For shipping on US highways: does anyone have an actual height measurement from bottom of keel to top of coachroof? Ours is the 400e with iron keel. Specs say 6'8" draft for iron keel. Sailboatdata.com does not provide this metric. We are on west coast trying to arrange shipping from east coast and need to provide measurements to shipper. Hoping to stay under 13'6" height on trailer.

Do you know the length of the mast and the air draft? The difference should be the height of mast base to waterline. I'm thinking it will be tight to stay under your quoted limit. ------------- H458 #159 Primal Mediterranean cruising |

Thank you for that! We did the in the water mast height measurement and do have a mast measurement. You're right. It IS close. Looks like 13'6" EXACTLY. |

actual numbers look like under 13'. Fingers crossed. Won't know until we can get to the boat in person, but this gives a little more peace of mind while making arrangements with shippers. |

FWI. I’m not sure you guys are accounting for trailer bed height. A typical step bed trailer of the type that is used for this transport is 3 feet. This only allows about 10.5 feet of cargo height for 13.5 bridge clearance. ------------- Leon / ARCADIA 2018 Hanse 588 Sag Harbor, NY |

Hmmm. The mast is much longer than the boat and can't be below on the trailer. It will add 1-2 feet additional height when laying on top...
