Only if you're one of those gentle giant Norseman sailing a diminuitive
Potter! :-)
A guy up to about 160 pounds and fairly nimble should be able to stand in a
hatch that would be about 18" X 24" or so.
Actually, to change head sails you wouldn't have to even stand clear up in
the hatch. If you could just sitick your head, hands and shoulders above the
deck to pull in one sail and hank on another. I imagine you could do that
kneeling on a cushion in the cabin.
