Back in the day we would run aground at low tide and the antenna whacked the bridge at high tide.
I am assuming the 40 won’t be going under that bridge.

I have hit the bridge with my VHF antenna going through the canal. No harm done, but that would have been a bad time for a big wake! Quite a sight to see the antenna going ting-ting-ting across the girders up there. There is a bridge in Florida on the Okeechobee canal that is a bit low and I think the marina near there will come out and hook a big weight to your halyard to heel the boat over to get under it.

I've tested it here on the Bay many times and believe the Brochure. On the other end, the quoted Bridge clearance is 60'4"' per the brochure. I've never tested it , but believe it is correct, not allowing for the Windex or the Wind direction/Wind speed Instrument. The instrumentation may add another 12 -14'". So, if you believe the corps of Engineers the 65" along most of the ICW will be ok! Of course, near Miami and on the Okeechobee Waterway where, it's often stated to be 55" , will be a problem!!!!! Just my .02 cents worth Don Wagner C&C41CB Der Baron on the West River of the Chesapeake Bay d to the list to help with the costs involved.
