26M Trailered Mast Height?

Post by FAAbaddog »

All,

When a 2011 26M is on the aluminum trailer, how tall is the end of the mast (stern) that sits on the mast carrier? What is the minimum bridge clearance when trailering?

Thanks!

All,

After going through a car wash today, I know it's more than 10 feet vertical.

Does anyone know the exact height?

Thanks again!

you can drive under a 10' bridge with 4-5 inches to spare.

On my 2006 :macm: the measured mast height from the ground to the very top is 9feet 8 inches. I have the standard MacGregor single axel trailer as well.

The length of mast overhanging the carrier is right about four feet. I'll get an exact measure next time I'm at the boat.
