As sailors
are becoming more "sun-conscious", a properly designed Sailing Bimini becomes a
necessary addition to your boat and will greatly enhance your cruising pleasures and
comfort.

| We design our biminis extra wide,
and mount
them outboard as far as possible, so as to create an unobstructed path to and from the
helm and full use of winches. Many times we mount the bimini to the forward portion of the
sternrails. The bimini extends aft of the backstay giving complete sun protection for the helmsman, as
well as others in the cockpit. The bimini frames are made of 7/8" or
1" stainless tubing, with all stainless steel fittings, to provide for a trouble
free lifetime operation in a salt water environment. They are installed with fixed aft
bracing for easy out of the way stowage and simplified set up, eliminating the annoying
task of adjusting straps each time the bimini is set up.

Zipper pockets are provided to facilitate easy installation and end
of season removal A Bimini stowage "boot " is also provided for quick and easy
stowage when not in use. An observation window, with flap, just forward of the helm
position, allows the helmsman to easily observe the main sail for correct trim. Used with
a dodger and connector, or a forward awning extension the Sailing Bimini provides you with
the utmost in sailing comfort and sun protection.
