Joel took a 2x4 and extended it from deck top at mast base toward dock; using level to insure 2x4 level with deck and measured between water and bottom of 2x4 = 56"
went up the mast (love atn climbers) extended dummy end of 100' reel tape to spouse at mast base below= 44' 3" Measured from Mast top to tip of Bird spike on Windex=23" So 56" + 531" + 23" + 610"/12 = 50.83 Tried to remove windex to pick up a foot (Anemometer is 10" over mast top) but corroded in place for the moment. Know I can be tipped but it is $200 a time. IF I can apply that $400 to drinking in Bahamas so much the better. Bridge clearance today is 50.7; was 50.83 yesterday (army corps reports daily) so- If I am accurate I can currently make it subject to my windex being abused. ($45 windex v. $200 tipping fee). If the anemometer, masthead light and masthead itself are at risk the economic equation shifts. While I have carpentered this by 'measuring twice' it just is about a foot shorter than what I was expecting based on C&C specs. SO was trying to confirm if anyone else had seen that sort of variance to increase my comfort level with my measurements. Probably being too type A.
