Westerly Discus

[Guest]

Can anybody tell me the height of the mast on a sloop rigged Westerly Discus. I have to negotiate the bridge at La Trinite sur mer with a clearance at MHWS of 11m. Last time we had the mast down it overhung at both ends making me think it's at least 12m plus another metre for deck height above sealevel. Any more accurate info to help me plan my passage much appreciated.

Hi Chris,

According to the spring 2001 Westerly owners association Newsletter the Mast LENGTH of the Sloop W33 was 12.64 m. And from what I've read in that article the Discus is the MKII W33.

Check out the Associations website @ http://www.westerly-owners.co.uk/ and you'll find a link to the Westerly e-mail list where you might get a more definitive answer than mine,

Good Sailing,

Jason.
