Yup, that is what I'm talking about. And I'm just barely over 6' tall.
But my main thinking is getting in and out with it on would be much easier. The typical camper back is raised 6" or more a foot or so behind the back of the top. If this were done like the photo above such that the full height was achieved right at the back of the top you would have that extra space for entry/exit of the boat. Plus you would then be able to see forward over the top when in the cockpit area (maybe not in the center of the roof but certainly on the side of it).

The pix of the sailboat cover is a pix of a "doger" or "dodger?", so called because it allows you to dodge bad wx and spray. They're nice and a high camper back with a raised front end and a window would be very cool!!

Hi All,
My 2 cents on a camber back includes a yes to zippering the top a few inches aft of the sliding attachment point to allow for speedy dropping of the top, yes to stainless 1" tubing for the security of its strength, yes to hard legs for the rigidity they add to the top, yes to clear side and rear panels for the added light and vision it allows. I am experimenting with inexpensive mosquito netting hung over the top rather than side curtains with netting in them. This loose netting works well over the Bomar hatch and was real -$ (cheap). If it works I will weight the bottom edge and use light weight shock cord around the top to keep it positioned. King made my top and shipped it to me. It fit perfectly and is well made.

Well, the cruiser way of securing netting over a hatch is to sew chain around the bottom. That secures the netting against wind, and provides a secure seal against bugs. Works well over lifting hatches, such as the one over the V-berth
