Boat Bed Is It Safe To Moor A Narrow Boat On A Tidal Canal Where It Will Touch He River Bed At Low Tide?

Is it safe to moor a narrow boat on a tidal canal where it will touch he river bed at low tide? - boat bed

I'm trying to life on a ship in a dock tidal river near my home is the water depth is about 4 feet at high tide and the bottom of the river gravel and sand, and experience is the level that I would narrow boat, but I am sure it will be good when low tide is? I need to ask in a kind of support if it is not in the bed of the river? or there is a large sand bar on the beach where the ships of the other? any advice would be great! Thank you very much

Historically, the boats moored to the docks at times to trade in the river would be on the ground at low tide. These ships at full load is very low freeboard, and the sailors took care of three or four strings around and under the boat to spend. When the flood of boat appears channels could be blocked this way and that worked to break the suction.
With a freeboard of Kahn apartment is much more important and should not be a problem, provided that the boat is not left unattended for long periods, since the cables are of little value without anyone attending them.

If the boat has a narrow, flat floor and bottom of the river is fairly flat, then yes. When the bed is steep or float a motorboat, maybe not in terms of angle and the rate of recovery in the background.

The answer is yes General description of a ship "channel" which is usually flat bottom and a narrow floor-level / bed of a river, the sand is.

Imagine for a moment (different) When a boat moors of shingles a day and select a hole in the ground Oggle Oggle,,,, not nice.
Well, why do you think that other ships are bound "to the sand bank? is on the ship "bum smooth" (less chance of holes) Get the picture?
