Yesterday morning my friend was moored at Wroxham enjoying his breakfast and watched a 7ft tall boat try to get under a 6ft bridge. Crash, bang, wallop.

Amazed the technique is to ram it with a pointed prow from behind to release it. Bit of extra weight from a few bodies transferred from the 'pushing' boat onto the stuck one possibly?

Extra weight is the way that it is usually done but the water was rising, the boat was almost through and a speedy result was needed to avoid further damage to the bridge (more costly to repair than the boat it seems!).
