description of original
Sorry I don't have photos, but my 1987 28-2 does have its original canvas which consisted of a reasonably small and unobtrusive dodger and a long matching rectangle which zipped to the back of the dodger forming a continuous bimini. A neat idea, really, but there was never any bimini frame with it, making me think it was intended to be hung from the boom and hence not a true bimini. The dodger frame was minimal, just a long tube to support the canvas and a system of some kind of elastic straps that pulled the frame back and attached at a round knob screwed into the coaming. When I go to get the dodger redone I'll probably add 2 support tubes to the sides and get rid of the elastic straps, which don't hold well in a blow. The sail cover was one of those annoying old-school types with hooks and laces. I'll go for just about any system other than that on the next one. Pedestal covers are pretty important for long-term preservation, but none came from the manufacturer that I know of.
