I am glad this one is finished .
Bimini for a fly bridge Princess 56, It's only 4m x 3.6m about 13ft x 11ft I think.
It's been one of those jobs, it's gone pretty well really.
Started with doing a half pattern ( not something I usually do) as the wind was rising & bad weather was forecast.  :(
I was using Reacril, it is so stiff it's made very thing hurt, shoulders, arms, hands just getting it through the machine.
I was thinking of an excuse reason not to top stitch the pole seams & figured I would settle on the front & back only. Was that a mistake  ??? time will tell.

Sorry no photo today as my trusty Lumix has thrown up a focus error. The OH is about to take it apart as it's well out of guarantee. Me thinks it's going to be a birthday/ Christmas present coming up.  :D

I can see the first photo.  The second one links to my e-mail login screen ????  Go figure. 

Anyway, that's a BIG top!  Nice work, Suzi. 

And yeah, Mike, reminds me of that old PSC where they show an egg frying - "this is your brain on drugs"....   Good way to cook you noodle. 

Aside (for Mojo) - I recall doing some contract work for the military back in my corporate days and the gang on the radar at Dobbins AF base in Georgia used to use their radar to kill birds like most of us would use shotguns.  Kinda scary how much RF is going through all of us ALL the time.
