I watch a lot of sailing videos on YouTube. There are a couple of pretty good applications in use.
One of them is found on the Channel Expedition Evans. I will re look at the channel and see if I re-locate the episode where they incorporate panels into their bimini. There's are actually...
Seriously glad you did this. We are looking for the same solution. We currently have used (twice) a market umbrella that is more "rectangular". We took off the table top in the cockpit and put the umbrella down in the shaft. Works great actually but I wanted something a bit cleaner without...
