- This is a pinch point — A pinch point is somewhere on a
waterway that restricts the passage of boats that can otherwise pass
freely along the waterway. For example, a narrow or low bridge or
tunnel or a short lock. For most pinch points a single set of
dimensions is all that is needed, but for some (for example very
sharp bends) multiple sets of dimensions may be needed (a narrow boat
may be able to get round a turn that a broad boat of similar length
can't). The normal dimensions for boats on this waterway are X feet
long, X feet and X inches wide, X feet and X inches high and X feet
and X inches deep.
- New pinch point — Enter a value for each dimension where this pinch point is less than the normal dimensions of the waterway. Leave other dimensions empty or with a value of zero.
