Move the "test" node to the top of mast and again note the "y" value.
Determine the total number of units from keel to mast top and multiply by 10 to get the length in meters
Open the .sim file with S3D and note the "draught" under unit_ship/obj_hydro/Surfaced and "subtract" the value you generated in the last step.
I have conducted a number of different test today to "validate" the mast height are correct.
During testing I noted that the values for mast height and ship length for ships for OM will have to be redone as they are inaccurate. I will start working on this shortly

Well, my face is red, my proceedure for trying to figure out mast height appears to be wrong. I'll have to come up with something else to determine the correct value
