Re: headroom

Supermouse. Sky high, or a 21" large booby hatch - after Cartoon #1 -
way aft? (seehttp://hallman.org/sbj/25/- pro & con at 04a.gif)

The design was superseded by the William D. Jochems schooner, about
which PCB&F have rather a lot to say in their video....

Any idea what happened to whalewatcher.I think that it
was part built but the guy who commissioned it died
prematurely.Would it have been capable of short sea
passages

I am 6'0" and can stand in my Micro Navigator, albeit, with my
head cocked to the side, which is plenty good enough to stand
up to pull up my drawers. At other times, I stand with my
head out the open hatch.

I think it wioud be an easy matter to make the Micro Navigator
with a 10" higher crown in the cabin roof so that you could have
a two squire foot spot with standing headroom. Already, the
foot of the berths, [the way I built them at least], is flush with
the tops of the 'dressers' so you would have footroom.
I haven't measured it, but Jessie Cooper must come close. If not, it would be pretty easy to raise the house a few inches, by the looks of it.

Here's a question for those of you with encyclopedic knowledge of
Bolger's designs: what is the *smallest* one of his designs that has a
cabin with at least 6'5" headroom (even if it's just under a hatch).
I know it's a rather vague question but still I'm interested in any
suggestions.

Bigger question: what about a boat with berths long enough for a 6'5" dude?

The 29' Whalewatcher was designed for a tall man, or so I heard. Dunno about
the smallest.
