When my mast was removed this past Spring, they charged me by the foot, and measured 62’. Assuming the step is at the waterline and your instruments are under 2’ above the stick, 64’ is safe. That’s the number I go with. The Sakonnet River Bridge in Tiverton, RI claims 64’ at high tide, and we haven’t nicked it yet. Although I will say that first time made me a bit nervous. Hope that helps.
