Living the Dream Ditch Crawling Narrowboat T-Shirt | Funny Canal Boat Shirt | Personalised Canal Gift | Fat Boris Canal Collection
"Ditch crawling" is the affectionate term boaters use for slow-paced cruising on shallow, narrow canals, which historically resemble ditches. It involves navigating a 57 ft or 70 ft steel narrowboat through tight spaces, managing vegetation, and dealing with shallow drafts that frequently cause the boat to bump the bottom
- The 4 mph Limit: You must keep to the maximum speed limit, which is usually much slower in practice to avoid creating a destructive wash that erodes the banks.
- Handling Reeds and Mud: Canals tend to silt up near the edges, especially on non-dredged stretches like the Somerset Levels. Steer down the middle of the channel, but be prepared to shift into neutral and glide over thick weed beds when passing oncoming traffic.
- Braking and Turning: Narrowboats do not have brakes. When you put the engine into reverse, you lose the ability to steer. Anticipate your stops and manoeuvre well in advance.
- The "Rosie and Jim" Pace: Embrace the slow, relaxed pace and ensure your crew is ready to handle locks and moorings.
