If the lock was properly designed and still had all its paddles it would be no problem. The Grand Canal is so built. We got out of a lock with one top gate paddle going flat out (jammed up) and did not have to resort to the TNC Portopaddle. It still emptied a lot quicker than a GU lock. They have a much better attitude to health and safety in Ireland! http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/T07_Imag/07_04_07/Img_3047.jpg http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/T07_Imag/07_04_07/Img_3057.jpg -- Neil Arlidge - NB Earnest - Shannon Reg 7410...not here anymore...
