Bimini?

[alsantini]

Hello everyone.  Does anyone know who supplied the Bimini tops that came from Com Pac?  Also, I calculate (estimate?) it as 36 high (from coamings) 68 in wide and 48 high.  Do my measurements make sense?  Thanks appreciate any and all information.  I am having little luck in finding a ready-made Bimini that looks like it will fit.  Sail on,  Al

Al - I ordered the Bimini for my Sunday Cat through Com-Pac back in 2015 or so.  Since I never put it on the boat and stored it inside I thought it might have a legible label on it.  And, it did!

Contacted them and they want $1560 for the Bimini.  Sounds a bit steep.  Anyone used a prefab one off the shelf?  If yes, what general dimensions, especially the length?  AmeriSeam  says original is 31 high 72 in long and 68-70 side mounting on the coamings (I think they are called the coamings....- what your back is against when sitting in the cockpit).  Thanks.  Another question for those that have the supplied Bimini.  Does it cover the entire cockpit?  When up, can you go forward to the bow easily?    Al

Al my Suncat bimini was made by Westland 800-835-7992.  You might want to check with them.  I replaced the weathered canvas in Jan. 2022 and went with Sunbrella.  I bought it from Westland.

Al, maybe you could contact ShipShape Canvas out of Duluth, MN, to see if they can accommodate. They are great and just reupholstered my 25's cushions and made me a new mainsail cover. I'm also having them make winter covers for my 23 and 25. Excellent customer service, work, quality, etc.

Al, if you locate a frame but need any canvas work, our daughter works for Johnson Seat & Canvas in Cortland, IL. (just east of DeKalb) Last year her canvas work placed 2nd at the Chicago Canvas Convention.

She made the bimini and interior cushions for my 19.
