Air Draft?

   Hi.

Why not measure it?

We have a 30m/100' tape measure onboard which cost less than £10 ($15) and it has paid for itself many times over by measuring accurately the required length of ropes etc.  I would suggest you attach a downhaul to the main halyard rather than trust the tape and the end fixing.

A friend used the tape to measure his mast before a trip to Holland where fixed bridges were to be encounted, he felt much better at having an 'accurate estimate'.

Regards

Mike
