Tired of Kneeling at the Galley Stove

[flit]

Does anyone have recommendations???? I am 6'5"+ tall....I am looking for a boat that is good in light air for coastwise cruising. I suppose $75,000 is the limit for now. I would prefer a smaller boat to a larger one. I can go on with specifics.... like I like lots of wood inside with very little on the outside, I like fin keel spade rudder boats but hate IOR designs. I think an Ericson 41 is a very nice boat on the eyes. I think a Kettenburg PCC is very beautiful, if the boat were lovely and had standing headroom in the galley I would take on a full wood boat. I would go to the opposite end of the spectrum and take a flat out racer like a Davidson 44 which does have the headroom in at least on of them, I value a boat that is built to be sailed first and lived on second... I only need to be able to stand at the galley sink and the stove.... I sit most everywhere else....
If anyone has a list of boats with exceptional Headroom, please forward it me
Thanks so much....

and headroom does matter, after several solo 1,800+ mile passages and lots of long distance cruising,,, I am tired of kneeling at the galley sink

She is out of your price range, but scores a 10 out of 10 on your other points....fast, comfortable and almost 7' of head room in most of the down below spaces. Our son, who is 6"4" lived aboard with us for 3 years, and has a very modest number of noggin knocks! Check her out!
