I am thinking about heading south on the Oswego canal this spring. Can I get help locking thru since my wife probably won't be able to help.
He just needs to get ahold of Rodger on Yacht Forums.
As others have stated depends on vessel, nice 19' center console is easy to do yourself, express style need two, flybridge type best to have three, although two works. And there is no help at the locks, most have weighted lines to hang unto fore and aft.
Sorry but I must disagree on the 3person requirement. It's not needed .
The Welland Canal System is the only one that requires 3 and that is for upbound only. there'd be a lot of cruisers in a world of hurt if you needed 3 people to clear a lock.
