Advice needed about whether you think it’s important to be able to stand in the cockpit. I’m considering a Freeman 27 with a half fixed roof above the cockpit. I’m 6 foot 1 and have to stoop when In The cockpit.

I can stand in the galley easily - it’s a great boat and ticks all the boxes except I can’t stand in the cockpit and the roof doesn’t come off but as I’m finding there always seems to be one niggle and the perfect boat doesn’t exist. Have any tall people any experience of this?

Thanks in advance.

Yes very important I would say, when needing a better view for mooring up or what have you being able to stand is a big bonus. Also it's nice to be able to move around while on a longer cruise too.

Oh and no the perfect boat doesn't exist, there will always be something that isn't ideal.
