Bimini for a 1987 Hunter 28.5

[wgshaw]

I have a dodger for my newly-acquired 1987 Hunter 28.5, but no bimini. I would like to purchase or build a rail-mount bimini that will allow standing at the helm without raising the boom and shortening the main sail; I think they call this a half-bimini. Does anyone have any suggestions on whether this bimini could be purchased or built? Thanks.

Congratulations on your new sailboat!! You can purchase a Bimini on-line (just provide them the requested dimensions) and install it yourself OR have a local marine canvas shop build one for you.

We bought ours 18 years ago on this site. Then, they did a custom cabin cover to my design that ties in with the bimini at anchor/in port. You send them the measurements, and they will do quality work.
