My first sailboat was a Cape Dory 25. My brother and I lifted in up the river in Charleston. Never before did we have to worry about bridge clearance, we had been power boaters. We hit the bridge at about 4 kts, so hard that water shot up a couple feet out the cockpit scuppers. A lesser built boat and the mast would have been by-the-board.

At least the bridge didn't fall on us.
