A good estimate for a masthead rig would be:
I + bow height (2.5-4.5’) + antennae height (2’ if you don’t mind it scraping the bottom of the bridge, 3-4’ if you do)
For a fractional rig:
P + headboard to truck height (1-2’) + antennae height (2’ if you don’t mind it scraping the bottom of the bridge, 3-4’ if you do) + waterline to gooseneck height (see below)
Gooseneck height:
Sole is 6” or so above waterline.
I’m 6’ and the bottom of the boom is usually just above my
head so let’s say 6’6”.
The height of the boom is usually around 8-9”, let’s call it 1’.
For a boat up to about 35-40’ let’s say that adds up to 8’.
If you can scale dimensions off of a line drawing too.
