There is also something they call a "fly" it is like an inexpensive bimini and
it attaches to the backstay and zips to the dodger. It has a rod at the back
end then, shock cord to the gunwall...
My boat came with one but I haven't used it because it also came with a brand
new bimini. I keep thinking it may feel more open than the full canvas though.
So, I intend to try it at some point...

A while ago a friend at NSC developed one for his 30 which got wrecked while
being towed to Maine for a month of cruising.
Here's what I remember when he designed his.
- Slight curve to the forward edge to allow the mainsheet to pass through
and maximixe coveate.
- Height was above shoulder height when standing on the seat, as you need
to do to get around the wheel.
- zippers to allow the back stays to pass through without being
disconnected.
- Hung over the transom about half the distance of the rudder centered to
give coverage to the helm.
- Fastening points were forward and aft enough to not interfere when in the
normal helming position leaned up
against the forward end of the pushpit.
- Leading zipper to attach full enclosure to dodger when not sailing.
Food for thought.

Hello Guys,
I don't think I can go through another summer without a Bimini top. I have seen
other C&C 30s with Bimini and Dodgers in the past but I haven't paid
attention to how they solve the issue with backstays, main sheets, and the boom
position. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Cheers,
Aaron R.
