I've held the bigger-boat-bug at bay by trying to make my little boat "sail big" It'd be darn near perfect if I wasn't sitting there roasting in the sun... Are there bimini options for very small boats with relatively low booms?
Options that would still allow me to climb up onto the cabin top to go forward if necessary. And not interfere with the mainsheet.
The boat in question is a Venture 17. I'm fairly handy and very cheap. If the solution can be home-made for much less than store-bought I'd go that route.
Another kind of dumb question... how do you see the mainsail when you're sitting under a bimini?
Maybe I should just buy a big old hat, some SPF 50 and be done with it...
Wouldn't mind baking in the sun on my boat right now. It's barely above freezing for the first time in a week here in south central PA. Thinking about biminis (and bikinis) is keeping me warm!
