6ft 1 inch is NOT standing headroom. Sorry - not allowed to say £$%^& on the forum but think of Snow White.
Fair enough!!!

My point was more that our sprayhood uses almost all the height available below the boom. Admittedly it doesn't look as sleek as some of the other posted above - but, if it wasn't there, you'd gain little in terms of safe headroom anyway. It's the presence of a decent size bridgedeck that makes it a bit of a 'clamber' to the companionway - but then that allows a snug extra spot to sit/perch.

I guess if the sprayhood took space that you could actually use for standing in the cockpit (instead of on/over the bridgedeck, which puts you in direct line of being brained by the boom) I'd feel it more of a 'compromise'.
