We took a Fairline Brava under the bridge last summer.Our rough and ready airdraft calculator(two pieces of batten and string)gave us 13ft 4 inches to top of radar arch and we did get under.River level looked normalish with regards to "tide mark" on bridge stonework.Worth a try if not much traffic to creep up and have a look see,becomes fairly obvious very soon if you are going to get under,we did remove radar dome in order to get through.

The way it was done , was full astern , digs the back right in , then as you come under the bridge , just a blip of full ahead , dips the arch under .....
