I ran across this gem in case anyone has this problem and was looking for a solution.

 
Pretty awesome geometry problem solving. I hope I never have to do that. A lot of stress on the top of that spar and port side standing rigging (shrouds).

I think @swatski will be scheming about a new surf option for his boat after seeing that.
 
Watch the overheat alarm on your port engine...not much thrust up there in the air...
 
Makes me wonder why they were so desperate to go under that bridge! Bought the boat and didn't realize it was too big to get out???
