Range to target and mast height.
When assessing range by measuring the angle of the mast height you should bring down the line to the top of the highest mast.
Does this mast height include the flag pole on top of the mast?
In other words:-
Is the highest mast the height to the top of the flag if this is the highest point, or do you measure to the top of the highest thick mast, ignoring the narrow flagpole on top of it?
