Bimini on H26

cephius (Dave) · Apr 24, 2010

My bimini and boom overlap by about 12". I just use the topping lift to keep the boom clear when the sail is down. The main sail keeps the boom clear of the bimini when it is raised.

I highly recommend the stainless steel frame. Any bar on a sailboat becomes a handhold at some point.

Mine was manufactured and installed by the dealer so I can't offer any fit information.

I have the factory Hunter bimini on my boat, it overlaps the boom about a foot. The dealer had to install another padeye on the boom for the mainsheet just in front of the bimini. It has worked fine that way and I do not see any problem doing this. The bimini makes a big difference and if the boat had not come with one it would have been my first upgrade on it. I purchased several canvas products for the boat from Hunterowners.com and am very pleased with the fit and quality. My bimini came with the aluminum frame, it works well and I use as a steady when stepping back down into the cockpit. If I was replacing it I would probably buy the stainless, but the aluminum does work fine too.
