Can anyone tell me for sure what the factory mast height is for a 2002 Beneteau 331 with centerboard?
2002 Beneteau 331 Mast Height

Here's a web site that has all the data for previous Beneteaus:

I would download the manual from the site and get the data from there as the spec quoted below the picture show the mast a little shorter above the water than my 311 and that does not seem right.

No one will tell you FOR SURE. The factory does not like to even mention air draft numbers for liability reasons. Fresh or salt water, tides, boat loading, masttop gear, etc will all affect your number, and no one wants to take the responsibility of telling you that you will be OK.
Beneteau 331 Centerboard Mast Height
Thank you. The dimension for clearance is given as 45.28 feet, which is consistent with the information provided by the present owner. It is critical to me for using the Okechobee Waterway to and from the Bahamas. From a bitter experience in the '90's: When the height of the mast is not given in the listing or the survey, dig deeper than the broker's representation and insist on an actual measurement. Would have saved me close to $10,000 and forced an ocean voyage versus a planned trip up the Intercoastal Waterway.
