[alberg30] bimini top

[T K Blanc]

I purchased a bimini through Boats-r-us several years ago. It was a special order... $350 or so - stainless steel, Sunbrella fabric. I'll see if I can find some paperwork on it. It pivots on hinges which are attached outside the coamings and lays down in front of the main sheet. I don't believe you could really sail the boat with it this way - I always disconnect the feet and slide the legs inside the winch mounts when I sail with it down.
