Ericson 27 Bimini

[Gregoryulrich]

Any E27 owners out there with biminis? I'm looking for one which I can keep set up while sailing. I've seen a prefab one for sale at West Marine that might work for under $300.

This is a simple arrangement.

Is this the Taylor Made Bimini?

Mark believes that it was made by Shademate and purchased through Overton's.

I just checked with a friend who used to have an E27, and he picked up a bimini off the shelf from Taylor Made, and then had a local sailmaker install a zipper in it so you could get it around the backstay. He had the wheel model, and it worked well under sail.

Sweet, thanks guys. It looks like Westmarine sells an Atwood bimini with Sunbrella for $260 which is less than the Taylor Made with Ultima fabric. They all look like a similar set up except the fabric. I'm not too into the Ultima fabric. It seems a little thin to me.
