Bimni top ideas E 35 mk 2 with aft travler

[Tomwine]

Trying to figure out a way to add a nice Bimini top on my E 35. My traveler is in the back of the cockpit and I can't figure out how I can get a Bimini installed that will give me some good shade coverage. I really don't want to relocate the traveler on the cabin top. I'm sure someone here has some ideas and pictures if this can or has be done.
Any ideas will be most helpful.
Thanks for all of the great information available on this site. If there is another thread that has info on this I couldn't find it searching.

Your Ericson, my Olson 34, and the Ericson 31C (and some others) have a traveler in the "right place" for sailing, but... not as nice for accommodating protective canvas.
I have seen all of these boats with a dodger, a bimini that ends about the boom starts, and a split connecting piece for times when the boat is moored or motoring.

Our plan is to eventually replace our small hatch-width dodger with this type of multi-section canvas.
