Yup.......None of our boats have had a lower enough airdraft.

Potter has an average of about 6'6" height clearance and we are around 11' with the navigation mast lowered

To be honest not much other than day boats, a few of the hire craft (requiring the Bridge Pilot to take hire boats through) and de masted sail boats are about all what gets up to the Northern most reaches of the Broads

Wroxham Bridge, Wayford Bridge and Beccles Bridge are also off limits to us !
Still..........A positive with our airdraft is we can actually see over the reeds on the river banks
