Re: M_Boats: Does anyone sail with a bimini top?

Brian, My M15 came to me with a nice Bimini. I have not used it, but have set it up in the driveway to see how it works. Apparently, the center mainsheet block on the boom has to be moved forward a foot or so when the Bimini is up to gain clearance. Don't know how or if that would affect performance...probably not much in light winds. George, M15 #385 Santa Rosa, Ca On 5/15/05 7:43 AM, "Brian Gilbert" <hammerguy@mindspring.com> wrote:

Hi All... I'm curious. Does anyone sail with a bimini for sun protection? Or is there not enough clearance for the boom, room in the cokpit, etc.

Hope to buy an M17 next weekend, if all goes well!

Thanks for the input BG
