Hi, Thanks for the response but I still do not think it adds up(to me anyway). If you take Mon 14th March .org site says 0.89 and BA say 0.00. Is that not a difference of nearly 3ft?

Ok Thanks. That makes a bit more sense but I thought they would have been both using the same data just with different reference points, obviously not as simple as that.

Hi Jon, For our boat heights use the BA chart, it does give the low water levels and that is what we use to pass through Yarmouth.

Regards Alan Yes, that is what I use along with http://www.eastportuk.co.uk/Tidal_Chart.aspx This gives a good indication if the predictions are going to plan as well. Only any good though just before setting off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExUserGone Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I've just been talking to breydon bridge about haven clearance for easter weekend, they recon 2.6m headroom at HW on a 2.4m tide with 1.7m range, so using the rule of 12th's you should get 11' under from 3 hours after HW to 3 hours before HW, ok there's 2 draining rivers so the 12th's rule doesn't fully work as it does on open water so add 1/2 hour for a bit of extra safety, tides can easily be 1/2 hour late or early with the weather and the predicted height can be screwed up by weather too so that can mess you up as well. I hope to get snowbird under an hour after HW with radar arch down with a bit of room to spare for a good play and shakedown run on the saturday of easter weekend if the weather is good, and if nothing falls do it again on the sunday. If you have easter plans don't forget bst will throw sat and sun times an hour apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Sadly we let this boat go as talking with the seller he admitted that the next realistic time we can get the boat out the system is June.. and on a lorry it wouldn't offer a respectable safety margin as it would be about 16feet high. Plus we want a boat we can get through the french canals and if we are having problems with the broads I suspect this would rule the french canals out. The boat we brought in the end is thankfully seaward side of any bridges and everything will collapse to give only 9ft perfect. Grace hopefully I'll do "An adventures of .." Although this was still an interesting discussion and hopefully has helped others. I'm sure we will bring our new boat to the broads one day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't completed yet so don't want to count my chickens though (But it should all happen). She's being surveyed tomorrow.. Sea trial is Saturday (all being well), take her over easter weekend/weekend after depending on funds clearing. 3 minutes ago, Gracie said: "Grace hopefully I'll do an 'Adventures of'"......

Casperarbroath2001 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Hi. I have a yacht of 46ft long with an aircraft of 63 feet. Where could I enter the Norfolk Broads and how far inland could I get? I would like to look this up on Google Maps 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Hmmm, If you enter at Oulton Broad, then your free on the Waveney upriver to Beccles and downriver to St Olaves. Entering via Gt Yarmouth, Breydon up then up river to St Olaves and up river on the Yare to Postwick viaduct which will stop you getting into Norwich. So plenty to go at Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 You could get up to Brundall. It would require you to enter at Great Yarmouth and you would need 3 bridge openings. Sorry forgot Reedham...4 bridge openings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 How much is hanging below the waterline to balance that 63ft mast? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 For yarmouth entry you need to book passage and bridge lifts 24 hours ahead and pay £20 to peel ports. As an aside how is ludham bridge headroom doing? I'm out for the fortnight and not sure if we'll make it out of the broads yet so may briefly venture north. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
