bimini

Hi folks, I recently purchased my Sea Pearl 21 with brand new sails. Unfortunately, the sails are on average 6" too short, compared to a third party sail plan I found online (https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/sea-pearl-21). The mainsail is functionally too short as the vang does not reach its...

Having a bimini installed on my 1980 H33. Bimini is 80" long, tapered to match the boat width, and entirely aft of the boom. I have never had one on any sailboat. While I am looking forward to the shade, I do have one concern. When motoring about the marina, I expect and use the wind which tends...

Hi all, new sailor here, so first, thank you for any insights. Taking all the help I can get and trying to learn. I acquired an old '74 Catalina 27 over the winter. Been working on her all spring and now have been out a few times with the wife and young daughter. We would like to install...

Good Day, My (new to us) boat has the original bimini (full cockpit coverage). I'm looking for images and advice on how to fold it properly when not in use. For us it is a nice to have but would like it available. The rear arch is significantly higher than the forward two and it seams an awkward...

Anyone ever used The Canvas Store in NY area for re-skining Bimini and dodger? Price is right, but website is down and I’m having a hard time finding a good review of their work. Any First hand info would be great. but I think i know my answer already. Thanks.

Does anyone have information on a getting dodger for an Oday 272.

Hi all, Recently acquired Capri 18 came with a Bimini. Previous owner said that the boat can be sailed with the Bimini in place. So far the geometry has eluded me. It seems to be much taller than the boom. My conclusion is that it has to be fully extended to fold and trailer, but then has to...

We are considering installing a Bimini on our 26S, naturally, being retired, we don't want to spend a fortune but are still concerned about buying something durable. Again, we would prefer a Canadian supplier to avoid customs and brokerage fees, but then again it's not a fixed requirement. I'm...

Hey fellow S2 owners.....I have a 1980 9.2a with standard main sheet rigging that comes down off the aft end of the boom to a transom mounted traveler. While beneficial for singlehanding, finding a Bimini solution hasn't been easy. I figure I have two options: 1 - rig the traveler and main...

Hi there! I am trying to close some gaps between pieces of navy sunbrella between my dodger and bimini. Some holes are from poor design choices (no idea how they ended up with the idea they did), and some used to accommodate the main sheet and cockpit traveler back when there was one. See...

I'm helping a friend to find an easy solution to extending his bikinis from just above helms pedestal to near companionway. His current bimini covers the stern rail seat up to about the helms. The mainsheet anchor is on the helms pedestal. So the natural suggestions to extending the bimini would...

I am searching for a bimini or similar solution that would work with my 1976 Catalina 30 with an aft traveler. Are there any options out there that would work without upgrading to a midship traveler? I'd be good with something that covers only the area of the cockpit foreward of the traveler...

Hello All! Anybody know what size bimini to use for my 1982 Hunter 36/SL? I would like to mount on coamings (as opposed to rail). The SBO store doesn't seem to carry a precut version, so I may have to modify some other model to fit. I realize biminis are sort of complicated, but hoping a H x W...
