My C&C 41 CB with a tall rig draws 4'11" with the board up,7' 10" with the
board down, according to the data brochure.I've tested it here on the Bay many
times and believe the Brochure.
On the other end, the quoted Bridge clearance is 60'4"' per the brochure. I've
never tested it , but believe it is correct, not allowing for the Windex or the
Wind direction/Wind speed Instrument. The instrumentation may add another 12
-14'". So, if you believe the corps of Engineers the 65" along most of the ICW
will be ok! Of course, near Miami and on the Okeechobee Waterway where, it's
often stated to be 55" , will be a problem!!!!!
Just my .02 cents worth

I'd be more worried about water draft than air draft in the ICW with a fixed
keel boat.
Andy, I know its a tough job ... Besides, too cold to sail in Newport.

I think the tall rig on the 40 is fine for the ICW. I loved that boat. She gave
me few excuses to use the engine, even in light airs if I looked at her
sideways she was doing 5 knots. And she'd point like Babe Ruth predicting a
home run. Heading home from Cuttyhunk was always lovely; we'd head down the
rhumb line for R2A with sheets just a little eased and we'd watch all the
Benecatahunts fade off to leeward into the Sakonnet River and eventually start
motoring. The 40 combines performance and beauty to an extent not seen on many
other boats. It’s my favorite C&C!

Tall rigs will give you fits if you ever travel down the ICW.
