Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 38'
Draft: 5.5'We went thru this bridge in our sailboat and is a little tight. Bridge does not open straight up. Hug the north side so your mast has enough room to clear bridge. Don't give way to anyone and be aware of the current. It pushed us toward middle and scared me. When we came out I made sure to have plenty of speed to fight any effect of current. Slack tide is best but sometimes you don't have that option.
