The height restriction of a boat on the Lee, due to low bridges, means that a boat that can cruise on the Lee ...
The key distinguishing feature of a narrowboat is its width, which must be less than 7 feet (2.13 m) to navigate British narrow canals. Some old boats are very close to this limit (often built 7 feet 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches or 2.17 metres or slightly wider), and can have trouble using certain narrow locks whose width has been reduced over time because of subsidence.
Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Dimension "b" is the beam at waterline.. The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point. The maximum beam (B MAX) is the distance between planes passing through the outer sides of the ship, beam of the hull (B H) only includes permanently fixed parts of the hull, and beam at waterline (B WL) is the maximum width where the ...

Using sheet materials in boat construction is cheap and simple, but whereas these sheet materials are flexible longitudinally, they tend to be rigid vertically. Examples of steel vessels with hard chines include narrowboats and widebeams ; examples of plywood vessels with hard chines include sailing dinghies such as the single-chined Graduate ...
[1] [2] It has been generally accepted by naval architects and industry executives that superyachts range from 37 m (≈120 ft) to 60 m (≈200 ft), while those over 60 m are known as megayachts and boats over 90 m (≈300 ft) have been referred to as giga-yachts.
