20 ft boat, 40 ft mast? I dont think so.

Ouch. The article didn't say her mast was 40', though. It said the
power lines were *supposed* to provide for 40' of clearance, which
isn't very much. A Sabre 28 needs 41', not including antenna or wind
instruments. Anyway, it would take a brave sailor to sail under a
power line where the clearance was "close" Anyway, it said her mast
was something along the lines of 23'. Good thing she wasn't sailing a
steel boat
