Re: Solar and Lucia 40

This is an other option for those wanting to add the support brackets of the bimini on the reinforcement rib rather than parallel with the cat axis.

The problem is that need a very good...

not exact to the thousand but quite good for shop manufacturing and DIY installation. If you want to start the business... This is for you.

Re: Solar and Lucia 40

Very good info. In SW, I import a picture and scale it using a known dimension, this is what I did with the aft of the Lucia... quite good approximation.

This is not a critical issue, because...

Re: Solar and Lucia 40

Terbonium,
Thank you for your design, debugging and pictures for solar.
I am shy to ask you more.

Re: Solar and Lucia 40

This is a study for those who do not want any overhang. In my case I would prefer not to have. If the designers of the Lucia made such simulation they would realize that making the bimini just 12in...
