After reading some discussion on here a few months ago regarding biminis, someone(sorry cant remember) mentioned these from melbourne. Cost 120 delivered to my lil town bundanoon, free shipping. Easy enough to put together. I will have to suss mounting it either on the rear rails or deck and will have to make some zips so i canget the back stays through the bimini, and am able to close it up. comes with a cover, some straps to secure it. 4 fixing points. dont think it will be too hard to fit on the stern above the seats.

Are you sure the backstay needs to go through it Steve?. The bimini I bought from Whitworths
a few months ago fits virtually up against the backstay and reaches almost to the end of the boom.
So try it in situ before committing to any cutting.

def sam! i dont wanna have to do any mods, but prepared if need be! yeah hg im pretty happy with it. ill see where i get this week fitting it, but first i wanna tighten my back rail/frame which will mean i will need to be a bit of a contortionist to get in the cockpit lockers to reach the nuts!
