[Rhodes22-list] Bimini

[Leland]

David,

I store my bimini on top of the poptop.  It's the most convenient and
out-of-the-way location for me.  Biggest negative is that it makes the
poptop dirty.  I couldn't find a picture of the stored bimini with the boom
down but here's one with the bimini stored:

The lowered boom normally doesn't touch the stored bimini when sailing and
the raised boom normally doesn't touch the deployed bimini when sailing.  If
it does I can raise the end of the boom slightly with the topping lift.

Here's how I store the bimini while sailing with the poptop up:

In this picture I intentionally lowered the boom to secure the bimini
because I was too lazy to attach the support straps.  I wouldn't recommend
this undersail:

What do you mean by "up"? We swing our boom to one side to open the bimini,
then swing it back.
