look forward to it, I was imagining the bimini today as i motored out to go fishing (yes my sailboat also doubles as a fishing boat). It looks like it would have to be pretty short to clear the boom. I was thinking if it would be better to fold down towards the back rather than fold forward since it would be in the way when going forward to release a line or set the anchor. gilbert ----- Original Message ----- From: <Saltm17@aol.com> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2004 8:45 PM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Bimini
I have a home made Bimini that was designed and built by some friends. I haven't taken measurements, but it does have standing head room, but I had to cut down on the main to get it. The boom is now lifted up by the leech enough to clear the Bimini. Tod has a good pic of it on his site. I will take some measurements the next time I rig it which will probably be at the Hess Fest.
