I didn’t, despite having intended to, measure the length of my mast
before stepping. Can someone tell me what the distance is from the
water line to the top of the mast. I can do the calculation sort of
geometrically, but would also like a solid number if anyone has one.
Thanks. By the way, the “Graceful Rose” is in the water, pretty much
commissioned, and ready for action. Special thanks to Biff for the
very detailed commissioning and line/“tackle” specs.

The mast height is ~31.5 feet. I ran a measuring tape while it was
decommisioned.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve got to get under a 35 foot bridge (at
MHHW)–so with a 3 foot whip antenna I should just about make it at
anyhting less than high tide. Actually, the bridge opens if
necessary, but I prefer the idea of not having to inconvenience the
poor folks on the highway.

Comrades, Yesterday I passed under the 35 foot vertical height span, previously worried about, two times. Once at half tide, and once at high tide. No problems. I also “sailed” “Graceful Rose” in the Atlantic ocean a little east of Newburyport, MA for the first time in my, what was up until then incomplete, life. Good fun, but I have heaps to learn. Henceforth please refer to me as “Skipper”.

Skipper,
Best of the best to you as you continue to brave the deep blue sea.
Just find yourself a “Gilligan” and you’re good to go.
