[Rhodes22-list] Useing Bimini when sailing

[bill davidge]

Yes ..However there is a problem The more I move the top to front the higher the back of gets and  then the boom is resting on the top of the Bimini.Turing the top around makes a little change but I'm not sure which way is best , some thing to play with on a day when there no wind 
  Sorry no pict I forgot my camera.

That pict. I sent was not Me or my boat I have a 1992 Rebuilt in May 2007 But as far as the sailing with the top up, I have given it a try and it works 

I do have a problem with my Genoa when it out all the way it's 3 or 4 ft above the deck and the leech of the sail is in the shrouds .If you can still look at that great looking Red R22 it looks like the Genoa is all most hitting the hull .See attachments Is mine ridged right ?

Bill,

Thanks very much for your message and pict. I'm really surprised at how 
much leg room you have once you shifted forward. I'm going to try that.

Also, looking at your great looking boat, it occurred to me, we really out 
to have a place where we can post picts of our boats. That's a good picture, 
and a lot of the other people on the list have great pictures also. It's 
impressive.

Thanks again, I'll try it.

Dave
