I think the above is a beer boat at this stage, they don't have tall things with white floppy things
And also I bet when you get out of bed you put your undies on Lazz is doing the same with his boat just ,like mine SandS
But we would not say no any sponsorship

Here it is... When the Bimini is extended I can stand under it and still see forward. Also set up so the boom will pass over, VERY IMPORTANT otherwise its embarrassing to say the least!

what is he doing ,hosting his undies up your tall thing ? .............what the ...........

yep thats the one thanks nsw sailor,where did you get the fittings from.? catch you later.

The Stainless Shop
170 Taren Point Road
02 9525 1777

They have parking on site, shop is on east side of Taren Pt Rd, Ok from north
but from south you have to go past do a righty then a U turn then back into Taren
and they are a couple shops along.
They are just over the Captain Cook bridge and a major set of lights going south.
Sailmaker's Loft almost opposite [west side].

On some things they are a little bit more expensive than Whitworths but those extra cents
means that you have the complete range available, not just the odd thing.

You'll understand when you go in!

Don't forget to use mono pop rivets [from the Stainless Shop] in place of the small lug screws.
The lug screws don't work and will eventually fall out with disastrous results.

The tube fittings that are at the bottom of uprights need to have a small hole drilled [vertically] into the tube fitting
to drain any water that gets in there.

In regards to the Bimini its a standard Whitworth one.
Being made of Aluminium tube I used the black plastic fittings from Whitworths.
Key to size is getting the width right so it fits to the pushpit.
