Title: Eclipse bimini
Post by: GeorgeH on July 03, 2025, 12:53:08 PM
Eclipse #59, Silvergirl. Before we roast away sailing on Lake Cayuga, upstate NY, does anyone know where Com Pac had bimnis made for these fine vessels? Canvas folks around here backed up until the fall, not needed then.

There were 2 styles, advantages of each?

Thanks, George

Thanks for the link, probably not worth the effort.  Hmmm...anyone try an umbrella for some shade in light winds? Possibly attached to the arch?

I've attached a tarp from the arch up over the cabin top tied to the mast and midship cleat/stanchions for some protection when on anchor, but I don't know if that would work well under sail.  There is just barely enough head room to sit comfortably
