Do NOT sail under the bridge, the wind shadow of the bridge will pop the boat upright at exactly the wrong time. Having a couple people sit on the boom and swing it out would be a better way. There is a marina on Lake Okeechobee that provides this service for boats that can’t clear the bridge. If memory serves, they fill plastic water barrels on one side of the boat and send one guy up the mast to push the mast over if it gets close to the bridge.
Joe Coquina – I hit the Cape May Canal Bridge with the VHF antenna, it was flexible enough to not come to any harm. It was scary to look at though!!!!!!!!
