E-S has a valid point. Allowing more under keel clearance would allow vessels to deliberately increase the clearance between masthead and any municipal overwater transit by 'speeding'.
Like his start attempts on a Gotaverken, the 'shit or bust' approach. Much like mine WRT large and recalcitrant rotating electrical machines.
I fear he may need to take precautions to cater for his navigating colleagues who may encounter a sudden and less hydrodynamic urge to squat should they attempt to execute such a manoeuvre. (Precautions that I omitted to mention with my own 'solution' but equally desirable).
On the plus side his family may be able to bask in a similar kind of glory to that of the Tryons.
