MorrisonsInformation in 2004 was that it was possible to wind a 60ft boat here.
By 2015, the aqueduct had been fenced off and the growth of reeds and associated silting means that C&RT advise a limit of 45ft. We reversed a 58ft back as a turn was completely impractical.

Wikipedia has a page about Leek
The leek is a vegetable, a cultivar of Allium ampeloprasum, the broadleaf wild leek. The edible part of the plant is a bundle of leaf sheaths that is sometimes erroneously called a stem or stalk. The genus Allium also contains the onion, garlic, shallot, scallion, chive, and Chinese onion. Three closely related vegetables, elephant garlic, kurrat and Persian leek or tareh, are also cultivars of A. ampeloprasum, although different in their uses as food.
