Racing off Palau Besar with Changi Yacht Club, finished 3rd overall for the series, competing with Corsair trimarans, an M23 tri and Leopard 38. Helps to have a great handicap.

Nigel, the Busket have a rigid bimini? You have problens with rain? I will change my bimini, to cover the hatches in rain days. Here in Rio de Janeiro rain a lot drizzle in winter and tropical sunset storms in the summer.

nice race...

Hi Rogerio, the bimini is a soft design that I can adjust for both height for standing head room at anchor and is also adjustable to provide cover to the hull hatches. I also have back and sides that can zip on to provide good protection at anchor. The frame is mounted on the beam at the back of the cockpit and on the roof of the central cabin. I need to get photo's so you have a better idea but took a couple of years experimenting to get right. Cheers

Hi Nigel, would love to see more pictures or your cockpit setup and your bimini.

Cheers

Hi Ricardo, have added photo's. Happy to answer any questions. What isn't shown is the cover that ties across the back which we use to keep sun blocked from astern when sailing or at anchor and the zip on side panels that encloses the bimini when anchored. Still not quite water tight so some work left. Cheers
