[LittleShip]

Hey ?? Ive got one of them as well!! and like you no bloody sunshine /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[mainshiptom]

give us more details ! ( a picture please), who done it , How high, does it catach the wind? Has it got an option for side panels?

You can tell I am thinking of one?

Tom

 

[paulineb]

Master Trim did it beautifully. I don't know how high, you can stand under it with room above your head. No option for side panels; partly because its only for the med, and partly because if you use it with side panels it looks like a greenhouse /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[mainshiptom]

who is master trim?


Sound like a ____

 

[paulineb]

oi .... don't start with your clit/cleat again /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif. Anyway I made a mistake (oooops) Master Trim did our seat covers. The Trimming Centre (Brighton) did the bimini cover.

 

[MedDreamer]

Actually Pauline the side covers are very useful, certainly don't need them in Summer but there can be sneaky chilly breezes early and late in the year and surreptitious use of the side covers can make the difference between retreating below deck and enjoying the fresh air.

 

[paulineb]

hmmm ... I see what you mean - but it still looks like a greenhouse /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[MedDreamer]

My SWMBO refers to our full covers as "The Conservatory"

 

[jfm]

What colour?

BTW there was a 50m Benetti in St Trop this weekend called Tommy. The blimmin cheek of it.

 

[paulineb]

it's an off white colour, cos Tommy is cream.

Bloody cheek !!! I bet no one tells him he's not supposed to give his boat a boy's name.

 

[paulineb]

seeeeeeeee .... it's obviously a girly thing

 

[mikewilkes]

There is a hell of a cold wind comes down from Andora in winter. Definately brass monkey stuff.
Fit zippable / removable ones and keep warm. Never mind what Tommy looks like if you are warm!!!

 

[MedDreamer]

So you planning on coming across to Marj Orca then?

 

[jfm]

Good choice. White/cream feels "bigger" as you sit underneath it imho. Also better at night for eating dinner at anchor as the sun goes down, I mean you can see what you're eating a bit longer

Dunno who owns the benetti Tommy. Googled for it but no answer. It's not a charter boat I dont think so not on the charterboat websites /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[paulineb]

Definitely. we're visiting the balaerics along with Scotty. He'll have to leave 2 weeks ahead of us of course /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[paulineb]

She has aft deck covers and I have no intention of going on the flybridge in the winter /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif ...... I'm not one to rough it Mike /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[paulineb]

Don't forget to come and have dinner with us if you get to Barca xx

 

[robind]

Hi !
Was that the one I saw the trimmers carrying from their van today! it looked very well made. Did you sort out your Mirror?
Rob

 

[paulineb]

blimmin ek Robin, is nothing secret in this marina /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Yep, that's the one. That was the bit that goes over the sunbathing bit of the flybridge. They're coming back to fit the front bit. I wanted it in 2 halves.

Haven't quite got around to the mirror yet. It's on my list tho
