I've got the frame built. It is gonna be sweet. I should be thru in a couple of days. I went back to the boat and measured the height of the back stay tackle when pulled down under the bimini. I have decided to make the slot 6 inches wide which will accommodate the tackle and back stay when slightly tensioned. After all, the top will only be used when cruising. I'll try to post pics when finished.
Thanks,
Robert Knight
