All the mains that I have ever had attached to the boom with a rope the length of the foot. My new one has a slide on the end and that is it. I assume that for lighter wind I ease up on the outhaul and when the wind pipes up I tighten the outhaul. Also it has 3 full length battens that are held in the pockets with a 6 inch nylon tab that has velcro on one side. It seems to be a very nice sail but new technology to me. Any advice from the group? >>> timothy nathan <[email protected]> 6/1/2010 5:52 AM >>> When you get it installed. Take a few pictures. I for one would love to see what it looks like. --- On Tue, 6/1/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [IC27A] Re: Bimini Suggestions To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, June 1, 2010, 7:42 AM I just ordered a Taylor bimini. It will mount on the deck of my '77 and extend from the cabin to about 6" short of the mainsheet (aft mounted mainsheet - would have been easier with a cabin mounted traveler)). In Theory, it should work fine, I'll let you know in about a week. Price was very good $219 for a 6' long, 54"high and 87" wide in Hunter green to match my boat and canvas, including boot.. Check Ebay. The guy I bought it from is in Tampa (the bimini ships from NY) his email is teet...@verizon. net. Phone 813 2401617 Nice guy, sounds reputable and fully guarantees all his sales.
