Re: Bimini Construction Details

The admiral reviewed the article below and suggested changes.  Those 
changes have been made and it is now easier to read and at least some of 
the grammatical and spelling errors have been corrected.  Take a look again 
if you had trouble with the original post.

A fine woman, that admiral is.  She will even go sailing with me 
sometimes.  However, she doesn't like it unless the wind is at least 5 
mph.  A few years ago, early in her sailing experiences, we were in a 
distance race.  The wind built to 15 to 20 mph and we had the main and 
genoa up.  The boat was healing a good bit especially in the gusts and to 
make her more comfortable (my thinking), I decided to lower the genny and 
just use the main.  She didn't know much about the technicalities of 
sailing but observed that the boat behind was catching us.  She inquired as 
to why.  I explained that I lowered to genny to make it more comfortable 
for her and that was why we were going slower.  She informed me that she 
was doing just fine and gave the order to raise that big sail because she 
didn't like to loose.  We finished in the middle of the pack.

Sometimes I digress,
