bimini examples for double ender sailboat

[hd002e]

My boat has a fairly standard design as far as double enders go. The previous owners never had a bimini installed on it and made do with only a dodger. However in the mediterranean where I intend to do most of my sailing in the next couple years its too sunny to hide under just a dodger. I am looking for examples of how others might have solved the bimini dilemma as space is limited and the backstay / long boom gets in the way quite a bit.

Please share your bimini photos on your double ender to help me design one for myself. Thank you!

No photo but a friend with a Pacific Seacraft 37 pushed his supports off the cockpit combing and integrated it with the stanchions on the rail, great idea and it opened up allot of space and would give more shade, he was after more rain protection and solid rails for flip up solar panels…..

I'm in a similar boat as you. My thinking right now is to have the hoops come back to the stern railing with at least one hoop behind the backstay. I've collected some pictures of other double ender bimini's.
