I just installed one on a 26.....



.............and it goes to the sides of the boat and that gives you a lot of coverage. I'm not real sure of the cockpit dimensions on a 25 compared to a 26, but would think they might be similar. Maybe someone can tell us. If they are this Bimini install would probably work for you also.

Here is a link to a lot more pictures and how I installed it and dimensions....

..........with the..........



............. sliding tracks you can move it around for sun protection ........



.........closer to the cabin when you are not sailing.



It gives a lot of shade. Way more than I thought it would looking at pictures and never seeing one in real life before. We are very happy with it.

Hope this helps some,

Sumner

That's funny. I wish this would have shown up when I did the search. I am trying to get my bimini on too and this is very helpful. Where did you pick up the sliders?

The bimini and all the hardware came from GMI....

http://www.gmitopdesign.com/

.... I thought their prices were very good and they were prompt on delivery and we really liked the fact we could get the color we wanted which no one else offered. The bimini fits well and I'd recommend it and them to anyone.

Ruth and I love the sailing videos you have been posting and your little girl is a real darling, great background music also.

Thanks,

Sum

I too ran mine on the outside ledge of the gunnel. I also used a track so I could slide it forward. I have folding extenders on mine that I purchased on Ebay. They give me a lot more headroom especially when on the hook. I don't have a pictures of it up since I seldom use it. We use it when on the hook only I is a little claustrophobic for me while sailing. In the late afternoon it is useless as the sun shines under it.
The problem with the Mac 25 is with the backstay. I had to cut a slot in the cover to accommodate the backstay. You have to disconnect it and thread it through each time you use. it.

Is the cockpit shorter on the 25? The 26 has the back stay also and even though we haven't sailed yet with the bimini as I just installed it the other day it clears the backstay and the main sail control tackle forward of the bimini. I think I've seen pictures of one 26 either a D or S that had a slot in the back of the bimini for the back stay.

Right now the bimini seems to clear the mast with the sail up and also the backstay and control tackle. If we actually have a problem on the water I'll be noting that on the build page,

Sum,
That looks like a very nice installation. One question - what's the length of your sliding track? It looks like 3 feet.
