Hi all. I should be able to get my TI beneath a bridge with a 6.4m clearance shouldn't I?

Easily! I regularly take my TI (with 6 added inches of spinnaker mast-topper plus Windward wind arrow) beneath a bridge with clearance stated as 6.0 metres at HWS (high water spring tide). Mind you, from below it looks scarily close, but in reality there is plenty of room.

6.4 metres is a no-brainer.

Thanks Tony. I think we are planning to stooge around Middle Harbour/Spit Bridge on the weekend and heading under Spit Bridge.
