[Rhodes22-list] bimini Re: Ron's new boat at Boca Ciega

The following may be of some assistance. I took a standard Taylor oversized  
bimini and "taylored" it to fit my Rhodes 22. Shortened the three center  
aluminum tubes to fit width measurements, then put down a small three foot slide  
track, adjacent to the port and starboard sail block tracks. I put sliders on  
each of the bimini legs. All this is readily available and takes minutes to  
replace. The bimini's straps were replaced by shock cords mounted fore and 
aft,  each with an snap hook.  I've used this system with no problem.... It's  
track permits a great deal of storage and erect placement. A single screw in  
each slider, easily removes it for storage when desired. The dia. of the shock  
cord easily adjusts to the amt. of tension desired.
