What is the height about the waterline to the top of the Beneteau 41 masthead? I have found several different answers. I have measured something like 62'6". I've seen 61'3". Anyone have something from Beneteau or from your own B41 that you feel is accurately measured?

The very safest measurement you can make is the one on YOUR boat. Whatever anyone else has is simply NOT on your boat. Is it worth possible damage going under a bridge to be wrong about this?
I know what my factory measurements are, and have checked a few different ways, and still add five feet!

Just looking for some correlation of other B41 mast height. As I said, mine is 62'6" (+/- 3")...but I intend to measure it again with some close-to zero stretch line. I think the plastic coated whipping line works good....and inexpensive.
I've got a 65' bridge to get under. I also have about 3' of antenna above the masthead.

I'm with Stu on this one. You need to measure your boat, at cruising load, to get your mast height.
Bene specs are for an empty boat in salt water. "My" specs, on fresh water and loaded for cruising, are totally different then what they list.
