[Rhodes22-list] non sailing reply

[Steven Alm]

Cliff,

The answer is yes.  Just as with the pop top up, the bimini will slow you
down and create more heel when you're going upwind.  Downwind is no
problem.  But from one old burn-out to another, being comfortable is usually
more important than speed.  And if you're heeling too much you can always
reef more.
