Alas, I have resigned myself to the fact that I will never stand upright inside boats. After 30 year's in the Navy (most of it crouched) and after 4 years as skipper of a 102' ketch (bunks too short) I have decided to sit down while inside boats.
There are two places in my boat where I can stand naturally, under the hatch in the galley and under the hatch in the pilothouse.
Bummer!
