Notes: VDS Design #26\nSeries built fiberglass version; hulls molded by Tyler Boat Co.\nFinished by Southern Ocean Shipyards, or at the van de Stadt yard in Holland.\nRegarding mast height, Excalibur 36 owner "Bluewaters2812" reports: I found the height of the mast from the deck to the top of the mast to be: 13metres or 42ft 6 inches. I measured a further 4ft 2 inches from the water to the base of the mast.Total height above water I found to be 46ft 8 inches. Add to that any lights and aerials fitted at the top of the mast. In my case, another 3 ft to take into account an aerial and tri-colour light. That gives me a total of 49ft 8 inches above water level. 50ft total for good measure (15.24 metres).
