Chuck,
Take a look and listen at your boat. My mast ends a good 2 feet below the waterline at the cabin sole in my estimation. Try sounding the sides of your boat from the inside, you should hear a tonal difference at the waterline.

Since the mast step shoe is at cabin sole level on the transverse grid structure, it’s well above the keel sump and associated bolts. That said, it may still be below the waterline, but not much. I think I’ll take some actual measurements once she is out of the water this fall.

Assuming the step is at the waterline and your instruments are under 2’ above the stick, 64’ is safe. That’s the number I go with. The Sakonnet River Bridge in Tiverton, RI claims 64’ at high tide, and we haven’t nicked it yet. Although I will say that first time made me a bit nervous. Hope that helps.

This method should yield a result which is a couple inches longer than the actual draft. Dennis C.

I'm thinking our air draft is 63 feet, approx, but don't want to hit our newly purchased boat's mast! Anyone know how I can get a more exact measure - did the halyard thing, but measuring from mast to waterline seems impossibly imprecise???? Thanks, Joyce L.
