Thanks Brian,
I have seen the site of the builder who has increased the freeboard,
and I agree this looks promising, I am going to contact Dudley
regarding implications of raising the COG and so forth..

Daniel,

Contact Dudley Dix... I know one European builder increased the freeboard with
Dudley's blessing... That may be all you need.

Consider a stretched Jumbo Tolman Skiff. The Tolmans are very
effcicient. By putting the "floor" of the wheelhouse at the bottom of
the stringers, you can get about 6'8" headroom. There have been
several stretched Jumbos built. The Jumbo Tolman is available as a kit
too from Skifkits.
