[Rhodes22-list] bimini support attachments to stern rail

[John Keyser]

Hi Jesse,

I took a little different approach to bimini storage. I just added two bimini leg holders (don't know if it's the correct term, but that's what they are) a bit aft of the ones that I use when the top's up. When not in use, I can fold it up, move it back to the aft set of holders, flip the main sheet over it, and it just stays there. I don't have pictures specifically of this, but here are some pics which can give you a general idea. In the pictures of the cockpit, you can make out the second set of holders between the winch and the forward leg of the stern rail.  Speaking of biminis, I also added zippers (mine didn't have them and I had to disassemble the frame to get the top off) to the sleeves that fit over the frame to be able to get it on and off a whole lot easier.

Hope this helps.

John

Peter,

While watching some of your videos, I noticed that at some point you added
bars that attach your bimini frame to your stern rail.  I was thinking about
doing something similar since that would be a more convenient place to store
the bimini when not in use.  When it is stored forward against the cabin it
makes it a bit more challenging to see forward.  Since she is shorter,
visibility is more of an issue for my wife as she learns to skipper.  That
would be great if you could share any info you have on model / dimensions /
source.

Thanks again for making all the videos.  In your most recent video, I think
you mentioned that you'll be working on a video describing your anchoring
process.  I am looking forward to seeing how all your modifications (bow
roller, rode bags in the lazarette) come together.

For any others that may have added supports to store the bimini aft, feel
free to chime in.

Thanks!

Jesse
