While researching mast and rigging updates for my P323 I noticed a shorter measurement for the mast above DWL in the original 1978 owners manual on page 5. It shows a height of 37' 1" instead of the published 45' 4". Is it possible some of the early boats were shipped with a "short mast" or is it just a misprint from some early documentation? Just wondering...

I will measure the mast tip to tail and deck to top once the weather he in Boston breaks.

Here is a quote from Chance that provides a mast measurement for Hull #10 which seems consistent with the 45' 4" spec for mast height. Perhaps the 37' 1" height was from pre-production documentation.
The mast of Chance pearson 323 1977 which is laying on saw horse for the winter. I measure today is 46 feet 6 and 1/2 inches, that measurement was from the bottom of the al tube to the top of al tube. This does not include the top mast head , which goes on top of the tube has all blocks in it for the jib , main and spin hoist . Bob Kraus CHANCE Hull 10 41 years
