We wanted it in order to be able to endure comfortably the very low winter temperatures, as well as the “climate hazards” as rain or wind, with, finally, heating savings. Those canopies are frequent here in Northern Europe, but it’s not so usual to get one in addition to an already existing “bimini”, (roof on cockpit). We wanted also to : • keep free access to the helmsman seat • use the sheets, winchs, back cleat • use the gangways • resist to the snow weight • have as much as light as possible • keep an eye on the mainsail 1. It begins by sewing long nylon zippers on the inner side of the bimini 2. Then he made shapes in plastic for the vertical sides and the more complicated back one. Those shapes are fixed to the zippers with needles. 3. In the workshop, cutting of the sides and sewing the other part of the zippers on the “walls". 4. Test on site, recutting of the back “wall” 5. Cutting and sewing of the vertical windows 6. Bimini : reinforcement of the roof with a supple batten in a sheath, and upper reinforcement with a suspension rope to the boom.We take the opportunity of this sheath for leaving inside a guide-thread which will be used to fix an electric wire for the lightening of the canopy. Creation of a big window, which can be overshadowed by a curtain (with velcro). Side-eyelets to fix the bimini if there’s too much wind. 7. Arranging the lateral fixations : elastic on the walls, button screwed in the boat. 8. The most difficult, the closing part between the bimini and the hatch’s roof, because there’s no much space. 9. Arranging the snap fasteners for fixing the opened or semi-opened walls, so that we can use the winch if needed. The result is exactly what we were expecting. The small difficulty to enter is only due to the bimini. We tried to navigate with the opened walls (which I call the “caribbean position”, but I was not at ease, because of the bimini which is slightly too long on the sides, even if the windows are very transparent. Last word for the building-dismantling ; you can fold the walls, then roll them. I put them in a bag. The bimini rolls like before in its bag, even with the thickness of the zippers. It takes not more than 10 mn to build it up again.
