Bimini


All I can say is that the bimini was well worth the wait.  This is not your average bimini, but then nothing I do is ever average.  In the upper photo is Vicki (Canvas By Victoria) on the pilothouse roof and "little" Steve, her son, stands next to the mast.  Vicki  is the designer, fabricator and chief installer. The second photo details the challenge of designing a bimini to fit around the mast and still be able to stow the bimini.  Concealed within the canvas is an aft frame bow that is segmented with a removable center section to allow the bow to pass forward around the radar dome so that the bimini can be stowed in a forward position.   The last photo shows the finished product.  Job well done Vicki.
