Hi Ryan, Do you have a split backstay? That will force a hole or a slit in the bimini to make it work. I can't tell from your pic - nice looking boat by the way. I also have a 30MK1 and am looking for a good bimini solution that won't get in the way while racing but provides some protection from the broiling sun. I will be watching this space to see what turns up. Hopefully we can get some pics of working biminis on MK1s.
Cheers, Joe 1975 30MK1 "Zia" Annapolis Message: 8 Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2016 09:53:08 -0400 From: Ryan Doyle <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Stus-List Bimini top for a 30mki Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hey everyone, My spray dodger/gerry-rigged bimini top has seen better days. I'm thinking about losing the spray dodger to increase visibility, but keeping it in storage for when I go in open water - and just buying a nice bimini top and frame for cruising around. Does anyone have a recommendation for a bimini system for a 1976 30mki? It's a tiller boat and the main traveler is at the back of the cockpit. Also, I think a black bimini would look great. Is the color black a bad idea bc of heat? I see so many dark navy tops... Dark navy can't be that much cooler than black. I would also buy a black sail cover. This is a shot of the boat: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8g8d5sXYVWGLXZnbVY4WEpSYk0 Any advice is appreciated.
