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


It says the standard mast for that boat is 7.2m - 23.7'. Allow, say, 3' for
waterline to mast step, and the height of the mast above water is about 27',
max. The only thing I can think of is that the power line was sagging more
than it should have been (I assume the area isn't tidal).
