>>1044802>how do boats not get scraped to shit? or the metal barricade for that matter?? >Looks like just a couple inches of clearance on either sideThere's a wooden rail inside the metal; you can see the wood on the path side in the picture. Also, the majority of boats going through are wooden, and the water being displaced through the gap helps too.
But yes, it's a very narrow fit. With a decent pub at the north end.
