The floor slopes where you hve to put your foot to get around and when slippery, I have slid to the floor before being able to recover. Moving around the wheel from the helm to the cockpit is awkward, even though it is a "T"-shaped cockpit. This summer I didn't bother putting the bimini up because I like being able to see the wind indicator and tell tales from the helm. I am 6' so obviously I have to be careful, too! With the boom as low as it is, I have to stoop below the bimini. My wife is 5'6" and has been hit (glancing) in the head by the boom while standing in the cockpit. Some other personal notes about the boat. Between the bridgedeck and the wheel pedestal, there is very little leg room for two passengers (besides the helmsman).Let us know what you think after you look at her! I would say that the cockpit feels smaller than it is due primarily to the bridge deck. We never race since there doesn't seem to be any interest among the people who have boats of our size, but it seems like our Starwind would do well against any of them. ĺll in all, I like the lines of our boat and I prefer it over any of the other similar sized boats on the lake (there aren't many our size and maybe only one or two larger). The aft berth is more suitable for sail storage in my opinion. We have no softness in the cockpit, on the coach roof or forward.It's roomy down below and well laid out. If you walk on the deck and notice anything, I would appreciate your input. Ours feels soft to me, though, between supports I suppose, and I am curious if this is a trait due to insufficient support or thickness, or if I have a moisture problem. It has a nice wide deck for going forward. The boat is beamy for a 27 footer at 9'8" beam. Weather helm is excessive when you get closer to 30 degrees. It heels comfortably up to about 25 degrees and performs well at that angle. The mast is stepped on the coach roof and there is no compression post.Ours is a shoal draft and I have a 10HP Yanmar diesel. According to an ad I found, the base PHRF is 186, which is not very meaningful to me, but may be to you. The designer, Jim Taylor, is widely known for designing boats for Precision and Sabre. I'll be glad to talk about it since I have run into relatively few people that know about this model.It does look good on paper and it is a nice, performance-oriented boat made by Wellcraft when they were briefly in the business of making sailboats.
