Can anyone post or send me a picture of a 23.5 with the bimini and stern rail seats? I purchased the one from the chanderly and it just doesn't look right. I tried to pre-fit it this weekend and it pretty much renders the stern rail seats useless. I may not have it positioned right, or assembled right, I don't know. I had my wife sit in the seat and it is right in her face. I can't sit in the seat at all with it up. Are you supposed to be able to sail with it up? Any help/advice would be appriciated.

Same Issues

I ended up moving mine forwrd or back about a foot (I forget exactly) from where the directions said and cuting the suports that went to the stern rail seats in half. The bimmini does not follow the line of the seats like it seams it should. Once I stopped trying to make it do that it was OK. I'll look for some pictures. I emailed back and forth to Ameriseam to help get it figured out it seams that it was an old pattern from the previous entity and that the stern rail seat design changed from the mock up they had I forget exactly what they said. I am hapy with mine and once I ignored the directions it went right on.

Bail for the Mainsheet Must be Moved

My boom had an extra one that was loose in the track so it just needed to be secured in the right position. The gates ar a bit of a problem I have the hardware to move the pelican hook to the stantion rather than the rail. They are still functional just a bit of a pain.
