Both sons are around 6'2" tall compared to their father's (my) 5'8" height. Two more inches and they would be scraping the boat's ceilings.
Don't think the direction your windows slant have a damn thing to do with the headroom in your cabin.

Boy O' Boy - - > I am sure glad Eric and Marin finally got NS/forward- raked windows all figured out.
Hey, what can I say. Eric has an outstanding sense of aesthetics when it comes to boats.

Aw shucks -It's All OK! Strokes for folks and folks for strokes!! I too do not feel forward-raked windows are too pretty on some style craft... I also feel they look fine on others. And, thay do have considerable usefulness under certain conditions. Long as a boat owner is pleased with their boat - Then... ALL IS OK!!
Greetings,
ONE advantage of forward raked windows/ports, is the bottom sill is a good place to park your ice cream cone if a sudden or emergency maneuver becomes necessary. The "drip" doesn't get all over the lace doilies around the compass.

Somewhere in the archives of my old PC, I had a photo of a GB advertised on Yachtworld with the fly-bridge converted into a hard pilothouse with North-Sea style windshield.
Geez Marin. Did you have an acute adverse childhood experience to create this North Sea pilothouse psychosis?
A bad cold and some Fisherman's Friend maybe?

but I'd like to see her bottom before pronouncing her seaworthy.
Gotta love an Internet forum.
