[Rhodes22-list] Bimini Height from cockpit floor?

[Mary Lou Troy]

Greg,
We have the IMF main. The boom has two positions -  upper and lower. 
(With the IMF main, when you move the boom from one position to the 
other, the whole main sail moves with it up or down in the slot.) We 
can only use the bimini with the boom in the upper position (where it 
clears the raised poptop) and even then, the bimini rubs the top of 
the bimini closehauled. Our bimini is set so it is higher in front 
(so it slightly clears and overlaps the raised poptop. Fred who is 5' 
7" can almost stand under it but not quite. I am 5' tall and can 
stand up under the bimini.

Best,
Mary Lou
