Bimini Photo's 365 Ketch

[SV Hope]

Has anyone got clear photo's of the mounting points for their Bimini.
We have just purchased "SV Dosia"  and are based in Australia, where no one can help with best postion for mounting (so as not to get in the way of the winches) or if the mizzen mast boom needs to be raised at all?

Welcome aboard mate. I have a sloop rig so I'll be of no help. Drew's old boat. We certainly enjoyed reading about her trip to the South Pacific.

Hi
i have a a rain top on my ketch (live in UK) ,the position off the feet is set by the park position of the poles,IE the poles when at rest live between the mizzen mast and the boom junction,the front pole is approx 1 1/2in down,you lift the mizzen boom up to swing the two rear poles back, I have a small tape around the front pole and the mast holds it hard forward and two tapes 18in in to hold it down at the rear,then you can sail OK with it up or down, I am going to the boat tonight will get you measurements to winch etc

I installed on last fall and put some pictures up on this site. Raised the mizzen to the top of the track sho I could fit under the mast with the canvas as I am 6'3". will try and get dimensions next

What happened to your boat?  The pictures look like it got caught in a fight with a stone pier and lost.  Wonderful looking rework though.  She looks sweet now!
