Do you have a soft/hard top over your cockpit in this picture. It is something I am looking at installing on my own boat and am looking for ideas.

Cheers, Thomas

Hi Thomas, 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

Thanks Nigel

The adjustable height was something I had not thought of. in my case ( and probably yours too ) this could be used to give the main sail room when sailing but still allow standing headroom at times. What material have you used to construct the frame?

I would love to see some pictures when you have them!.

Cheers.

Hi Thomas, 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
