro’ and crew took ‘B.A’ through Wroxham Bridge with height board stating 6ft2” That’s unusually brave of our Young Un. He had to remove mast completely rather than just folding it down. The rolled back canopy brushed the bridge and windscreen only had 1” to spare. The return journey won’t be as close to HW as he stated he won’t be doing that again in a hurry They went into the Kings Head now recently refurbished and are impressed Griff 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The service was a little chaotic but the staff were pleasant and were trying hard.

BroadAmbition Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Bro' brought 'B.A' back through Wroxham bridge on Sunday this time at 6ft3" stating once again it was far too close, still - needs must and all that Sunday overnight at Womack Water, Monday forenoon Sutton for pump out and diesel, where Purdey abandoned Dungraftin and stowed away onboard 'B.A' in full view for the river trip back to wetshed where the crew departed for home The 12/240v system issue we thought we had cured last month reared its ugly head once again on Sunday evening.
