I tried it in France, but the canal was about 10' wider than the boat.
It was on purpose though, we were turning around, and was successful...
I didn't feel like trying to reverse a canal boat 1/2 a mile back... and
my brother said "you can't turn around here!"... hold my wine...

wider than the boat, if you have a crab angle due to wind eventually
you are wider than the canal is.

I have been following the story. I feel kind of bad for master.
Sure we all run aground at some point but not only grounding the ship
but jamming it diagonally across the Canal. Not something I would
want on my resume.
