A Pig Stick! That is the best suggestion yet.

Subject: Stus-List Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: CnC44 Mast Height for Bridge Clearance I taped a long stick onto Touche's main halyard. I taped a 100 foot tape to the top of the stick. I hauled the stick up and adjusted the hoist until the tape was even with the bird spike on my Windex. Then I swung the tape to the water. ~50 feet. Touche's VHF antenna is another couple feet. -- Dennis C.

I ran a tape up the mast using the main halyard, added the measured distance from the base of the mast to the waterline, and added five feet to allow for the distance from the top of the halyard to the top of the antenna in order to give me an accurate measurement.
