We measured about 36' from deck to sheave (loose measurement, willing to 
be a bit long for margin of safety on clearance).  I'll gladly take 35' 
as the "official" number.

But the deck is also about 5 ft off the water, so clearance is more than 
35 ft.  The original question in the thread was "can I clear a 35 ft 
bridge?"

To that, I say a resounding "No."  At least not at high water, and you 
had better have a 6+ ft tide to help you out.

Or try the old "heel her over" trick, but...if it's an opening bridge, 
why not just request an opening?
