We attended the rally at Newport last weekend and I took some photos at low water. It wasn't quite springs but a few days later. Following the recent dredging we found that we didn't quite dry out but, of course, had the keel and rudder lifted so probably had about 18inches under the boat! We managed to leave about four hours before high water but it got very shallow with about 2 feet min depth. We lifted the keel so only one foot remained lowered and the rudder was pulled up so it was horizontal. Although it is a bit hard to steer there was no wind so we just motored gently along.
