Re: Stus-List Bimini top with solar panels?
https://photos.app.goo.gl/8ySjGTPWTwvEPBQF7 This is what I have. It's a lightweight construction made of wood. It's large, so great for the tropics. There are two small semitransparent "skylights" so I can peek at the sails while underway. The solar panels are screwed onto the roof at the back. The section in the middle is strong enough to hold an adult, so I can climb up there to unzip the lazy bag. It works as a raincatcher too. I have to unscrew it to remove it, but I've never actually done it myself.

Re: Stus-List Bimini top with solar panels?
Here is what I have. I remove the panels each winter. Takes 10-15 minutes. I’ll be at the boat tomorrow. I’ll try and take some better ones. https://photos.app.goo.gl/YYDeqZHebU1SumQ3A /John > On Sep 20, 2019, at 2:53 PM, Bruce Whitmore wrote: > > Hello all, > > I have re-registered to the list using my Gmail account as I was having > problems getting emails through m SBC/Yahoo account.

Re: Stus-List Bimini top with solar panels?
Sounds like an interesting idea. Our current bimini folds back to lay against the solar arch as the boom is too low to use it while sailing. The solar panels alone provide some shade at the helm, and in our climate, we usually want the sun. If we decide this is the boat to go south in, I may look at raising the boom a bit to allow for a better bimini. I was watching a recent video from Sailing Uma on YT where they got a new solar arch welded up somewhere in the Chesapeake Bay area; might be worth checking out for ideas, as being storm worthy was one of their criteria. It was a video from the current season. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto On Fri, Sep 20, 2019 at 11:54 AM Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hello all, > > I have re-registered to the list using my Gmail account as I was having > problems getting emails through m SBC/Yahoo account.

Stus-List Bimini top with solar panels?
Hello all, I have re-registered to the list using my Gmail account as I was having problems getting emails through m SBC/Yahoo account. So, if some of you were reaching out to me, please rest assured I was not ignoring you, and feel free to send something through here or to bruce.whitmo...@gmail.com. At any rate, I want to replace our Sunbrella bimini with a combination of 100 watt fixed solar panels and translucent polycarbonate structured sheets such as those here: www.hardtotop.com. One thing though - I want to make sure both the solar panels and the plastic are relatively easy to remove due to the risk of hurricanes here in Florida. Has anyone done anything like this, and can you provide pictures? Thanks!
