Field notes
Visitors can select a vessel preset or enter its dimensions, then set endpoints and trip pace. The page describes fit checks against published length and beam limits, while noting that the Nene data is a typical lock size rather than measurements for every lock. Along-route services are included when they fall within 150 metres; tidal passages are handled separately from ordinary cruising-time estimates.
