Hi, I'm 6'6" and I am looking at a DE 38 to sail off on the "Big Adventure" with my wife. How much head room do you have in the kitchen, salon, and head in a DE 38?

The Sea heather a DE38 reported this in their sale listing from a year or so ago.

6' 3" head room throughout main cabin, kitchenette, head, and v-berth,
maximum 7' 2" clearance in center of cabin.

 

We actually have a Head room topic at http://downeasteryachts.com/fo...../head-room

however only the DE45 is well documented there. Bob of Eolian actually put up the numbers he measured for his boat and I'm ashamed to say I totally forgot to measure and report on our boat.

I will put that back on our list.

 

I will say that I am 6' 2 1/2" and have full head room everywhere in the boat. Vberth, saloon, galley, head etc..  The salon is much higher than that. I have to reach up over my head to touch the cabin top.

For the size she is on of the taller boats on the inside that I have been on. I think you will find her to be much more comfortable than most but will probably still have to hunch over a bit everywhere but the saloon. I would advise finding someone near you that has one and visiting it. Our boat is in Southport, NC and if your anywhere around just let us know and we will make a time to take a look and see if a DE38 might fit you.
