Mast Height Pearson 33-2

[irish1969]

Hello,

Does anybody know the Mast Height for a 1987 Pearson 33-2?  The reason I ask is because I have to clear a 51 foot bridge in a couple of weeks and I want to know if I can make it under without destroying the boat.  Also, when measuring mast height, does it include the hull above the water line?  

Thanks in advance.

[Michael Robinson]

Best I can tell is that it's about 48'. I'd suggest that you hoist a
tape to the masthead and measure down to the waterline. You might also
want to do under the bridge at low tide.

Good luck,

Michael Robinson

I found a place that say I= 43.5 so you are very close if you add 6 feet to I. Do you have an anntena. Time to fill the water tanks fulll!!

I don't have first hand knowledge.  I did a quick internet search on "bridge clearance Pearson 33-2" and found several entries that said you need 47'-6".  Everyone knows the internet is always right ;-)

You just need a couple water balls:

masthead height = 44.6'
I found the data in the pdf file at this address

Wrong boat.  That's for the P32.  There is no entry for mast height for the 33-2.   The I is listed as 43.5.   Thats probably halyard sheave to deck but I have seen various definitions of I.  I would measure as Mike R suggested.   Hoist a tape and measure to the water.  Add 4 feet for antennas.  You will probably just squeek by but I wouldn't try without a measurement.

Not sure if this helps or not, but the "I" for the 10M (also 33 LOA) is 44.0 (standard mast).

 

I know this must be true because I read it on Dan's 10M site.

 

This was also on his site:

 

Mast height from water = 48' (TM 50')
Top of antena from water = 52'

 

Again, not sure if this helps.

 

Related to the "ball bag" issue, I've heard of a very enterprising individual at a bascule bridge in Florida that will strap 55 gallon drums to one side deck (port or starboard, depending on which direction you are heading), pumps them full of water so the boat heels over, then drains them once the boat has passed under the bascule bridge to the other side.

 

All for a tidy sum I'm sure.

Well, looks like I'm going to have to measure it with a tape because there is too much conflicting information....or I could go the loooong way.

I found the same info, but don't know how reliable it is.

I have to go under at high tide so it's a little too close for comfort it doesn't look like the antenna will clear it.    What site did you get that information from?
