#1 Re: General discussion » Bimini for MK1 » 2006-12-06 23:36:45

I am in the same boat as you Sue.  I am looking for a Bimini for CJ.  There was a Bimini on it when I bought it but was not well designed in that there was no sighting window for my mast wind vane, in the cockpit to stand up you had to be shorter than 5' 5", and get on and off you had to crawl towards the bow.  I took it off and find it much easier to maneuver but am not looking forward to the FL summer sun.  I am trying to contract a local sail maker to do the job of redesigning the bimini.  Things I have looked at with the Mk I Hull #100 is raising the boom, shortening the main sail, and moving the traveller.  I have looked at the mast and to raise the boom any higher would require some work since it already all the way to the top of its slide area.  All of these cost $$$ plus the bimini.  The rough estimate for raising the boom, shortening the main sail, and bimini with stainless steel was pretty close to 2K.  If anyone has any ideas I am open to suggestions.

I am just about finished with having a 3YM20 installed in my 1972 MkI replacing a dead A4.  When it is finished I plan on putting pictures and such in the Black Arts area.  The 20 just fit into my engine compartment.  I am looking forward to putting it in the water here soon.  I live below N31  <IMG src="http://www.cc27association.com/f3/toast/emoticons/icon_smile.gif" border=0>.  I have heard good things about Yanmar and Kubota but have not heard anything about the Perkins in the C&C.   Mark
