[C320-list] Bimini

[Bernie Garrett]

Hi,

We got a custom rail mount 2 bow one made last year. Works great and has a
connector piece. We looked at the coaming mount but rejected it on the basis
it restricted movement in the cockpit more and meant drilling holes.

Cheers

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.

Pat and Nancy, 801
