Head room in the main salon is 6' 4". Plenty for me.
When standing in the cockpit the boom can pass over my head. The freeboard
is quite good.You must be thinking of something else although it would still
be modest compared to the yachts you mentioned.

Fun little boat?? What do you crew on now?

==========================================

Last couple of years I've done some racing on a Frers 41, including
two Newport-Bermuda races and some local racing on Long Island Sound.
Prior to that, a Ron Holland custom 50, a Baltic 58, Frers 55, J-120,
Express 37, Swan 48, C&C 39, etc. I raced a custom rigged Cal-34 of
my own for many years but have been mostly power boating recently. If
my memory of the Mirage 33 is correct, it has no standing headroom and
relatively low freeboard. That makes it a small boat to me, but
certainly not in any derogatory sense. Small boats are more fun to
sail than large ones in many respects, but there's no denying that the
larger ones will usually get you there faster and a lot more
comfortably.

Yes, different boat entirely. The "Mirage" I sailed on was more like
an overgrown J-24.
