bimimi for my 1976 27'

[pcb don]

We want to put a bimimi on our 27' and would like to here from anyone who has any suggestions on where to purchase one. The key of course is being to find someone who has made them before to insure a proper fit.
Thanks
Don

Hi,

everything you need to know is in this thread - you can buy one off the shelf from Taylor:

David,
Thanks for the info, since I plan on doing some serious sailing the question will be if I can have a bimimi to cover the entire cockpit while under sail for rain days.

Hi Don,

wish I could give you a real answer, but I'd honestly be guessing. I sold my E-27 many years ago, and on Emerald, I have a piece that connects my dodger to my bimini, but even on this larger boat, it would be very hard to sail due to mainsheet control with this arrangement. It would be best to talk with a local canvas shop for this type of work.

Hope this helps.
