I'd been googling "headroom" to try and locate a list of yachts and their headroom. No luck so far, so I'm making my own list. Being 56 years I'm going to want to stand up in my boat, and 6'2 appears too tall for most designers of smaller boats - at least on this side of the pond. I've got 63 boats listed so far, between 29 and 40 feet LOA, and just 20 of them tall enough for me (with a few "don't knows" in the list). I haven't seen a yacht shorter than 29' with enough headroom. Then again there's a Douglas 32 from Canada, but for sale over here, with 6'6 height. So maybe it's a European problem. I'm reading Patrick O'Brian's terrific novels, set in the time of Nelson, and even a pretty big ship like a Frigate of the time would have most people stooping below decks.<br />Keep well, sj.Lazyboneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217668234403848937noreply@blogger.com
