A while ago a friend at NSC developed one for his 30 which got wrecked
while being towed to Maine for a month of cruising.
Here's what I remember when he designed his.
- Slight curve to the forward edge to allow the mainsheet to pass
through and maximixe coveate.
- Height was above shoulder height when standing on the seat, as
you need to do to get around the wheel.
- zippers to allow the back stays to pass through without being
disconnected.
- Hung over the transom about half the distance of the rudder
centered to give coverage to the helm.
- Fastening points were forward and aft enough to not interfere
when in the normal helming position leaned up
against the forward end of the pushpit.
- Leading zipper to attach full enclosure to dodger when not sailing.
Food for thought.

Hello Guys,
I don't think I can go through another summer without a Bimini top. I
have seen other C&C 30s with Bimini and Dodgers in the past but I
haven't paid attention to how they solve the issue with backstays,
main sheets, and the boom position. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Cheers,
Aaron R.
