    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widebeam

    From Rickmansworth, a boat may travel north up the Grand Union, but at Leighton Buzzard there is a lock that is only 3.81 metres (12 ft 6 in) wide. So any boat with a beam of 4.22 metres (13 ft 10 in) able to navigate canals and rivers in and around London will be unable able to proceed further north.

  3. Narrowboat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrowboat

    For any boat to enter a narrow lock, it must be under 7 feet (2.13 m) wide, so most narrowboats are nominally 6 feet 10 inches (2.08 m) wide. A narrowboat's maximum length is generally 72 feet (21.95 m), as anything longer will be unable to navigate much of the British canal network, because the nominal maximum length of locks is 75 feet (22.86 m).

    Different numbers of chines. The simplest type of chine construction is the single-chine "V" shape, with two flat panels joined at the keel (A). This type of hull is among the simplest to build, but they lack stability on a narrow "V" and may lack freeboard on a wide "V".

  8. Hobie Cat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobie_Cat

    The Bravo is the smallest the Hobie rotomolded catamarans at 12 ft (3.7 m) and is intended for one person but can carry two. The relatively narrow beam (4 ft 5 in (1.35 m)) compared to its 19 ft (5.8 m) mast leads to considerable heeling, or tipping of the boat compared to other catamarans. The Bravo has the distinction of being able to furl ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberg_30

    In terms of both design and construction, it is one of the more seaworthy 30 footers available on the used market in Canada. Nevertheless, the age of the Alberg 30 design translates into a boat with a narrow beam and limited interior room, and its full keel means it will not have the same pointing ability as a fin keel boat.
