'92 42'Passage Bimini Ideas

[Old Sailor 2]

My 42 Passage has a dodger but no bimini. I just returned from the caribbean sailing in some pretty great conditions but realized how important it is to have shade while on the water. My Passage has the arch that has the traveler and holds the deck lights and some other items BUT it seems to make it difficult to install a bimini. Has anyone seen or installed a bimini on a center cockpit Passage? I am looking for ideas. As always, thanks!

That boat is ideal for a full enclosure. My dock neighbor has one...The Bimini extends from the arch to about 5 feet forward, then he has a connector that connects the Doger and the Bimini.

Hey Bowed, I see you've got a 45'cc with a bimini. I might blow up your pic and see if I can't get some ideas. Thanks! Sandy
