A Lock for sailboaters

[Gofirstclass]

When sailboats pass beneath a bridge it always causes the bridge to raise which slows traffic. I figure everyone already hates blow boaters without all the mess of having to stop traffic. That just makes more people get pi$$ed at blow boaters.

Here's a solution to that problem....

Cool idea....

They just need to make it wider for catamarans. Also, you would need to have serious dredging because usually there isn't much water under bridges.

Sorry Guys it aint go'na happen. Cheaper to raise a bridge than dredge and power concrete and add supper hydraulics with gates and pumps. Beside, blow boat owners will go ballistic. Everyone knows they have all rights on the water.:smt009 (At least in their minds)

The amount of energy required to operate this would make it too expensive to actually run.
