C-30 mast heights

[Steve W]

I'm interested in buying a Catalina 30 to replace my 1986 Newport 28MKII. Main reason is more room, bigger engine, maybe a walk-thru transom and better galley. Looking at boat listings, the mast heights are not consistent, if they are even shown. We want to be able to get under a 45' bridge and I have a sailing buddy that has sailed two different C30's under that bridge, but he can't remember the year or if they were tall or standard rigs, etc. Thanks in advance.Steve

Cat 30 measurements

the "I" measurement for standard rig Cat 30 is 41.0 feet. That is the measurement from the top of the mast to the deck. From the deck to the water I don't know, maybe 3 to 3.5 feet? For future reference, the rig measurements for just about any boat ever made are at Sailrite.com, custom sail kits.
