Does  anyone know offhand the height from the waterline to the top of  the
mast?  I see on the GBI site that the avg. freeboard is 3' and the  mast is
26'.  No more than another foot I'd guess from gunwale to top  of cabin?

It looks like I'll have a 30' drawbridge to squeek under on  the Ship Canal
near my new temporary mooring in  Seattle.

Thanks,

Dave B.

Dave - Your numbers are consistent with our experience in Avalon, NJ  - we 
sail under a fixed bridge with 33 feet of clearance.  Looking up  it is hard to 
tell the exact amount of our clearance, but I estimate a couple of  feet (and 
we have a windvane atop the mast) - so your 30 feet of clearance will  be real 
tight.
