The J-42 rig specs show the air draft as 56’6’’.  I HAVE ATTACHED THE RIG SPECS AND CARBON MAST SPECS.

thanks so much Paul.   We're planning on visiting Erie Pa next week and there is a bridge we have to get under that is specified at 67' clearance.   Seems we will be fine.

Our J-42  CF mast with VHF antenna, Bird strict/lightening suppressor, large size Windex, and B&G wind instrument cluster measures exactly 60 feet vertical from lowest waterline to tip level.

I just purchased a J42. She was on Lake Erie and we shipped her to Annapolis.

When we stepped the mast and put the rig together, we discovered a crack in the gooseneck.

Does anyone know:
1. A way to source a replacement?
2. Have the specs or drawing for one so I can build one on a CNC machine. 

Thank you for any suggestions or assistance.

Patrick: I would suggest a separate thread on this topic. Just address it to "j4x-owne...@googlegroups.com", or use the J/4x group page.
