[Public-List] BIMINIS

[James Allocco via Public-List]

Fellow Albergers,

I have enjoyed the discussions about dodgers. I first installed mine around
1992 for probably les than $1000. Two years ago I had the canvass replaced
for about $700.  I don't need it as much in NC, especially when day sailing
but I wouldn't be without one when we cruised Lake Ontario.

What I would appreciate having in this warmer climate
  is a bimini. I never looked into one beause I always felt there was too
little head room below the boom and that the end boom sheeting would be a
problem.

Has anyone added a bimini to their Alberg. If so is it effective in keeping
the sun off the cockpit.

As always thanks to everyone for making this list so invaluable.
