Completion.
Showing the bimini frame in place. The bimini was a great job by our local steelworker, Jeremy. We used a thick stainless tubing rather than the more complicated double rows of tubing some cats have, easier to construct this way and more elegant though we may have it slightly overbuilt.

The mast came from Z-Spars, same specification as of a Fontaine-Pajut Bahia cat. They cut it in half before delivery which didn’t please us too much but joining the two sections together with the slieve provided has been OK.

Graphics are stick on from a local printer/designer. We also gave some fish designs by Yoko, a friend of Sackis.
