Hi again,
In my reply I mentioned a database. Sorry, I though I
was in another group.
I copied the entries:
French Canals; What extra equip. do I really need to
navigate the French Canals?
4 large fenders (consider ball fenders), 1 for each
"corner". 2 x 30mt. 12mm warps. 2 x 15mt 16mm warps.
Side tarps under fenders (to protect
paintwork/gelcoat). 6 x Sinking "barge" rollers, gang
plank, bicycles, 2 Rond anchors and a sound marriage
are useful.
French Canals; How many crew do I need to navigate the
French Canals? Provided the helmsman/woman can reach
the stern cleats quickly, 2 people (total) can manage
quite well. 3 makes the job very easy.
French Canals; What is the maximum draft for
navigating the French Canals? Variable but generally
1.8mt. max. & 1.6mt. on the Midi. unless there is a
drought.
French Canals; What is the maximun Air Draft for the
French Canals? 3.5 mt. Variable. Check for flood
conditions.
French Canals; What is the maximum beam for
navigating the French Canals? 5mt. For most routes.

Hope this helps,
