RE: RE: bimini question

["Warren Hughes" <hughesw@xxxxxxx>]

Rick,

Yes, "Key Mist" is still in the south, more specifically Lake Sinclair, GA.
A bimini is a 'must have' item down here.

The bimini I bought was 4 feet in length, 3 feet, and 68-72 inches in width.
It mounts outside the jib fairlead track so the 60-66 inch like yours will
probably work. The mounts are 3-4 inches in front of the winches and when
raised the back braces rest against the lifeline pelican hooks.

Attached is a picture, not necessarily a good one, with the bimini up with
the coming from astern. There is a good 3-4 inches of clearance between the
boom and the bottom of the boom with the boom close hauled.

Thanks Warren. 

The one I bought would be one of the smallest ones West Marine has- I just
bought it online because it saved some money. It is supposed to accomodate a
width of 60-66 inches. 

That boat looks like a nice one! Is it still in the south?

Take care and thanks!
