If I remember correctly, clearance from mid-span is about 40' at mean low tide.

My chart indicates that the 2 closest bridges from the entrance to Mission Bay, have a 38ft clearance at center span during low tide. The northeastern bridge has a 31ft clearance.
Does the :macm: require 36ft of clearance? 6ft for the boat, and 30 ft for the mast? If this is the case , the farthest (northeastern) bridge would be impossible, and for the 2 others you would have to watch your tides carefuly.
I believe we have 4-5ft tides. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The 26M is 35' from the water to the top of the mast.

You would have to be at the bridge at low tide, go under at mid-span and hope to hull no powerboat flies by and creates any kind of wake.

Pretty much blackjack odds at Vegas.

I think the best bet would be the mast raising system. It is simple enough and one person can handle it.
