Hudson river navigation

[forsailbyowner]

Were planning our escape from hurricane season this coming spring. Have some relatives we would like to get as close to as possible, anyone out there familiar with bridge heights, and how far upriver it would be possible to get with a 47 foot mast height? Thanks in advance

Since you are planning on heading that way you might want to get a good set of charts now and it will help a lot with the planning. You can download a lot of free charts on the NOAA site and will have all of the info you need. Good luck

How far up river did you intend to go???

Alabany? Wifes family lives in Ballston Spa Skylerville would be closest but she thinks that wouldnt be possible without dropping mast.

Albany is no problem..........Albany is a shipping port.........ocean going ships dock there regularly.
