Hi ,
Can anybody tell me the standing headroom in a Sadler 26?

Cheers

No but you might be interested in the original brochure

I don't think it is any different from a Sadler 25 so about 5' 3" or so . I couldn't stand quite upright in mine.

The boat was reviewed by PBO in february 1983 ( PBO 194)
All the pictures seem to be from the brochure

BUT they say, "Down below, there's 6 feet of headroom beneath the main sliding hatch, but around 5 inches less further forward".

I though I could stand up when i looked at one at the boat show back in the 1980s. I'm 6ft..

I'll need to try one out. None of for sale up here at the moment unfortunately.

There's a good deal more headroom than a 25.

At 6'2" I could just stand under the hatch but had to bow my head elsewhere.

Thanks for the replies . Nearest one to here (Clyde) at the moment is in Belfast. I can see a trip coming up!

Yes I am slightly more vertically challenged at 1.74m but the one I have sailed locally a couple of times has plenty of headroom around the hatch, chart table, galley area where it's needed.

I am almost 5' 11" (wife disputes this!)and can stand in mine, more easily at the galley area but seems to be enough headroom going forward although I probably do stoop a little just to keep some margin?
Always tight getting into and out of v berth.
Welcome to check mine out on the east coast - Port Edgar.

Many thanks all.

The one I had my eye on in Belfast is at Blue Flag Boats. Despite all my efforts I've been unable to raise anybody. Most frustrating. Web site has been updated in Feb.

Do you really need standing headroom at the chart table? Anyway, personally I prefer to sit down when below - galley excepted.

Just a wee bit more than the 25 would be nice , but agree with comment , galley area most important.
