Sailing under bridges?

[Zach]

Hi Guys,

I'm wondering what you all have to sail about keeping the sails up while under a bridge.

I've always been under the impression that bridges make a lot of strange wind, and pretty much die down directly under them. But, I keep seeing pictures of boats sailing under the Golden Gate and a few other beauties around the world.

How ugly can ugly get if one keeps a sail luffing on the way under? How would an engineless boat maneuver under them... or is a tow the only way?

Thanks
