C-Dory 16 Cruiser “headroom”?

[Wolfeboro]

On a glorious day in the NH Lakes Region, I was just out on the Wolfeboro Rail Trail, measuring the clearance under the bridge on the Smith River connecting Crescent Lake and Lake Wentworth. How much clearance does a C-Dory 16 Cruiser generally require? Thanks!

From the waterline to the highest point on the cabin crown on my 16 is five feet. Good luck, I hope you are able to pass under that bridge!

Excellent! Many thanks for the reply. At current spring levels, clearance is about six feet.
