How tall is it really?

[Orcasdad]

I am planning on buying a carport/enclosed tent type for a 2015 R-27. I know they are 11’11” on the trailer with the mast down. But how high is the side of the cabin on the trailer? The unit I’m considering has a gently peaked roof and I don’t want the edges of the cabin scraping the roof. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

We have a 2015 R25SC and had our garage built with a 12 foot high door and she just fit. Your issue will likely be the port side because the mast folds that direction and when folded it is out past the top of the cabin - know because I carefully watched it pass through the garage door every time it went in and out. Different trailers and different ball height on your tow vehicle will also change so I recommend measuring the exact boat you own or are buying if you are down to inches of clearance. We had the garage remodeled with the roof raised about the time we ordered the boat and spent some time contemplating letting air out of the trailer tires or changing to a drop draw bar until the day we towed the new boat home and breathed a sign of relief when she fit perfectly. Unfortunately, the new 29 is going to have to find rented storage space.

We have a 2015 R27 and the bottom of the roof trusses are 12' in my barn where I park the trailer. The radar dome being the highest point on the boat with the mast down just squeezes under with about an inch or so to spare. So the measurement of 11'11" high on the trailer is just about right. This is with a Float On brand trailer but it might be slightly different with other trailers. I just measured the sides at about 10 and a half feet at the highest part of the forward part of the cabin. Hope this helps.
