Hello Peter
My wife and I have been searching for a center-cockpit blue-water-capable sailboat, so i have been lurking on the Amel Owners Group website.

I see your notice of sale, to which I'm responding, but not yet any posting in the Boats for Sale part of the Amel group website.  There is one thing that is mandatory for us: enough headroom at helm, in the salon, and in the master cabin.  I'm 6'-2" tall, so need headroom of 6'-5" at least.  Is your boat that tall?

Thanks
Bob Chapman

Bob,

I am 6’3” and have a Super Maramu and find the headroom ample throughout the interior of the boat. The pass thru area between the main salon and the aft cabin is a bit more restrictive, but I just duck to pass through. I can stand comfortably in the Aft Cabin, Aft Head, Main Salon, Fore Cabin and Fore Head. The only other area where I have to duck a bit is under the bimini top, although several have raised theirs.

I hope that helps.

Best,

Mark

I'm 6'2, love the headroom on Wake. I think I measured a full 6'8 or 10 inches in most of the saloon, the heads are a bit less but not by much. There are various duck points you will soon learn, but 2 of them are due to waterproof doors fore and aft, so that's a small price to pay. I do find the cockpit a slight stoop unfortunately. Our PO raised the dodger to the maximum height allowed by the boom, which is maybe 4 inches more than standard, a mod you will want to do I think. When piloting the boat from the helm, I love to stand and poke my head out of the small row of windows however. Overall, it feels very nice even for a tall person on an amel...

Greetings Bob,
I am 6’-3” and have no problems getting around the boat. As others have posted, I can stand comfortably in the main cabin. Our dodger/Bimini is a bit low, but I’ve seen on this forum other owners have modified theirs to provide more headroom.

I have posted in the “Yachts for Sale” subgroup. As I understand it, a subscription is required, but is easily obtained by request.

yachtforsale at AmelYachtOwners dot groups dot io.

If you are unable to get there, please contact me directly (out side of the group) and I will get you the information I’ve posted.

Thanks
Peter
