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.
