We are currently doing the GreatLoop, and, like all of us in this general area not yet on the Oswego canal there is a Bridge across the canal near lock number one that may be out of service for an additional three weeks keeping us from continuing on that route during that period. We have two other options one being the Erie and another being Lake Champlain. The latter takes us further north than we care to go. It’s possible we do the Erie canal all the way and still come north to do the things in Canada we had originally planned. Air draft is our challenge on the Erie however.
And a prior owner had cut our mast down and we were able to determine with that modification. We have been good at any bridges 19 feet or higher.
Would any of you, Grand Banks ownerspossibly know what Maximum air draft we could achieve by of course lowering our mast, but also lowering our Bimini tops on the fly bridge?
