Geezercdg Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 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. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 as a sufferer of spinal arthritis I find it vital to be able to move around when driving the boat and for that reason tend to go for boats with an open helm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WherryNice Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) 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.
