OK, how high off the water is the top of my mast on a 86 Std rig swing keel? I have a bridge and power lines between me and a good restaurant.

If in doubt about clearing the bridge you can always hang the first mate out at the end of the fully deployed boom <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>and heel the boat!

Thanks for the advice to all but Derek, the 1st mate sees no humor in your reply (but I do).

BC - tell her that I was LMDFHO when I wrote it! (Actually, I knew a sailor who did this once - and he stayed married to her for another 30 years until he died).

Hi,
I tried to reply with an image, but I'm not as smart as the computer and couldn't convince it to do it.
I have a couple of ways to measure the height.
First, get or make an inclinometer. Something like is used to measure the height of model rocket

Or, simpler than that, just to Bill Holcombs Spec page in Tech tips and read what it says, 33.0ft. from mast head to waterline then add 1 foot for my light and windvane. 34.0 ft. Well under the power lines but not the bridge. May have to try Dereks idea.

...or as Dickens might have said: "Brigde 33 feet, mast 29 feet 11 and 3/4, result happiness. Bridge 33 feet, mast 33 feet and 1/4, result misery."
