Re: Mast Ht

36 feet seems too long...  I was just looking up rig dimensions and the "I" value was given as 31.5 feet.  Since this is from the masthead to the plane of the deck (where the deck would be if the cabin wasn't there) the mast should be shorter than 31.5 ft.  Mine is in the barn next town over or I'd get you an exact measurement...

Does anyone else come across the same/different rig dimensions?
I=31.5   J=10.3    P=28.0    E=10.0

Re: Mast Ht

I am not aware of a tall rig for a Contessa 26 either.  I did recently measure my mast when it was off my boat for reconditioning.  The spar itself...with no top or bottom fittings included...came to exactly 31 feet.  My boat is a 1986 model JJT (#342) with a Cinkel mast.

Re: Mast Ht

The mast when stepped is less than 36 feet because i have traveled under a 36 ft bridge multiple times in my contessa(gave me a scare the first few times).
