Can anyone tell me the height above the waterline of the top of the mast of a CD-31?
I think it's somewhere around 47-48' but can't find anything definitive.
There was a boat at our marina that apparently tried to go under a bridge that was too low. Didn't help the mast much.

Re: Mast height of a CD-31?
The mast is 46' long but I don't know exactly how far below the waterline the mast step is. My educated guess is 1'. I would not attempt to pass under a bridge with less than 47' "air draft".

Don't forget to add for any equipment on top of the mast.

And check the tide table, if that's an issue where you are. The high you experience might not be the mean that's on the chart.tjr818 wrote:Don't forget to add for any equipment on top of the mast.
