24' cruising sailboats- how far is the cabin sole below the waterline?

Just a general question: How far below the waterline do you guess the cabin sole is on boats like the PS Dana, Allegra, Amigo, etc.?

 

Well, the Left Coast Dart is 25', trailerable, a weekend cruiser/camper and the cabin floor is 3" below the waterline.

Don't know about the others.

My guess is boats like Amigos or say, Flickas or similar have soles about a foot or more below the waterline. These are heavy boats for their waterline length.
Lighter displacement boats won't have near as much depth to stand in. A light displacement sailboat might only have a couple of inches of depth at the cabin sole.
Wide, flat-bottomed boats have high soles even if heavy, while narrow and vee-bottomed boats can have low soles even if light. Most boats are generally round-bottomed, somewhere between wide flat-bottomed types and the deep and narrow ones.

On smaller beneteau model, the cabin sole just cover hull bottom. Somewhat 8 inches below waterline. There is absolutely no bilge, no space between cabin sole and hull bottom.
