How High?

[Gary Powers]

What is the mast height on the standard 30 Catalina? It never seems to be listed anywhere.

Clearance, or Length of Mast?

I have a copy of an old article that lists the bridge clearance of the standard rig at 47'11". That measurement is going to vary depending on how low or high the boat is riding in the water.

mast is about 40 feet long

If you are thinking of going under bridges add the height of you hull and any antennas at the top. It also weighs about 200 pounds.

"I" = 41'

The official "I" measuremant is 41 feet, which is the height of the mast above the deck. The tall rig is 43 feet. As Richard said, don't forget about the stuff on top.
