[C320-list] mast height above water

[Louis Spitz]

Can anyone tell me the bridge clearance (with windex) of the 320?
Thanks

I use 50 ft from the water as my height for bridge clearance.

My previous C320, #808, was reported by Catalina to be 47 feet, 7 inches
from the waterline to the masthead. I don't believe that this would include
the VHF antenna or any wind instruments above the masthead, assuming a
literal interpretation of the word "masthead."

I have a MKII version of the C320 and had it measured when I had the
standing rigging inspected. I would consider the following within an inch
or two.

Top of mast to cabin top 42’ 6”
Antenna above top of mast 3’ 0”
Water to top of cabin 5’ 0”
Total air draft = 50’ 6”

I use 52’ 0” to be on the safe side.

I’ve always used 50’ as my clearance height for bridges. Plus, remember that the clearance height shown on charts is measured at Mean High Water, so if you are passing under at anything other than a high tide, you have a few more feet.
