[C320-list] Bimini / awning

[Paul Rickman]

I used to have one of those. It had three ties, one in the middle, tied to the backstay, and one on each end that tied to the 
life lines on each side. The configuration is called a helmsman I think.

My bimini is only used for shade when at anchor. It attaches to the dodger with twist studs and then to the backstay. There is only one pole that fits in a sleeve along the aft end near the backstay. There are two closed loops of webbing to use to attach to the backstay. Any ideas on the best way to attach to the backstay? I want to be able to put it up and take it down fairly easily and I don't want to leave it rolled up on the backstay.

Thanks,
Mike
