[C320-list] Bimini recommendation

[Warren Updike]

Greg, you don't say where you are. That's important because IMHO, the
installer needs to measure onboard and do the initial install. 
When we bought the boat, it had an awning that attached to the back stays.
When we went for the bimini, we had it built for my height, 6'2", and
extended beyond the push pit rail. Also, short enough that it wouldn't
interfere with the boom when sailing. Also, it does not use any straps at
all. There are two rigid attachments on the push pit and two more with a
horizontal "knee." To fold it, the two rigid rods are freed via pins, and
the knee is opened allowing both fore and aft sections to fold to the back
stays. Takes about 10 min.

I have seen a few 320s out there that sport a folding Bimini. Unfortunately
I have not been able to find a distributor that makes one. All the ones I
have run across only make a fixed system.  Does anyone out there have a
recommendation of someone they have used?
Thanks
