RG8 [not 6] is MUCH bigger in diameter than RG58. RG58 is also much
mor flexable.
But I wouldn't recommend it for this length, unless a very sharp bend
is absolutely necessary.

Besides that, if you ran RG8 on an 18ft Capri, it would likely turn turtle!

Always minimise weight aloft on a sailing vessel!
