Perhaps your ignorance can be forgiven because
snapshots don't show angles too well but the
bimini frame in no way interferes with the run of
the lines.

Yes, the frame does make it impossible to turn
the winch handle through 360 degrees but, like
I said, that does not matter. The handle turns freely
through more than 180 degrees and that's plenty
enough to ratchet a sheet up tightly.

Hey, I'm sorry if I'm not as stupid as you are.
I am smart enough to realize not being able to
turn a winch handle through 360 degrees is much
more preferable than sitting in the sun getting
skin cancer. But, then again, I guess sitting in
the air conditioned pilot house of your trawler
provides you with plenty of shade so what would
YOU know about a bimini.

As opposed to the idiot who mounted the bimini so that the sheets cannot be led fair to the winch, nor the
winch handle turned....

Anyone who actually sailed would have forseen this problem.

As I said, it hardly matters on a boat that never sails anyway.

In other words, you can't set up a bimini AND you can't take a good picture.

Bwahahaha!

Neal,

I have to compliment you on the condition of those cockpit seats. Most
Coronados are a splintery mess. At least what I can see at the hinge
looks great!

Thanks Thom. Good eye!

I got tired of the rotten wood a couple of years ago and made
the seats/locker hatches out of 3/4" Star Board® which is a plastic
guaranteed for life. Expensive as hell but worth it. I will never
have to maintain rotting wood hatches again. Between the two
hatches there is 250 dollars of plastic. (including the cost to
have them custom cut and beveled.

Makes one wonder why the hatches weren't made out of a suitable material in the first place.

Thus doubling the value of your vessel.

What, don't you know how to cut a bevel?
