Side view of bimini folded down with cover on, in the trailering position. Top of the bimini comes right up to the mast in the crutch. My grand daughter Terri Thompson in the stern rail seat.

Side view of bimini folded down with cover on

Rear view of bimini in trailering position. The mast, crutch, and bimini are all tied together which stabilizes all of it. I also use the crutch for a fishing rod holder. We bought and customized the teak board; the 4-rod holder came from West Marine. My stern, danforth-type anchor is mounted on the stern rail. Terri has one hand on the base of a fishing rod holder (used when trolling or still fishing). The rod holder is easily detached from the base and stowed when not in use. These also came from West Marine.

Rear view of bimini in trailering position

Shows the bimini in a shortened position, still offering some shade and allowing the main sheet to
pass in front of, and the boom to pass over, the bimini so the bimini can be partially up while we are sailing.

Bimini in a shortened position

Shows the bimini in a fully deployed position with the boom secured to one side as when anchored,
moored, or in a slip.

Bimini in fully deployed

Bimini and boom in same position as previous picture. Morning Glorys name was made by a local
sign maker and is made of the same material they put on road signs. Both sides cost a total of $100 - I put them on myself. (Hint) - dont try to do it when the wind is blowing!

Bimini and boom in same position

Grand daughter Terri once again, pointing to where the bimini attaches to the top of the stern rail seat. The other attachment is on the rub rail. The bimini can be easily removed by unscrewing the four
finger bolts and lifting it off the boat.
