Operator was underway in his 25' sailboat on the Freemont Cut, when the mast of his vessel hit the Freemont Bridge.  Operator had consulted the boat owners manual for the mast height (28') and compared it to the posted clearance of the bridge (30').  The vessel was stuck for about 10 minutes until the boat was dislodged. 

Damages were over $2,000.00 with the mast bent and aft stay broken.
