Quick bimini cover for my catalina 22
I used a eno double nest parachute material hammock. Other similar hammocks should work.
Place over boom attach carbiner clamps to life lines 1 doubled around lifeline. The web strap attached to bag for storing can attach around boom to secure 1 side and a small line around opposite side keeps both ends secure.
2 together will cover all of cockpit. Attach sides together with wooden clothes pins or clamps of your choice.
It makes a quick bimini shade for those sunny days while motoring optional expandable boat hooks will keep ends extended if desired. A sunny day motivated this trial and success was achieved. 2 together are shown in attached photos 1 was a double nest the othe a single nest. Doubles are wider than singles so cover more are.

You can't beat that shade - once you have one, you only wish you got one sooner. How long have you had your C22? Your boat looks like it's in pretty good shape. I have a very similar looking solar panel - is it 100w?

We just happen to have an ENO double nest. Thanks for the great idea! :):beer:
