Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 42'
Draft: 4.1'The Alliance II schooner/tourist boat goes under this bridge daily, and their mast height is 72 feet. I have taken my Lagoon 42 under the bridge with a 68 foot mast height plus antennas on top with no issue. Pretty sure the 60 feet closed is not correct for the main opening near the control section.

<p>NOAA charts and other engineering reports list the vertical clearance in the navigation channel at 60 feet.</p>
