If I get the math you are going from two through hulls to one - I did the same and removed my overboard discharge at the same time. Why not eliminate the unused holes? It needs to be done properly for sure but it’s not difficult. Some pics here: http://cncwindstar.blogspot.com/2016/08/rep

Randy, Touche's speed transducer is located under the step for the V-berth forward of the keel. Really. I have to reach through an inspection port to remove it. I wanted it well forward in undisturbed flow. Personally, I'd drill a new hole forward of the keel and fill the old one. 4200 or 5200

Have you ever gone into Cape May? 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

I did the entire ICW from Norfolk to Ft Lauderdale in November. Some of the supposed 65’ bridges only showed 62’ on the gauges. The one in C May is a 55’ clearance at high tide, I believe. That canal is a nice short cut rather than going out and around the cape. In case anyone is curious, I take

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. Joe Coquina From: Joel Aronson via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2021 8:51 AM To: Stus-List Cc: Joel Aronson Subject: Stus-List Re

Hey Andrew, I checked my old NOAA chart and you're right. My bad. 55' is listed on NOAA charts. Quick google searches showed 50' and 52.5'. That sounded reasonable if Joe's VHF antenna hit the bridge. Chuck > On 03/23/2021 10:23 AM Andrew Burton via CnC-List > wrote: > >

I take the NOAA charted clearances with more than a grain of salt. We tend to think of bridges as wonderful fixed construction projects. However, many older bridges may have subsided and have less than stated clearances. I tend to trust the clearance boards but add a safety factor. FYI, some br

The charts only show air draft for the center span of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (160 feet or so). There are no clearance boards on the other spans. Its a PIA if there is a lot of commercial traffic because everyone uses the center span. I probably could fit under 10 or more spans, but I'll only
