[C320-list] Bimini

[Jeff Hare]

**"Only"** tornadoes?  Oh, well heck then, you could probably leave your sails up all season then and save the hoisting/flaking ritual.  :)  :)

Mine was made by JSI. It has a fixed dodger, bimini that folds up and zip in connecting piece between the bimini and dodger  to completely shade the cockpit. It is very versatile.

I haven't seen a strong enough wind that I would worry about removing the canvas but we don't get hurricanes much in Kansas just tornadoes.

All



We want to add a Bimini to Cherie and would appreciate some information and

any recomendations from the group.



It looks like the rail mounting approach reduces the mounting complexity

and moves the frame up and out of the way a bit.  Is there an argument to

consider the style that attaches to the coaming?



Is there an off the shelf unit that fits the 320 or has everyone used a

local canvas shop to make a custom unit?



How much wind does the Bimini tolerate before you furl it?



Thank you for your help.
