Vyv - does the main sheet prevent your bimini being used under sail?
As Chris says, the bridging piece is added after the mainsheet is disconnected from its car and connected to the base of one of the stanchions. The bimini is always up and has so far withstood more than 40 knots of wind for three consecutive days. Adding the two struts forward, close to the genoa sheet winches, was a modification that transformed the stability of the bimini.
