[PUP] Getting to the St. Lawrence Seaway

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

Hi Arild,
 
Champlain Canal is 12' depth but as little as 9' in places - Chambly  Canal 
is OK up to 6.5' draft. But you must be 17' or under air draft  and call Lock 1 
(518-237-8566) ahead of time in  order to pass under the bridges in the 
Champlain which are otherwise 15'-6". The  Chambly is 29.5' so no worries.
 
Regards,

Milt  you may have a problem.The canals have low bridge restriction of
around 15  feet. The Lake Champlain route has too little  water draft for
your 6'. The Erie barge canal allows 9' water draft but has  lower bridges.
The tugs on that run have telescoping wheel houses  that  "duck" for the
lowest brudges, As I recall rom  my trips through the  lowest is at Illion
if I remember correctly.  How low can you get   if you pull the mast?
