Re: Boom clearance
I am 5'10" and have more than adequate clearance when seated. My boat is a trunk cabin model and has a taller than standard mast. I can measure the distance to bottom of boom from top of seat if you are interested. You may consider having the leach cut higher so that the boom sets a bit higher ...
