Yeah, I thought a tape was rather obvious ...He doesn't have a measuring tape? The "P" (the mainsail hoist) is 25 feet. Plus, add measurement from boom to deck to waterline and add 6 inches for the masthead. Might be close... better check the tides. http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_ID=95
Damn good idea! Even though I know it... There's always an element of doubt when I pass under the West Mission Bay bridge and look at the tide marker... "hmm, my boat's 36, or was it 38...Marker's at 42 and the tide's coming in.... shit.. can't remember for sure." heh, heh.Yeah, I thought a tape was rather obvious ...
