Default 25ish foot coastal cruiser



Hi All,
I am looking to build a cruiser around this size. I have had my eye on
the DiDi 26 by Dudley Dix for some time. It seems to be a good
construction technique, and produces very attractive results.
It has a fair amount of space too, the only thing that concerns me, is
headroom (I am 6'10", so my sitting headroom is a bit more than a
regular person)


You might also consider a boat that has a slide top cabin or a
removable top cabin. I'm 6'2" and find that most boats dont have much
headroom too, i can only imagine how bad it must be for you! I sail a
thunderbird 26 which i use for cruising, even though it probably doesnt
have enough room to be a luxurious cruiser i find its pretty good for
me
