BRe air draft

[PeterDT]

Does anybody know what the airdraft is of the Bay Raider Expedition?
I expect to sail under an number of bridges this weekend. It would be a pity if one of them proves to be too low.
This information cannot be found on the SB website.

I don't know either but as the mast is as long as the boat + bowsprit and the tabernacle is well above the water I would guess at 9 metres and would make ready to dip my mast in the same fashion as I used to on my wayfarer for any obstruction with an airdraft less than 10 metres; and be very careful indeed  for phone and electricity lines! I would be reluctant to 'dip' my mast if I didn't have the winch that comes with the mark 2 version and I must admit that I haven't tried it yet. Rory C

My BRe manual states the maximum air draft as being "8.2m in the light craft condition".

Is there a BRe manual? If so, where is it - I'd find it really helpful? The BR20 manual doesn't quite fit the bill.

The manual came with the boat describing classification and other informAtion.

David, thank you for the correct air draft.
I do not have a BRe manual, so if there is one i would appreciate a copy (PDF).
I did not hit any bridges but the mast still came tumbling down. But that is a different story...

Perhaps as Matt developes his manual database he will publish them on their website.
