Our new-to-us 2001 Beneteau 411 came with what they referred to as a bimini with windshield. We don't care for it since we're used to the traditional bimini plus dodger. The advantage is that one has unobstructed 360 degree vision from the helm. Sometimes one can add a connecting piece from dodger to bimini for complete protection from forward although we have never felt the need. When spray comes from forward, one tucks in behind the dodger. When one wants to see, one simply stands up since the height of dodger is designed to be below eye level. My question is does anyone know of a good canvas maker who has done this on a 411? We would prefer someone in Florida since that's our next destination.
