No. It would be cool to BP-clone ships and have some riding lower, though...
That was actually a non-trivial matter with merchant ships. Their draft, and hence mast height could very easily change by many feet.
Biyo Maru, for example has a draft of 26' loaded, and 8' light, according to ONI-208 J!
Frankly, given the fact that the game doesn't seem to do this (does it?) I'd be inclined to treat the loaded vs unloaded values as an error bar on the mast height.
Biyo is 82' with a 18' slop. I'd set the mast height wrong by 9', lol.
