JimG Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 This is ridiculous. If the markers aren't accurate then hirers could be missing out on entire sections of the broads.Example: earlier this year i hired a boat with 8ft 4in airdraft. If the adjusted height makers read 8ft 3in when the actual clearance was 8ft 6in, i wouldn't attempt it. Meaning i miss out on everything under the bridge. If the height marker was accurate i WOULD go under. Accurate and legible markers is the only way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I may be wrong, but i think ALL these bridge strikes are done on high top boats. What i find irritating is when they report that "this recent spate of colisions is very worrying to the fleet operators who have these boats". Well, surely if they put these boats in their fleets, they know the risks, and can`t complain when they happen?.Yet again, back comes my same arguement, if the fleet operators did`nt introduce these boats tinto thier fleets, theses incidents would`nt happen. Then they would`nt be able to put the blame on hirers. Also, lowliners would be able to navigate all bridges (except for PH) at 90-95% of the time, irrespective of tidal direction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are pictures on Facebook today of Pacific Diamond giving Beccles Bridge a little "kiss" today before backing away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warp Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Wroxham has suspended ballsI know teachers can usually tell a lot by the parents but I really think suspending kids before they're even conceived is going too far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Perhaps the most useful attributes for passing under bridges are eyes and a brain, and the ability & desire to use them! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
