IanJ, which Hunter 31 do you have? One from 1984 to 1987, or one of the newer 310's. It does make a big difference. I have a new bimini on our 87 Hunter 31, and would be glad to measure it up for you.
I have a 4 bow that comes from the transom, up to just over the companion way. It does come very close to the boom, but doesn't touch while sailing.
There is another one I have seen in pictures that looks just like mine, but only comes up to the end of the boom. And this one only has a main bow with 2 smaller ones forward. Almost like a front porch. This one leaves alot of room in the cockpit area to move around in. That is what I am looking for.
The kind I have is desired here in the midwest due to less wind to sail, but more shade at anchorages. I will try and dig up a picture and send to you.

Robert can you post a picture of your Bimini. I have a 31 84-87 and have been trying to see as many designs as possible before I build one.
Thanks

I hope these pictures come thru for you. Have all of this technology and can't use it. As you can see, I have 4 bows total which gives me total cocpiit coverage. Let me know if it doesn't come thru, or send me an email at robt.syl@sbcglobal.net and I can get them to you easier.

Thanks for this. I have the early H31, 1985. If you do have the measurements, or some pictures, I would greatly appreciate looking at them. My email is ianjory@mindspring.com.

Has anyone thought of the possibility of making a T-Top type bimini. I don't presently have a bimini on my '78 H30. I see bimini's with all manner of straps and pipes getting in the way of my large body exiting the cockpit to go forward. I haven't spent much time yet on details, but would appreciate members' input on if it would work.
Thanks,
Jimmy
