| Ok - I Am An Idiot - I Give Up... Hello... Why I thought I could stuff a six foot man (me) into a 22 foot 'sport boat' - I no longer know... Perhaps it was the whiskey - perhaps it was the Photoshop doodles - but I give up... It is not possible without having the thing look like a cheap Chinese tin toy...  I am a hopeless failure who needs to start exploring other hobbies... So there... SH.  |

| It is possible to provide full standing headroom in a short waterline length, but the sport aspect may go right out the window. Flicka (sp?) has a 20' LOD and full headroom, but would hardly rank sporting qualities. Hull forms under 25' will have great difficulty providing light weight, flat run and enough belly to stand up in under cover, though pop tops can be used, if this works for you. I regularly race a fellow who is 6'5" in our Lasers, which would qualify as sport, but I beat the shorts off him, 'cause he's too heavy for the boat and I'm too obnoxious to tell him. Keep playing with it, as it can be done, but it ain't easy . . . |
