Post by osteoflyte »

Have a new 26M. Didnt't get the Mac bimini since it was black. Does any one have the length and height of the bimini mac supplies, or from experience fits. Thanks

Osteoflyte,

As far as I know, canvas are dealer type items, not manufacturer items. I would expect that most dealers would be more than willing to use whatever colour fabric you choose.

There has been much discussion in other threads on colour choices that you can search out.

My canvas is still tucked away in my storage loft, so sorry; no help with dimensions at this time :(

Regards,
Shane

I bought mine from Overtons for my 26M. I do not have the model number, but I followed the advise of Parretthead (i believe it was him) a member on the board.

If you search the archives you should be able to find his posting and he gives the model number for the one at Overtons.

You can order in Sumbrella, any of the Sunbrella colors and aluminum or stailess steel. I ordered aluminum and it is fine. The size is actually a little larger than what you would expect but works great. I think I paid about $350.

Hi Bruce - I got the F.I.S.H. today. Thank you.
Click on the "Mac Mods Page" at the left and look for 26M Bimini.
I have some info on Biminis that other customers got. I couldn't find it now but I'll look for it.

Osteoflyte,

Here's a link to my post on the Mods page http://macgregorsailors.com/cgi-bin/mod ... record=681
After 2 seasons we're still very happy with our Overtons bimini. Here are some more recent photos.

2 - providing shade

FYI - the color we got was Royal Blue [to match the sail covers our dealer had supplied] - which has some black threads in with the blue. It seemed to be the best match for the hull color. Of course, some prefer contrast, and Sunbrella comes in lots of hues.
